Back in the Garden for Wednesday.....With Some New Plants

 

How could I not buy this plant ?

One of the common names is

Flowering Maple.

The Abutilon "Bella Select Mix",

 is in the mallow family.

 

 

The leaves remind me of a maple tree.

It is also heat tolerant...

A good thing,

 because our summers can be brutal.

 

 

 Coleus are often referred as "eye dazzlers"

 

Looks like something has found the foliage tasty.

It is no wonder, with all the rain we've had.

 

 

It takes nightly trips, with a flashlight,

 to hunt down the garden snails.

 

The variegated English Ivy,

 I planted last year,

 is now trailing over the retaining wall.

 

 

I hope you enjoyed the sampling of plants today.

 

It's a lovely spot to enjoy... with a cup of tea.

And today it was served with

 freshly baked lemon pound cake.

 

Remember, you are always welcome.
