Yellow Rockets and Red Mars
Now we're cooking! Mom and I went to Bloom Hill Farm this morning (after a tasty breakfast of catfish at the Cracker Barell). I picked up a slew of snap dragons, the tall kind, and mostly lemon yellow known as yellow rockets. They are a hybrid so doubt they'll resow themselves as yellow but we shall see! I picked up a couple of soft melon pink ones for the private garden in back. Just what that mini oasis needed to set off the daylilly and oriental lilly leaves. The mourning doves basically sat on the lobelia so it's not doing as well as the stuff out by the road, but we shall see. Even that big bleeding heart took a hit, maybe from a cat scrapple.
For brightness, I picked up some red mars with tiny spiky cherry red petals, a same color zinnia, and some red verbena with a yellowish center. The red & yellow along with some of the lemon rockets now brighten up the front yard a bit. The zinnia, along with a salmon geranium sit in a clay-colored tub by the back step.
