Blooming Things

Dahlia "Mystic Sparkler":

The crepe myrtles are looking good:


Several salvias are already flowering, but this one with white flowers, which is the favourite of the birds, is just starting:

And today, this arrived:
The "Bloom" templates. I found a seller in Australia who had one set left. Paying $8 to get them here from Queensland was better than paying nearly $40 to get them here from the US. Having the templates will make the Bloom Sew-Along easier to participate in.

Vireya, you have beautiful flowers. Everything is under the snow in our country. So I'm glad to see you with you flowers. Greeting across the ocean sends Marie

Your garden is looking good, none of my dahlias really grew properly let alone flowered, so might take them off the wish list of plants suitable for our area. Love Crepe myrtles and the colours of yours are magnificent, I also love them in autumn, such a good value feature tree.
