A Note from the Flowers
We all agree
we need a little space in your yard
some sunshine and shade
please, keep it SIMPLE
plant one or two types of flowers
keep it SIMPLE
think outside the flower pot
add a piece of sculpture,
place us in an old bird bath
a rusty old wheelbarrow would be fun
we love to live beside a reflecting ball
place some pottery bowls in the soil
to hold water for our small friends
who drink it clean and fresh
keep us safe from nasty weeds
give us water early in the day
and chase away harmful bugs and worms
our needs are simple.
We all say, “Let the blooming begin.”

Photo Essay by Lynda McKinney Lambert
Tell me about your favorite flower?
I’d like to hear all about YOUR garden.
Is it a container garden?
Is it a collection of potted plants placed in various places in your home or outside?
Is your garden a typical flower garden somewhere outside?
The smallest spaces can become a lovely little garden!

I have flower gardens in all sorts of places in my yard.
Mossy rocks define the space and inside the garden are Hosta Plants and Garden Crop Rock plants.
Mossy Rocks Garden
I planted shade plants in this triangle-shaped space.
I put some ceramic sculptures into this triangle and a wonderful birdbath base holds a reflecting ball I brought home from Austria one summer.
Mossy Rocks Garden fits nicely beside the porch. This area is shaded most of the day.
Look close – can you see a SNAIL and a FROG? Schmolly the SNAIL and Theodora, the FROG – are ceramic sculptures made by Ilsa Barry, a librarian from Burlington, KY. She is our daughter and she made them as GIFTS to us one year.
Note from Lynda:
Last year, I started writing a series of Garden Songs and posting them on my blog, Walking by Inner Vision.
Today, I took a look to see which of the Garden Song poems was the most visited one of the year.
You may visit the Garden Song, which is #1 from last year Read it now.
