sea of purple smiles =)







my sea of purple ~ this is my front flower bed with purple verbena. it is a slow starter, but shows its' true colors all summer into fall! i pull off the seed heads, spent blooms and throw into other flower beds and toss some into this same bed, to re*seed themselves. after a horrible winter of lotsa snow, cold temps ~ i am always amazed how they come back & survive. thank*u to God for the smiles, & to make me smile again. =) humble ♥

I too am surrounded by purple haze as the iris bloom all 'round my house...it is a privilege to be surrounded by such majesty and to truly see the light.

Hi Vikki,
I just saw your comment at Lori's (Katies Rose Cottage) blog, and had to come check out your therapist. What a sweet little man. I just love Dawn's work, too, and I see that she is responsible for making your blog header. You have a lovely blog.

It's gorgeous! I've never grown Verbena in a bed before, only in hanging pots. My hanging pots all suffered a demise under my less than adequate watering habits. :-(
