Welcome back to my Cousin Sue's "Blooming Place".  In 2017, I shared a Blooming Place tour HERE, and also in 2012 HERE.

Scroll on down for the closeups and plant identification.

I really like Sue's plastic rock edging, and it has held up really well over the years.

Photo of garden plants with labelsI have labeled many of the larger plantings. The closeups will highlight the single plants.

Photo of blooming calendulas
This close up shot is sea of yellow and orange! The plants are annual  Lady Godiva Yellow and Orange Calendulas.

I planted them in my garden this year for the first time.  I highly recommend them.

Photo of a ruffled Echeverias succulent in the garden
When I first looked at this plant, I thought it was an ornamental cabbage of some kind, but it's really a Frilly Echeveria succulent.

A pot of annual baby's breath is in behind the succulent.

I never really grow Gazanias, but maybe I have to start.  This variety, Big Kiss White Flame is gorgeous.

A new addition to the garden is this Evergreen Mosaic Globe Garden Stake that lights up with solar power.

This is an underused and under-loved annual for sure.  This Cuphea Honeybells is just loaded with blossoms.

  1. thanks for sharing all her beautiful plantings, Carlene. I'm always interested in seeing what plants work well with each other. (I've had a few that just didn't work) I'm pinning this to my gardening board!
