Last summer I posted about the joy of planting flowers in my garden. Now, since I got a digital camera in January, I can share with you! I’m also including here the album I made of my cat Max because he’s just so damn fat and cute. 😃 I hope other dopers have photos online of their gardens, too!

Wow, the Lantana in My Garden 1 is stunning. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that flower before. I am now very jealous. I am (finally!) moving from my apartment to a house next week–basically too late to start any plants. I will probably put some pots of violas around, in defiance. I am growing basil on my windowsill right now, though. ---

Oh. I haven’t heard of lantana because I’ve never lived in a climate zone it can survive. Pardon me while I sulk. ---

Your cat has some serious mama hips. Never seen a cat with such a badonkadonk before. P.S. I think the dahlia is my new favorite flower ever. ---

Here in Ohio, they’re sold as annuals. They don’t make it through the winter unless you have a greenhouse, but they are really nice all summer. GT
