Wake Me up Raindrops



Raindrops - a rare treat in the garden this summer....

Woke up to the sound of raindrops on my bedroom window and it felt like Christmas morning. Unfortunately, it was only a little drizzle that was done before my first cup of coffee was complete.

Variegated Morning Glory 'Minibar Rose'


Amazing what a few raindrops can do. The humidity has dropped and the flowers have perked up after a long week of heat. One of the treasures to find today was the Morning Glory 'Minibar Rose' had perked up. It appeared to have climbed a foot over night.

Morning Glory : Ivy-Like Variegated Foliage


I am enjoying its' dance across the split rail fence in the Greenhouse Landscaping. The tiny variegated leaves remind me of the English ivy.


One thing for sure, this vine is putting off plenty of blooms to make this a great share for Fertilize Friday.

Maybe tomorrow I will catch an open bloom to share with y'all but don't hold your breath because you have to get up pretty early to catch the morning glory and I'm on a four day holiday! Enjoy your Friday Friends - Bren
