This is a part of the beds where I’ve already put down the bark mulch, to give some idea of what the last picture will soon look like. In this image, there is a salmon-colored snapdragon in front, right, a red one above it, and to the left of the red snapdragon is a light blue delphinium. Over on the upper left corner is a chrysanthemum. It hasn’t begun to bloom yet.
The mum came from one of our pastors, Pastor Jack. Late last year, his wife of 57 years passed away and one of the flowers at the funeral was the mum, as a living tribute. I planted it in a spot that will get the most attention when it blooms and it is perennial so it will come up year after year, hopefully for many years to come.
The rest of the plants in this image are either pansies or marigolds that haven’t yet bloomed.
