Some Scottville Flowers

 I managed to do a few things I was supposed to today. And I walked to the Post Office.

Some of these pictures were taken last week, but they are all gardens in Scottville. Still nice color.

This is the Friendship Garden at the Scottville Library.

They also have hydrangeas in this dusky pink color.

And speaking of dusty pink, this is in the Friendship Garden. I had to look it up. I think it's Smooth Oregano, Origanum laevigatum.

This is a lovely annual garden set off nicely with the picket fence.


Well, well, still dealing in dusky pink. This is down the line in that annual garden. It's Celosia 'Terra Cotta.'

Moving along to more formal arrangements, this is one of the planters on Main St. It's getting a little late for the petunias to look good, but the textures and shapes are nice.

And this planter behind the Senior Center is very attractive too. I suspect it's pots set in that box, but that makes it easy care!

Finally, you've seen one of the West Shore Bank gardens in Ludington. Here's one of theirs in Scottville. Similar, but nicer with papyrus and sweet potato vine for more textures.

Tomorrow, I have to severely wean myself off this pet project because I have other things I MUST do. Still haven't gone shopping! (just for one thing)

That is the color of my hydrangea right now. They've put on their fall colors. I love the planter with the mums

Ann- I never knew hydrangeas came in so many colors. Yeah, that box works well.
