The flowers of open house.....

One of the perks of having your house up for sale is being able to semi-legitimize buying flowers. Luckily, there is the opportunity to get some flowers from the school garden at the moment.  I have been getting sunflowers from the garden-we had planted some with the girl scouts and there are a bunch growing wild.  They look lovely on the dining room table and they last longer than if you buy them in the store.  I also got the pink ones in the garden, don't know what they are but there were a lot of bees on them.  My garden is doing OK, it's overgrown but good since it saves watering.  We have loads of black eyed Susans and the Japanese anemones are starting to flower now.  We have a few things growing on the front porch.  One pot of gazanias and one of lantana (both in my favourite category)
