Colorful garden georgia: Quick notes

Happy Monday GPODers!

Winter is hitting much of North America particularly hard this year, but at Garden Photo of the Day you can still expect to see color and warmth. Today’s helping of beautiful blooms and vibrant foliage comes from Connie Raines in Griffin, Georgia (Zone 8b). Connie has shared highlights from her garden a couple of times in the past few years (Connie’s New Garden Part 1 and Part 2), and the latest batch of photos show a landscape that brings joy in every season.

39 years of gardening….in three different homes. Many plants transferred from original home to now the third home. Organic gardening since 1995.

Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus, Zones 4–8) gone wild.

An arbor, originally from an 1913 homestead, relocated to our backyard near the creek. Now its third home.

Moonflowers (Ipomoea alba, Zones 10–12 or as an annual), raspberry celosia (Celosia spicata, annual) (both from seed), and black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta, Zones 3–9) given to me in 1987 by an old neighbor.

Moonflowers are happy here!
