Rainy, Gloomy day in Maine, up-lifting pictures

[Bird Song Farm]

Hi,
Well, today in Maine, U.S.A. it is dark rainy, gloomy and miserable and since it must be the same way somewhere else I thought I'd share pictures of some of the flowering plants, trees, houseplants, etc. that I try to grow around my home.

The "full size" link is in the upper right corner and my pics are really best viewed at full resolution.

Hope you enjoy at least one of them. They are sized for desk top wallpaper at 1024 x 768

Hey Al,
It's rainy here as well and quite cool. Thanks for sharing the pics. They really picked me up from the gloom. I love the bi-color and apricot Begonias. Also the Mountain
Bluette is really striking. Haven't heard much about them except that they are a perennial. How big do they get and are they a member of some family of plants?

Hi Tobi,
The Mountain Bluette gets about 2 feet tall and spreads itself into a circle. They also seed themselves all over the place! LOL
They are very easy, hardy and will bloom a second time in the late summer if cut back after blooming in the spring.
If you would like some, PM me and we'll work it out. You can have all the seedlings you want for postage costs.

Thanks, Al! Gloomy and chilly here today as well... It was near 100 last week- going down in the 40's tonight... geesh.. Your pictures are gorgeous, and just what I needed for a pick-me-up!

I won't say what the weather is like here ... but those are wonderful photos. The peony, clematis and streptocarpus oh and the irises are my favorites, with everything else being my next favorite. I think I could find your yard just by the fragrance!

Al you must have a large yard. I love everything!!! I really do. I wish I had the space for more plants. I think gardening is one of the best most relaxing things to do. It's good for the soul. Thanks for all those beautiful pictures.
