Winter Pansies

I pulled up the vinca today and planted pansies in their place. Lowe's is clearing out the pansies, so I got 3 6-packs and 3 3-inch pansies for $2.66. They look pretty good despite their bargain price.

Amos

It is supposed to freeze tonight, so I pulled up the gangly impatiens at Amos's feet. He looks a bit bare and naked, but maybe a little more fall-like.

Fall Garden

All summer, Tuley left the peony alone. I came home Friday to see it engulfed in a hug from Mr. Fat and Furry.
This is what happens to impatiens that got a little too dry one too many times. I think they make get just a bit too much sun around the amur maple.
The vinca around the mailbox have done really well! They tolerate days without water and hours and hours of direct sunlight.

Tiny Baby Flowers

These are the same flowers as the ones in the post below - taken mid-May right after they were planted.
