Fading sedum flowers

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

sedum

This is a photo of my Sedum of unknown name in my backyard. The plant came with the house and must be one of the older varieties. It’s quite floppy, especially when well watered.

I took this photo at the beginning of October when the flowers were just starting to die down. The bumble bee’s were out and were especially enjoying the New York Asters but they like visiting the Sedum plants as well.

Redecorating? Consider Modern Furniture

by Tricia

I know that I’ve said many times that I live in an older home and my decor tends towards traditional and antique styles but I do enjoy some of the modern furniture pieces. In fact, perhaps when we get around to renovating our basement I’ll choose more modern decor.

If you enjoy the the look of modern furniture you might want to visit Concept Furniture. They have a wide selection furnishings for the whole home.

All of the furniture is authentic brand name European made furniture.

Their furnishings come from Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy and France. The pieces are crafted in Europe and then shipped to the Concept Furniture warehouse in the US.

I really like their sofas and coffee tables.

I can certainly see a room in my house, probably the basement which will be a den, with a large modern sectional sofa. It would be perfect for lounging on during movie night! They look so comfortable.

Lovely hyacinth

Purple Hyacinth

I love scented spring flowers, don’t you?

I believe that the Hyacinth is one of the strongest scented spring flowers. They’re lovely scent is so strong that if I have the kitchen window open just a little bit when the flowers are blooming in the back garden I can sometimes smell the scent in my living room at the front of the house!

Hyacinths come in many colors. You can get white, red, blue, purple, coral/peach and several other different colors. Rather than buying packages of bulbs with mixed colors I prefer to buy separate packages of bulbs with specific colors so that I can coordinate them in the garden beds. Placing certain colors beside other spring flowers that they will compliment.

I know the Spring is still a long way off so I’ll have to wait patiently for my hyacinths to bloom.

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information.
