I just posted a photo of the same Silene but I couldn't remember the cultivar name. Does yours seed around? Mine do but I don't mind. My 'River Mist' Sea Oats NEVER looked as good as yours do. Mine finally bit the dust and now I only grow the green variety. Poor me. That second Clemmy looks like 'Ville de Lyon' to me. I love both of yours.

I've found that spending all day with real 12 year olds is much easier than spending it with adults who act like 12 year olds.

Though you poke fun at your photography, I don't think that it is that bad. <br />With the post on my Double Flowering Almond I struggled with not having shown the whole shrub. It has a chunk missing from the animal damage that I mentioned in my post. It has made one side of the shrub ugly and does not give the viewer a true impression of what it should look like. And it detracted from the flowers. Still, I agree that it helps to see the overall plant and not just the glossy macro. I have also made it a goal to show more overall shots. We will see how that resolve holds up. I am not as courageous as you are. I like a pretty picture!

I hit the wrong button and I had to start all over again with my comment! UGH! You have photo skills, CM. Love the macro photo and I love daisies as well. Every time I go around and read other blogs I see so many flowers and designs that I would love to do. Only so much time. Love the containers with the perennials. Because you have gardened in many different climates, you have many tricks up your sleeves and you are using them all with great effectiveness.

I should do that more often but I there are always so many unfinished spots that seem to take away from the beauty of my plants. You are so sweet to have so many passalong plants for friends! Your clematis are so pretty.

So many times I've ordered a plant online after seeing a close up picture, only to realize later (poor research) that it's tiny, or very big, or something unexpected! Love the marguerite in the pot. Your pots are beautiful.

I prefer to see the less glamourous shot because it is more realistic and aspirable-to. (good thing you're science teacher not a grammar teacher!) What you said about your camera skills was very funny - my learning curve with cameras has been equally steep and rocky.
