Mad Gardening Skills

Yes, I have them. Ha, just the thought makes me laugh at myself. I typically kill everything. Typically because I am a lazy gardener. I like having flowers and such I just don't like taking care of them. I am busy. Anyway, this year I have lots of flowers in the ground and in planters that have miraculously survived! I have tended to them a little better and they have responded in kind.

Particularly this beauty. The Mandevilla. A plant I would never have known about if not for my mother. This was was acquired at home depot and unlike a lot of "sun hearty" plants it truly LOVES sun and doesn't hold it against you if you water it say maybe just 2 times a week.
