A Cozy Corner and some New Posies

Hi Y'All, Yep, I am a Southern Girl, so I just had to make a nice cozy corner where I could sit on hot days and drink lemonade and read "Gone with the Wind". These old wicker chairs have got some fresh pillows to brighten them up and I added a little potted cyclamen to pick up the red color in the pillows. Would you like to join me for some ice cold lemonade? I went to the Garden Center the other day and bought a new rose called Knock Out. It is supposed to resist the heat admirably and bloom constantly. I hope it will. They seem to be new here, so we will see.












I got a tropical foliage plant, too, for the back porch to pot in a larger pot.














Here is a close up of the cyclamen which I will have to re pot, too. I'm trying to get some pretty plants for my porch and make it more inviting. I have a shelf I am going to bring out there and fill with plants. Ever since doing the stove make over, I have been interested in doing more with the porch!
As I do things there, I will post and show you, so keep looking.





Have a creative day!

  1. Your porch chairs look very inviting and I like your pretty cushion covers. The new rose looks lovely. I wish I could get my roses looking better. Is it getting hot in Florida. We're having a bit of a heat wave at the minute (about 70F in the day).

  2. Your reading/relaxing area looks so cozy! You will adore the Knock Out Rose..I have two Double Knock Outs reddish pink and a Single Yellow...all I do is cut them back on Valentine's Day. Your Croton is pretty and I love Cyclamen...
