Today Rhoda has graced me with an opportunity to share my enchanted summer garden with you and I could not be happier to meet each one of you. My name is Karen Marie and my blog is Dragonfly & Lily Pads. I hope you enjoy a leisurely stroll around my garden in Michigan.
Since the lake is a place to re-charge I planned the garden with that in mind. Perennials fill the garden splashing color at different times through the yard.
Blue is my favorite color is blue in any shade. I plant one flat of Spirea because it blooms throughout the summer and well into the fall.

What a beautiful garden. My hubby is from MI, and his sweet mom has a home on Lake Huron.

Lauren,
Thank you so much. I am learning about the Mitten State. The people have been so nice to us. We have lived there 4 1/2 years. It is a beautiful place even in the winter. Rhoda your readers are so kind to me as a guest blogger.
I am honored,
Karen Marie

Balloon flower is it’s common name. I can’t think of (or pronounce) the real name (platy something or other LOL). I don’t see salvia in your pics?
Karen Marie Kedzuch says
Renee,
Who knew I called the flower its common name? The blue salvia are the fourth picture down. The Blue definitely look different than other colors. Thank you for your help with the balloon flower.
Have a great day,
Karen Marie
