#TheWateringHole Good afternoon and Happy Saturday! It was a hellacious week at work, but today I’ve enjoyed tending plants, bird feeders, birdbath, hummingbird feeder, and a good walk around the neighborhood. When I got back from my walk, I snapped a few pics of our outdoor blooms. The flowering pots were bought last Sunday at Walmart and Home Depot so we can’t take any credit for those. God has provided plenty of water so we haven’t had to bother with that.
I had to run out to Walmart from work on Monday to pick up something for a patient. I took a swing through the garden center to see if the pothos I had eyed the previous week was still there. I had been suffering from “will power remorse”. It was still there and still the only one of that particular one they had. Meet Albert, my Albo Pothos. Now, I really have to start excercising some will power!!
Show us what’s happening at your watering hole this weekend!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Black-eyed Susans. They’re just so gorgeous 😍 I don’t have any in my garden this year, and it feels like a mistake lol. I might toss some seeds down and let them do their thing. These are some from a couple summers ago!

What beautiful flowers
💐 😍 💖
Hi Albert!
@RefinedSandwort Your pots are beautiful Joy! And oh my goodness, Albert is clearly aware of how lucky he is to have chosen you 😍🍀
@BabeVila Those are gorgeous! You’ll definitely have to try that again. My husband was looking for coneflowers, but neither Walmart or Home Depot had them. I was pleased when he rolled the cart up with 2 pots of the Blackeyed Susans. I’ve always loved them.
@CutePolypremum Thank you!
@debbiedo Thank you! Hope I can keep Albert happy!
Gorgeous love Albert
I’m terrible with outdoor flowers, but so grateful to those who excel with them! Today, I’m loving the various states of bloom on my orchids, and really excited that my inner variegated polyneura threw off its first pair of variegated leaves after scaring me with a pair of non-variegated as its first set!
@Shewolf5 thank you!
@MamaLinne those are gorgeous!! I have had no success with orchids.
@RefinedSandwort ur welcome 😊
@RefinedSandwort it’s been a work in progress! I’ve had all of these guys for years and this is the first time they’ve bloomed in probably 2+ years after consistent watering, sun, and humidity!
@BabeVila OMG! I love them too and am looking forward to mine blooming at the end of the summer as they do every year. They are perennials and are totally worth waiting for, after the other summer flowers have bloomed. I have everything planted this year and love watching them grow and weeding and so on as needed all summer. Plus eating the tomatoes 🍅 when ready!! By the way I retired at the end of Feb. and am totally enjoying planting and growing more than ever this spring!!
Wow my cactus is growing well i wish people can seenhow tall it is
@BabeVila Gorgeous Back-Eyed Susans, Shannon! We planted our first ones last year and it’s looks like they’re coming back up 🙌 I love the pop of bright yellow they add 😍
@MamaLinne Your orchid blooms are STUNNING Deb! I’ve got one orchid and it’s getting close to blooming (the first successful rebloom for me, so yay 🙌).

And UGH now I desperately need a variegated Polyneura! 🫠🤤😳😍
@AC73LoveCats Congratulations on your first summer of retirement! I’d imagine that gardening is more relaxing than ever! 🤞🏻❤️🌱
@HotGray85 Please share a picture of your cactus Ethan, we’d love to celebrate it with you!
Those plants are beautiful!! You must be taking good care of them
And i will
