Pretty Flower Beds


I snapped a few photos of the pretty flower beds when we were out "yard saling".   I am always on the lookout for flower bed ideas.
I love the look of greenery bushes as a background in this flower bed.    I tend to just plant flowers...what about some greenery!

Doesn't the decorative edging add another element to this flower bed....

I loved this drive way edged with wildflowers.   

A single red rose bush....what a statement!

I think pink roses are my favorite flower....

Isn't this raised stone flower bed pretty.   Mostly purple flowers with pops of color  ......

I like the addition of flower pots to this front porch

The wild flower beds are probably my favorite

Greenery bushes in the front of the flower bed this time.....

I wanted to show you some of our native plants.  We don't get a lot of rain in our area and these are very drought resistant plants.

Our state flower is the Yucca.   It is a cactus at the bottom.....

but has a beautiful cluster of white blooms at the top.

We have big fields of these Yucca's here in eastern New Mexico.


Very simple flower bed....greenery bushes and two pink rose bushes.


I hope you were able to get a few ideas for your flower beds from the lovely homes that I took pictures of.
 Happy Planting!

  1. Lots of ideas here! It's always so interesting to see how people landscape in different parts of the continent. Up here on Bancouver Island we have to allow for rain all wi tee and drought through the summer. I like the pits along the porch!

  18. I love driving the back roads where ever I go and looking at the beautiful flower beds. Even do it while on vacation. You've shared some pretty ones. I had a Yucca plant at my previous home. My mother brought some home from AZ years ago and we got starts from hers. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
