Anne Lamp Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 (edited) I am not sure what bush this is, but it was taken the end of April at my Church like a lot of my flower pictures are. Edited June 5 by Anne Lamp 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 On a visit to Warwick, I spotted these Queen of the Prairie flowers, and so I made a little layout using a Rachael Martin template. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Wow, I'm able to post! Here is a photo of a "Japanse Kornoelje" or Japanese Dogwood that is flowering in a garden around the corner where I live. It is a European cousin of the Mountain or Pacific Dogwood which I saw in Yosemite a couple of weeks ago. Most of our spring flowering trees or bushes like the magnolia, cherry, apple and pear are over now and the rhododendrons have suffered from all the rain we got. I didn't have had the time to make a layout with this photo, I'm just glad my pc is up and running again. The problems started when we got a lot of updates from different sources almost at once. Our Network provider installed a new connection point, then we got a modem update, a windows update, an update for the drivers of the pc. My pc is an Acer and that got an update as well. Somehow there went something wrong, but I think and hope that everything here is up and running again! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corrie, your experience with your pc sort of mirrors our problems here with the Campus and, additionally, when on the internet today, every one of my usual sites is asking for credentials and additional third factor ID. It is annoying, to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm seeing what I can get back in the form as downloads from previous posts for the P52 and AAM challenges. It will be small 600.jpgs but at least I know what I made for the first 14 weeks. The rest of the file where I had all the results from all the workshops is lost! But to my immens relieve the rest of all my supplies, including everything I bought over the years is fine, as well as all of the monthly challenges. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassel Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 I know I might sound like a broken record, but online backup can be a life-saver. I can't imagine how i would do if I lost everything about the Campus, the store, and all my supplies and photos. That peace of mind is definitely worth that $100/year. I wrote about it in here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Yah I know, but I have a separate SSD (solid state drive) for all my scrapbook supplies and a 2nd SSD as backup. The best part of my photos is in the iCloud as well as on the pc. Only PSP itself is on my C-drive. I'll have to think about an online backup; you on the other hand run the campus and the store, so that's something on a much bigger scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that bridalwreath spirea by any chance? Those bushes are always covered in small white flowers.

I really like them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a plant I'm familiar with. Our soil wouldn't allow it to thrive I don't think. But it is so pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Magerka Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 More flower pictures from my garden. May & June are the best months (here) for fresh-looking plants. By July, it's all starting to look a bit tired and dry. And by then, I'm tired of pulling the same weeds over and over. I used a layout from Katie Pertiet's site as a scraplift. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley; where are you located? Just wondering if the flowers would be similar there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Solaas Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) Since this is about our current gardens, I'll repost my pictures of the flowers in our gardens in May. Three of our azalea bushes are pictured: the white, rose and pink which are in our back and side gardens. Edited June 9 by Mary Solaas 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic was fro a couple of years ago and at that angle it didn't click what it was. I have been taking pictures of those bushes for years, but not usually from that angle. Just a senior moment I guess. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona cook Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Foxgloves have appeared everywhere in our garden but I have not planted them. It must be the birds dropping seeds and then the seeds come up year after year. I let them do their thing. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiona cook Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 My friend bought me a twizzel decoration for the garden and I liked the way its shape and colour mirrored the alliums that I have growing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 You have lovely tall alliums and I always like that purple color. We had those in our old house as well and white ones too, but I like the purple better. Do you keep the dried seedheads for decoration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
