On my return from my California trip I found my garden pretty wilted by the heat and lack of water while I was away. But there were still some blooms and I've made a couple mosaice for Mary's Mosaic Monday event.
The Stella d'Oro daylily and Rose of Sharon plants were given to me last June by a friend. The hydrangeas and impatiens were bought at area garden centers. This mosaic features hydrangeas. They are Endless Summer and were planted in 2008.
Be sure to visit Mary at Little Red House to see the mosaics prepared by other participants.

It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope— the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" Titus 2:13 NIV)

Welcome to Oak Rise Cottage, the Home of an Incurable Collector!
In this blog I will be sharing my ventures into the worlds of a collector with multiple enthusiasms. At Oak Rise Cottage there are collections such as items with pineapple motif, blue and white dishes and fabrics, tablesetting components, books in both regular and miniature editions, fruit motif items, Christmas holiday accessories, and so on...The pineapple evokes a hostess' love of sharing house and home with family and friends. Guests to Oak Rise Cottage share the collector's bounty -- based on my view that the house should express the personality and interests of the owner.

What a disappointment to find your flowers wilted but luckily you have hydrangeas and Stella d'oros that can withstand a lot of heat!
My hydrangeas are wilted too, but they seem to be the only flowers that spring back after a little water!
Thank goodness!

Great photo's. Hydrangeas, you just have to love them. They are never ending and very undemanding.
Pretty, pretty, pretty!
I envy you your endless summer blooms. I have not had one for two years.
Oh, gorgeous flowers make wonderful mosaics!
Be a sweetie,
