Flora Pics---A Microcosm, if you will...

First 2 pics are DAHLIAS. I'd thought they were lost forever when snow fell before I could dig the bulbs for storage. They will not survive the winter here as I found out with another loss many years before. But I retrieved a few forgotten bulbs from the basement and put them in a pot this spring, and they bloomed----pretty flowers too. Pictures #3,4,5  represent my garden: a single squash from a seed from a squash given by R. Kinda small squash, but it grew. A Tomato plant that has borne fruit, and a mature Chive planting several years old. All are entwined in morning glories which are pretty in the morning. Pictures # 6, 7 are the Hydrangea my mother gave me long ago. Not quite as many "blooms" as last year, but still rather impressive. And last is the Faded Last Rose of Summer from Dorothy's rosebush.   Not much in the way of plantings, but I enjoy every minute of their appearance.
