This is one of my perennial beds.
I wish I had taken a photo of my gladiolas while they were in bloom. They were spectacular. I really had some vibrant colors this year.
I love the look fresh cut flowers in my home and we keep several cutting beds and flowering shrubs to be able to dress a table or cozy up a nook at a moments notice.
PURPLE SAGE
I also like the pleasure that having fresh flowers and growing my own herbs give me . I love to place gardenia or sweet olive by an open window so the breeze can carry it through our home. To spritz my linen with my home made Lavender water. Not only does it have a fresh scent but it aids your sleep. I also like to use my sage such as you see pictured and make vinegars, rinses etc. and place the bloom in side the bottle. It is nice having flowers and herbs around so it is pleasing to the senses. It all makes for a comfortable home.
