So ready to see these plants in bloom once again....

I am so ready for SPRINGTIME! It has been a long, cold, windy winter and I yearn for warmer weather, don't you?

Today is a beautiful, warm day...my two youngest grandsons, John, age 7 and Alexander, age almost five, and I picked up limbs and debris from around the yard. Then we had lemonade. Alexander wanted a slice of lemon on the edge of the glass...he's seen this in pictures. We discussed tatooes, handsome snakes, Loch Ness Monster, beer and other interesting subjects that tiptoe across young grandson's minds....our favorite memories of our family beach trips together.

These are a few pictures of flowers that I look forward to seeing bloom again in the not too far distant future:


The walk way to the back yard......

Edge of one of two urns as you enter the walkway.....


Daylily with gold picotee edging....



Hollyhocks are one of my most favorite flowers.....



Yarrow....blurred picture....


Geranium, Lobelia and Bacopia.....



Blackwatch Hollyhock.....I bought these heirloom seed years ago when we visited Middleton Plantation plant shop out from Charleston.



New Dawn roses on an arbor....Eden Roses are on the opposite side... both are prolific

bloomers.


Do you have favorite flowers in your garden?
