Happy Easter

I had a little garden love fest this Afternoon.  As I stepped out into the entry way garden,  the birds were tweeting up a storm and it smelled springy.  Super happy with how the plantings of bulbs last November have materialized into a lovely garden palette of lavenders, yellows and blue.  Thank you, Margot for your donation of hyacinth bulbs.  They have poked up through the tulips.

Besides the tulips, there are also yellow and deep purple pansies in pots.  In the middle you can see more of the same tulips poking out and not yet ready to bloom.

Did you notice the Foxglove in the black container?  Seems a little out place right?  Foxgloves don't naturally appear in the cool temps of April.  Like the strawberries from yesterday, my eyes wandered to that giant rack of blooming perennials at the big box store.  It's so easy to go there.  The container also has Rebecca Violas nestled in the bottom.  Hands down, delicate violas are one of my most favorite and a long-lasting flower of spring.  They smell pretty, too.

Actually, it's not really a container garden, but more a container arrangement.  Some folks like the flowers in vases, but I like mine in the dirt.  

Best wishes for a beautiful Easter and happy spring Sunday.
