Mom's Mums

Back in Nov. while at Mom's we ended up with freeze warnings, so we covered many plants and lots of these didn't really need it, but I wanted to cut some just in case.
These were in a vase on her table for the rest of my visit, they lasted so long .
.By the way the ones outside were still looking great after the freeze.

Signs Of Spring For 2011

I can't remember what these are called, I have them in this pink, red, orange and yellow, so far just the pink and red ones have come back .

Almost all plants in this red pottery display lived through the freeze of December , I will be adding new ones later.

This white bush was from a cutting my sister gave me from Live Oak we call it the snowball bush .

I did not think it would make it but started blooming a couple days ago.

Grass! Not alot of the good stuff yet , we need more rain ,there is alot of green in the yard but mostly weeds !

This is looking across the pasture from my house you can see some bright green trees, finally spring is here !

Cows looking for grass, there is a slight showing of green there by the road.
So time for me to get outside and work in the flower beds, maybe next week, I still have to finish the room.

A Neighbors Delight!!

My Husband is a very popular resident of our small community. Well he and a few others alway gather together in the evenings to talk and check out the neighborhood .They also keep a watch out for crime (Crime Watchers) .Ok, so one of his friends is a gardener, my husband took me to his green house over the weekend and this is what he had in there !! The first one (purple) is a favorite of most . 

I Love this one too , the color is a pretty tone of green.

This one has like pink and dusty rose in it .

They get smaller as we scroll down and all are different .

Very Dark purple

Tiny yellow

This one the flowers are not much bigger than a quarter.

And this one is very popular also , it looks just like one my son gave me for mothers day.

I saw one last year at this man's house that was bigger than the first one and it was a beautiful green with purple in the middle . I was looking for it,  however I think he lost it in the freeze we had last winter .

I did not think to ask him the name of each flower but to me an Orchid is and Orchid !

Orchids for Mother's Day

Happy Mothers day to All of you Quilters , Artist and Crafters, hope you all have a wonderful day .
