In the Pink

It's the 1st day of Spring!
I thought that you might enjoy a taste of what's to come.
These are photos from my garden a few years back.

 Hydrangeas are my favorite!

It was the 1st year that we grew some green zinnias.
They looked so pretty with the pinks.

Clematis are fragile, but once established, they come back every year!
 

Of course, morning glories are super easy to grow!

Petunias in pink
Looks like we are having an early spring this year.
It's been raining tons since yesterday.
Things will need to dry out a bit before anything gets planted.
Hope to have some fresh new floral pics in the months to come!

Happy Spring!
