Flowers

Mother's Day has come and gone... but my clematis is still blooming. Rod bought one for me for my very first Mother's Day after Chad was born. We moved it out with us to the country (in the middle of December!) ... and added another. Now you can't tell where one stops and the other begins! It's blooming and growing. Looks great!!! (That cool black thing is my bird feeder.)


These are some of the plants I got this year. Rod planted them at the bottom of the flower hill. So far, so good!

I love blanket flower!!!

This is on the front porch. I cobbled that bench together... probably 12 or 13 years ago! A Christmas cactus. Love the gnome with the lime green hat!

The plant at the bottom is a gardenia. My friend, Merrilee, sent it to me. It looked wonderful and smelled wonderful too! Unfortunately, it didn't like the dry house in a cold Nebraska spring! It's lost more than half its leaves. It is liking being outdoors now that it has warmed up. Merrilee lives in American Samoa. She said they just keep them outside on their patios!

Hope your weekend is going great!
