Pick Me Up

QVCkitty1 — Tue, 19 May 2020 14:51:52 GMT

I needed a little pick me up , so this morning I ventured out to a local greenhouse. I got 2 beautiful hanging geraniums. This place makes beautiful arrangements and the guy said " here comes the geranium lady, " I replied that I've been called worse, 😆. The porch finally looks like spring .

I love that kind of geranium. I used to have, when I lived in an apartment with a landing and staircase on the outside (2nd floor) a totally potted garden that started on the landing and went down the stairway. The trailing geraniums were very popular with the hummingbirds!

I picked up some pretty multicolor lantana yesterday that I will be planting as soon as the rain stops.

Enjoy your pretty pots!

How nice for you. Red ones have been my fav for years. My pots are bare now so I moved them out of sight. Maybe next year.

@QVCkitty1 What a great idea. You've inspired me to do the same.

I recently purchased a hot pink hydrangea and set it out. I love my crepe myrtles, azaleas, lillies, snow ball bush and iris plants in my yard. As for indoors, I have a plastic thumb and can kill a cactus. Plants do prompt a smile for sure. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

My jumbo hearty Hibiscus from Philip (this is the set of 3 I purchased) have started their BIG growth. They really are as big as the pic...maybe even bigger! Third year from bare root and they are HUGE and BEAUTIFUL. They stop traffic! They don't look real! You can sit and actually watch them grow....highly recommended. Philip is my gardner guy!

@golding76 : Yes, flowers are giving me life! Finally warm enough to display them.

Buying my flowers in stages. Stage 1 was around Mother's Day. 3 large pre-planted pots and DS & DDIL gave me a beautiful, large hanging basket of petunias.

Stage 2 was last week: hanging baskets (including a geranium) for the shepherd's hooks outside my kitchen windows, shared with finch and hummingbird feeders.

Stage 3 will be later this week: flowers for the 4 planters on my deck.
