More Flowers......

       Hanging plants at Horton's for 22 dollars. This came with little packet of  plant food too.  I  just went with the same color as the pansies I bought on Tuesday.
  An eight pack of proven winners for 36 dollars. . This is pricey for me. But I want to trade with the Horton family business. Proven winners , they should be very hardy.  So it's yellows, oranges, purples, and burgundy colors. I must say that larger petunia looks hot pink.  I still have my paints out to make a painted garden snake. :):)
   This was Saturday evening's sunset. Yesterday was very warm , no need for jackets or sweaters. People were wearing shorts. All those pale legs.  Where are my sunglasses.  LOL. 
    I am not putting this new bunch of flowers in containers yet....I think I will wait for a week. It's to get  a bit cooler again. I sure do not want to rush these and lose them.  I tell Ted, see this is why I need a tiny green house. :):)
   Wishing all of you a great day. Think of a good memory and smile. XO

  6. Your flowers are so pretty. I can't wait to get mine, but I think I'll wait a week or so. It's supposed to get down to 40 tonight and be much cooler the next few days. Have a nice week!

    1. Debbie, After I watched the weather forecast for this coming week...I am not planting my petunias just yet..chance of frost on Thursday& Friday...so I can wait for a week. I think I am overly anxious for the sweet part of spring. Hope you are doing well. Getting out for fresh air. I think about you kayaking near your home. That just sounds like such fun. Blessings to you my dear friend, love, susie

  8. Yup rain here as well (Monday) and cool. Not as in hip but as in not warm. There were some people in shorts yesterday. Today probably not.
    I know little about gardening but do like your flower choices.

  9. Beautiful flowers Susie and i do not blame you for waiting. We've had a week's worth of rain here and the ground is so soggy we can't put anything in it and like you I'm worried they'll get frost bit or frozen. Hugs, xo

  10. Hi Susie, I love the flowers and our nursery's are starting to have some in as well, but given that we can get snow and frost until late May I try to wait. Since we will be gone for two weeks in Ireland, I'll probably wait to spend the money when we get back. Have a great week.
    Hugs, Noreen

    1. Missy, I am keeping my plants where I can cover them in case of frost. It was forecasted for Thursday and Friday. So I guess it won't hurt me to wait another week. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  12. How beautiful! It's so exciting to see all the spring plants. I usually get to the greenhouses after everything's picked over. Plants seem expensive, but they do bring cheer and beauty until a hard frost in the fall. What a beautiful sunset!

    1. Judy, I think it seems I had longed for spring more this year. It's been fickle too. Saturday's weather was heaven...then the forecast is for lows at night and frost at the end of this week. So I think I will just wait another week to put any more flowers out. Those pansies can take the cold. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  13. Oh Susie, I know I've told you this before, but your sunset pictures are just beautiful. The colors in the sky and the angles you take them are just right. Those flowers are gorgeous. I love the pink ones!
