A Little Bit of Springtime

A Little Bit of Springtime

Today I was cleaning up some branches after a harsh rain storm in the morning. The sun was out and it was lovely. I have two Bougainvillea bushes in pots. They belong to the four o' clock family. I love the plant but not a big fan since it has these killer thorns. I keep them in pots so they don't go crazy.  I thought I would bring in a couple of stems for the table.

A Very Interesting Rose

A Very Interesting Rose 

I have been growing roses here in Florida ever since I moved here fifteen years ago. The roses have been one of my favorite plants to grow since they have performed so well. When we moved to central Florida last year, I purchased 2 rose bushes to take with me. One is called Neal Diamond and it has these beautiful pinkish rose color roses.  See a picture of it below.

Vermont Summer Flowers

Lovely Vermont Summer Flowers

The one thing that I miss the most of summers in Vermont is the lovely summer flowers. We just don't have them in Florida. Here are some flower beds from my friend Joan.

Fall Flowers

Fall seems to be creeping in. Stores are decorated for Halloween and mums and pumpkins can be found in most stores. One of my flowers seems to be getting into the fall spirit as well.

Sending a little Spring!

I just wanted to send a little spring to all of you who are still dealing with the cold and snow. Spring is coming, although it probably doesn't seem that way right now with the ground covered in white. 

 We were at our other house this weekend, and the azaleas were blooming and they were so beautiful. I thought I would share a few pictures with you.

Surprised by Tiny Pink Wild Flowers

 Coming home from our house north of Orlando on Sunday, we stopped at a gas station to fill up and let the dogs out. Near the gas station was a rather large area of grass and there were these lovely tiny pink flowers all over the ground.

Camp Lilies

Many years ago, I saw these lilies at a golf course near our camp and wanted some for my garden here. So, with shovel in hand, I asked if I could dig some up.

I have no idea what they are called, but they are blooming all over the camp. Actually, they are not at their peak - starting to fade.

Dressing Up Grandma's Cutting Board

What a week I have had, the flu caught up with me and took me down. All I wanted to do was to crawl in bed and sleep. However, the dogs had other ideas. We spend a lot of time outdoors and they wanted to be outside. They were not sick.

When the dogs were little, I taught them to ring a bell, tied to the door handle, when they had to go to the bathroom. Well, that bell was ringing off the handle.  Every time I would lie down on the sofa, the bell would ring. After a few days, the bell came down.

I did manage to work on this cutting board that was my grandma-in-law's.

Got Seed?

Birds like to eat so why not make their feeders fun and whimsical. I am always looking for new ways to create bird feeders for my garden. I have been working on my side garden lately since it is right out side my window where I have my computer. You already saw my fountain in My Little Squirrel post, today I will show you my new bird feeders.  

This one is just a little whimsical. Wonder if the birds think so?

Pansies or Violets?

Pansies love spring weather. It seems other than the typical Easter flowers, pansies are the first plants to become available in early spring. They thrive in the cooler temperatures and I love having them in my garden.

Purple pansy bloom
The pansy is a group of large-flowered hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers. Pansies are derived from viola species Viola tricolor hybridized with other viola species. The common words "pansy" and "violet" are often used interchangeably.
