Beautiful Early Flowers




My two favorite months in the garden are May and June.  I absolutely love it when life returns to the yard and before the hot, hot summers take their toll on the flowers.

I planted my pots a little early this year.  The usual  safe date  to plant annuals here is Mother's Day.  I am a rebel (ok, not really) and planted things about 10 days before Mother's Day.  I did have to bring everything in to the garage one night,  but it was worth  it.  Now the pots are filling quickly.
 
These wave petunias are so pretty right out my back door.
 
 
I bought a galvanized watering can a few weeks ago.  It leaked, so didn't really work as a watering can, but it does work as a cute planter. 
 
 
I had another one that is painted light blue. I  think the cosmos look so cute in it too.
 
 
 
 
 
My peonies are ready to explode!  Every day I see more blooms.  They are such pretty flowers.
 
 
One of my clematis is blooming.  I love the pink color of these flowers.

 

 


 
 I love the look of flowers in galvanized buckets.
 

And in milk crates.  These wave petunias will be spilling over the sides in no time!
 
 
What are your favorite flowers?

Doing the Wave with Petunias

I'm so glad that someone figured out how to come up with Wave Petunias, because I love them!! 


I had some trouble finding them this year.  The planting date that everyone goes by here is Mother's Day.  We were going to be out of town right around there, so I waited until Memorial Day to buy them. Boy was I shocked that they were really hard to find!  Luckily they had just put some out that morning at my favorite nursery.  The colors were limited to purples and whites.  I would've preferred to have more pink flowers, but beggars can't be choosers, right?! 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I have them in pots on my driveway and on my back patio.  They are blooming like crazy and are just so much fun to look at!
 
 
 
Here's Bailey doing his wave!  "Hey, I just came in 20 seconds ago, but now I must go outside again!"  :)
 
 
 
 
What are your favorite flowers for pots?
 
 
 Thank you for your visit!
