We have this wonderful lawn and garden shop right at the bottom of the hill at school called Holcomb Nursery. I had been meaning to stop for about the last two weeks of school to get my flowers. However, when the end of the day would come I would be exhausted and would drive on past. So last Saturday after I got my hair done, I stopped and had a wonderful time exploring. There is a lady named Susie who always helps me with fabulous ideas. She had me running all over the place putting colors and different arrangements together. I felt like I had a personal shopper at my disposal!Anyway here are the things we came up with. You can see the porch on my side bar with the arrangements and hanging baskets. Just like any good fashion designer Susie taught me about combining colors and textures. She made me laugh as she reminded me that everything around the exterior of the house had to "go together." It sounded just like my friends at Talbots helping to coordinate an outfit! Everything must contribute to the "all- around" look! Anyway, I have had fun.
These Vincas are on the side of the house and have sun all day!!
This is a rosebush that the Mosley's who we bought our house from planted.
It is just starting to produced flowers!
These were some leftovers that I put in pots at the bottom of the rose bush in the back.

I love your flowers, Sweetie! What a treat to have your personal "Flower Picker-outer"! I'm so glad you are back to blogging now that school is out! Love you so much, Mom XXOO
Your flowers look great - would you come and do mine? I haven't had a chance to do any potted or hanging plants yet. We do have lots of roses, lilies, and other flowers in our landscaping though. I guess that I'll try some pictures. Anyway, it was fun to see your pretty porch and the rooms in your house. NICE!
Your flowers are gorgeous!! I wish I had a green thumb. Warren does, but I struggle with plants that you have to water :) I start out really well, but then I forget :) oh well, they look pretty good for a few weeks. Thanks for sharing you flowers with us!!
