Easter Bunny Flowers

22.05.12

Put on your sunglasses, Mother Nature is bringing out her brightest colors to WOW us! Everywhere you look there are daffodils popping out of the ground. Bulbs are my all time favorite thing to plant, all you do is dig, drop and then every spring when you think the "cool drearies" are gonna get you... the crocus pop up. Then the jonquil, hyacinth and tulips join in until the whole yard looks like the Easter Bunny made a visit and brought YOU surprises! We are a full month or more ahead of a "normal spring," but winter may not be finished with us yet. I am tempted to put out tender annuals every year and then freezing temperatures kill them. As long as you stick with pansies, dianthus, snapdragons and any of the "cole crops" like ornamental cabbage or kale, you won't be disappointed.

I planted pansies in the big planters on the front porch last week. A flat of them is perfect to fill the pots. They are so pretty with their sweet faces in shades of rich purple, lavender and yellow... just like an Easter Basket!
