Spring Flowers



Today I finished planting my flowers. Nothing makes me smile more in the summer than seeing all the bright colors of flowers everywhere. When we moved into this house, there were flowers already planted in the front flower bed that came up in the spring. Also that first year, my husband accidentally killed them with the exception of a small patch on the end of the flower bed. After that, I have always planted annuals because I could never quite decide on the colors. This year, I just bought whatever looked different or that I had never planted before. None of them match but I think that is the best part. The flowers above are my favorite, I love how they have two or three different colors at any one time. and they grow tall too. Also I planted:


 These are the pink version of the ones above.

 These pink beauties were actually planted 2 years ago and just popped back up.


 I always wanted to plant these but never did...


 I wanted to add some purple.


 This is my hanging basket. I love the scent of them!


These black beauties are in the back yard, I have never seen a black flower before. The top is called "Phantom" with a thick yellow stripe, and the bottom is called "Pinstripe" for the purple pinstripe on it. I also planted a solid black version as well. These are the most unusual find, but so pretty. 

And to finish it all, the stepping stone that my 3 year old made!
