April showers bring May Flowers. I suppose that is so true. Yesterday (writing this on Thurs, May 2nd) we were at Home Depot to buy some tubing or something. We chose to enter the store through the nursery because we are currently redoing our front yard. We removed most of the flowering plants and I was thinking I'd just start a cactus or a succulent garden. But these May flowers seem to cast doubt on my decision.
We shall see what my garden will look like once the project is done. For sure, we will simplify and be minimalist and succulents would be part of it.
OUR WORLD TUESDAY
Fabulous flowers, all very enjoyable images!
ReplyDeleteThat's alot of colour right there and I recognize most of the plants.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and in the āour former lifeā when we owned a home with a big yard, would have been tempting indeed. Now, I can walk through a garden store (or section) and admire, take pictures, and leave happy knowing I donāt have the work!
ReplyDeleteI lived in the Tucson desert for a decade, and I found cactus & succulents require just as much work as "regular " flowers & shrubs. Now, our yard in Texas has hibiscus & sub-tropical plants/shrubs. One trimming a season, and we're done. (Except lawn mowing) I'd go on a shopping spree with the likes of these.
ReplyDeleteCaptivating shots!
ReplyDeleteI can't resist buying plants when I visit a garden centre. That one certainly had a lot of chose.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos. I love browsing in flower centers this time of year! I spotted a pretty purple columbine flower--they grow wild here.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - it must have been almost intoxicating to be in the midst of all these lovely flowers! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2019/05/on-retreat-in-washington-dc.html
Glorious captures!
ReplyDeleteThe biggest bargain in town is that that nurseries along with Home Depot and other places that sell plants and flowers let you take photos for free!!
ReplyDeleteI love wandering around garden centers and looking at flowers. I felt an immediate surge of happiness just looking at your photos.
ReplyDeleteYour choices seem limitless! I would not know where to start.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - have fun. We're getting snow and low temperatures in the mid 20s the next couple of days!
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to walk by flowering plants and not bring some of them home. Beautiful photos! Hard to tell you were at a Home Depot, looks like a flower show. Have fun playing with your garden.
