I thought I'd take a break from babies and talk about flowers! After all the rain we get here from late fall through spring, I really look forward to some of my flowers blooming. I'm not a gardener - Mark does all the yard work but I sure enjoy the benefits. I tend to lean towards pink and purple flowers, even though those aren't my favorite colors. Good thing Mark adds some variety. He always gets a color mix of annuals every year.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorite perennials that we have in our yard.
I remember the first time I saw a rhododendron after we moved here. I didn't know what it was but I thought it had the most beautiful flowers. We also have orange, white and light pink ones.
My pink Peony - I loved seeing one of these plants on my walks in our old neighborhood and had to get one!
This is a picture of one of our lilac trees (bush?) taken last year. We have a few more purples and a white one in our backyard. Who can resist the smell of lilacs?Frankie we hate you.... haha (that was for Nanette)

Ok...that was funny. I always think of Frankie whenever I see lilacs. Maybe that is why you have so many? :D
Childhood memories...Was that in the Dallas? I bet mom and dad wouldn't even get it!! I'm glad we put good use to the primary songs we learned...the song leader would be so proud!!
Pretty pretty flowers! I bet your yard is just beautiful with all the colors:) My neighbor brought me over a start from her lilac tree a few years ago and I finally planted it in our backyard this year. I'm hoping to get some lilacs next year. They always remind me of my grandma:)
