Pansies For Spring and Fall


After all of the flowers I added to the flower
beds this Fall, my pen money for flower buying
was beyond gone.
But who could resist these Pansies that were
for sell at a tent at the Bob Evans Festival.
I picked up three new beauties to go with one
I had purchased in the Spring.

They may have snow flakes on their little heads
this weekend.



Delta Pure Rose







Matrix Sunrise















And one from the Majestic Giant strand.





I learned to love these delicate looking but strong
bloomers this Spring.
They love the cool weather and tend to slow down or
stop blooming in the heat and hot sun of mid Summer.
This one was planted in the Spring and is
getting some new blooms from a couple of the plants
that were left alone and from where it reseeded.









Happy Autumn Gardening Everyone!

March Garden Bloom Day



Today is the 15th and another Garden Bloggers Bloom Day
rolls around. The month is going by swiftly into Spring.
Just five days now till Spring officially arrives.
Here it will still be three more snows after the forsythia
blooms.
Nothing is blooming outdoors yet but the Heath
that I posted a few days ago.
So it will have to be blooms from indoors that carry
the day.



Yes, my Orchid is still alive and blooming. Are you as
surprised as I am. Keep growing baby! :-)




My African Violet is loaded once again with blooms of sugar.



The Gloxinia's leaves are dying back but it has one bloom
left on it before it goes dormant for a while. It is so pretty and
velvety.



I am awaiting my Anthurium to change colors. She has a
new pot now and she will not be too cramped. She was
so root bound when I got her.




And the petunia "Stary Eye" that was brought in to over
winter is trying to bloom now.
She is a little pale but still
pretty.

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day is sponsored by Carol at

is blooming right now in your garden or indoors on the
