Click here to see some of my favorite flowers and the reasons why!
Flowers can literally take your breath away with their beauty. They are the most appealing and inspirational element of your landscape. So much so that with everything I plan in my own landscape, they come first! Sharing my garden is more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. There are joggers who come by every day to enjoy it, people drive by and stop to compliment me on my efforts or to ask questions, and I even have a few neighbors who have told me I'm getting them in trouble with their wives because they want their husbands to build a garden island for them,too! I have lots of visits from area wild-life as well. I live across from a lake and have a tree with a bed of English Ivy and a bench where every year a mallard duck mother uses it as a nesting place! And the greatest compliment of all? There are grandmothers who come by every day walking their grandchildren who ask to come into my yard to show the children all the many plants and trees, or maybe the ducks when they're nesting there. To know it brings others that much pleasure makes it all worthwhile!
