Flower Power

I finally got some flowers planted in my pots last night.  This year I had to replace all the soil that was still in them, so the process took a little longer than it usually does.   I also usually put either impatiens or geraniums in these pots every year, but I decided to plant Angel Wing Begonias this year.  My SIL plants them every year and they get huge.  So I thought I would give it a try.  I also managed to plant some coleus (did I spell that right?) in with my shrubs and holly trees.  They do pretty good there in the shade as long as the neighbors dogs stay out of them.  I still have more flowers to plant - but that will have to wait for another day. :-)

I also have some peonies that I just love.  Every year I wonder if they are going to come back.  They did!!!!  And I had the first bloom over the week-end.  For some reason the bigger of the two bushes has few blooms every year than the little one.  Here is a pic of the first bloom.  

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.  We just about froze here in Kentucky.  But it was nice to spend the entire week-end with my girl.  I loved on her a lot :-)
