Pretty Purple Pansies

Hello!

Spring has finally sprung here in Boise as tiny grape hyacinths and pretty pink tulips push through the cold, hard dirt. The first warm day sends us flocking to the local Home Improvement Store where we browse dreamily through the garden department-drooling over row after row of flowers and vegetables!

I spent a relaxing Sunday in my garden cleaning up the front bed and planting a few pretty purple pansies in urns and pots. Here's a few pics to brighten your day!

Strawberries start to green and spread beneath the Eiffel tower.

The Hollyhocks that will grow tall as the house by mid-June are now only a few inches tall.

The weathered arbor with its twinkling garden lights and Trumpet Creeper vine (that will bear beautiful orange blooms for the hummingbirds) beacons you up the walk for a visit.

Wish you were here!

So inviting!!! I love your yard, it is so beautiful. I am not very good with plants, other then killing them!! We are finally getting some nice weather here in Fort Collins, so I can't wait to see all the colors of spring and summer.
