They come up totally on their own from the old oak tree that was removed last year. <br />I'm sure Spring is knocking at your door and I look forward to seeing what is blooming for you!

Columbine is Colorado's state flower, and ours are beginning to grow now but have a while till they bloom. Our temperatures are beginning to reach the 70's so everything is beginning to grow and bloom here, but we can still get night time snow until the end of May, so I wait to plant annuals.<br />Enjoy these beautiful days!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-87946581119654417922018-05-08T19:08:48.561-04:002018-05-08T19:08:48.561-04:00Spring is so welcome after the winter leaves, Jan....Spring is so welcome after the winter leaves, Jan.

I can imagine she really adored those sweet gifts and must think of them with love when she sees them! I'm excited for you and all the beauty that will be coming your way! I bet your magnolia is stunning.<br />I planted dusty miller, Victoria blue salvia and a red dahlia in each of my Mama's pots. I'm hoping for a fuller look in them this year. We'll see. It won't be long before your safe planting day comes.

While growing up, we gave our mom an azalea plant for the garden every year on Mother's Day. Such sweet memories! Your mama's pots have a lovely, new look. She would be so proud that you are taking such good care of them! Will you fill them with geraniums this year? <br /><br />Spring is finally tiptoeing into the Midwest. Our magnolia is in full bloom this week. We <br />also have a bit of color from tulips, daffodils, pulmonaria... and dandelions, of course. I'm looking forward to May 15th, our safe planting day. It always feels like a special holiday when we plant containers to enjoy on our front porch! It's delightful to walk through your garden together, my friend!��Dawn Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07565958992415114053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-53164916887560173812018-05-05T21:28:44.981-04:002018-05-05T21:28:44.981-04:00Sheri, azaleas are long lived shrubs.

I bought it a couple of months ago and I now love it! The lid was a little tight at first, but now works great. I'm a big tea drinker and use it quite often to make tea. <br />I hope you are enjoying Spring in your area. I've sure missed your posts, my friend. Your girls do write lovely posts. I'm sure you are really proud of them!

This flower is special, as I had a big bush of them in the front yard of my old house. Your red Azaleas are so pretty. You did a nice job on your Mama's pots. The Columbine is the most unusual flower, and very lovely. Martha Ellen, I have been looking all over for a black and white checkered tea pot. Can I ask you where you got that from? Your kitchen is so charming. The tea pot ornament is cute, and I love the brick in your kitchen.<br /><br />So glad Spring has arrived there, and enjoy all these flowers while you can. : )<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664100447631245881.post-89009043541594985992018-05-05T15:55:55.722-04:002018-05-05T15:55:55.722-04:00Thank you, Dotsie.
