My mom gave me a bag of lily bulbs from Aldi for my birthday, and since they were cheap, we weren’t sure if they’d do much of anything. They’ve been slowly growing for a couple of months with just a few small leaves, and then within the last few days huge buds formed on a couple of the plants. And then all of a sudden … this gorgeous flower appeared! Maybe I’m on my way to having a green thumb?
Ok, this is my final photo from Powell Gardens. This is a view of the “garden quilt,” taken from the top of a silo. Check out the rest of the series below.
Name That Place
Waterfall Garden
Kermit the Frog
Monet’s Pond
‘Round and ‘Round
Busy Bee
This beautiful scene reminds me of something Monet would have enjoyed painting – minus the water lilies of course. (Those were in my photo from Wednesday.)
Question: Does anyone know what the little pink flowers are in the foreground? They remind me of poppies, but I thought they were red.
Why, hello little guy!
If you took a guess at yesterday’s photo, the correct answer is the Chapel at Powell Gardens just outside of Kansas City. Powell Gardens is home to this chapel, several types of flower gardens, fountains and water gardens, vegetable gardens, trails, and so much more. It’s such a beautiful place to visit that I’ve got about a week’s worth of photos to show you!
I love this bright, beautiful (and interactive!) flower growing in my garden. Do you know what kind of flower it is?
In case you missed the others this season….
The petunias in my back yard are booming right now … or blooming like crazy … however you want to say it. They’re gorgeous. I wish the ones out front were doing as well. Either they need more sun or they like to be close together. Anyone know the trick?
One of the benefits of our new house is the beautiful walking trail and creek right behind our house. Who knew Missouri could be this pretty?
Ah, the epitome of spring. This is one of my favorite photos from this season so far … can you name the flower?
I’m thoroughly enjoying the bright sunny skies and warm temperatures. Yesterday I went for a run through several neighborhoods near my home, and I got to enjoy the scenery with everyone’s flowers and trees blossoming. (Side note: I’m not looking forward to temps plummeting into the 30s later this week.)
