Finally, Flower Planting Time

My first plant purchase this year - a great flat of sweet allysum that I love and use a lot of. Then I stopped at another of my favorite nurseries and bought two lovely hanging baskets - this pretty lobelia
and I think this is verbena in a sweet soft pink. Love pink and blue flowers!!

Then I looked for the pretty fancy leaf begonias that I had last year on the front stoop. There were several different ones but not the same one. However, don't you think this is a gorgeous substitution?

In with it I am going to put this lovely lacey plant and some white double impatients and allysum.Today I bought a flat of fibrous begonias - those have been a mainstay with me for a long time. They bloom and bloom and are so pretty. They even like the sun. Next I found these lovely geraniums that are kind of like ivy geraniums. The tag says they are semi trailing. They certainly caught my eye and they are gorgeous plants so they came to live on my patio, also.
Below are more geraniums and a glimpse of the double white impatients.
Tomorrow I will stop at two or three more places, see what I can't live without and start planting my containers. I think many of the quilters are also lovers of gardening! Kind of goes together.
