Last night our family went to my Mom and Dad's house for Sunday dinner. My Mom is a very talented gardener. She has a lot of different flowers that I do not have here at Spruce Hill. Lucky for me I had my camera with me! I spent the first 20 minutes or so when we got there taking pictures before the clouds returned. The sun was not out much, but enough to get some pretty shots.
The flowers in My Mom's garden are always bigger, brighter and healthier then the flowers in my garden. I am not sure what her secret is but she is doing something I am not.
Since it is such a rainy yucky day here on Spruce Hill. I thought I would share a bit of bright color and sunshine with you!
I would also like to send these flowers all the way to California to my friend Mary W. and her Mom BL. Hope they brighten up your day! I hope you are back on your feet soon!
Thanks for the photos, lovely shots, I am waiting for more warm days and some new plants to try.

Wow, your Mom is certainly a talented gardener. Am now experiencing serious flower envy!

Beautiful shots, the colours are so nice.
I hope the weather improves for you. We have had a few horrible days here lately but today it has been really sunny and warm.
I love this time of year, all the flowers are starting to shoot and Summer is on the way.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Holly & Zac are pretty good at posing. They probably think just get on with it so we can get back to playing..hehe

I have been on the hunt for flower photos for me to frame and hang in my extra bathroom. Any way possible that you would email me 4-6 flower photos for me? Let me know if I can trade or barter something. Did I mention that my mother is Drivin 55! Let me know. Thanks Erika

Those color combinations are great together! Just beautiful. The blue really pops with the pink.

I'm just getting back to your blog, my favorite source of inspiration and saw that this was dedicated to me and mom. I love the flowers and I know my mom misses her garden. We are just staying hopeful here for a full and complete recovery. I'm gonna insist on an invite to spruce hill this june when I'm back in Bel Air. Can I come by and just sit in your garden with you. It will be magic. You can meet Peter and the princess.
