Shhh!! Don't tell them!

My flowers think it's spring. It's funny because we have actually had one of the coldest winters here in Florida. It dipped down into the 20's a few nights this year which is unusual, at least for this east coast town. But through it all these particular flowers have been a constant joy in my day. I could just look outside and it's like they are smiling at me. For those of you who don't know. I love flowers! They bring me such joy and to have some that just continue to bloom no matter what the weather, has been a great find. What kind of flowers are they? They are my geraniums. I have 4 of them in different colors, although two of them are very similar. They have just blown me away with their ability to bloom all year round. For their reward I'm going to Wal-mart to buy them some yummy fertilizer.

I just thought I'd share a few pictures of my pretty flowers. I know a lot of you can't even see your ground yet so maybe this will give you a glimpse of what's to come soon.
I really really like this one. It's my favorite. I love all the pink hues.

The next two are very similar but I think this one is a bit more red and the one beneath is more pinkish.This little guy below is actually on a huge Citronella Geranium. They are supposed to ward of mosquitoes. I'll believe it when I see it . We planted this last year after mosquito season. Yes we actually have a mosquito season and it lasts a LONG time. So I hope these wonderful plants help.
I've saved the best for last. This little guy has brought me so much pleasure. I know you will feel it too when you see it. It's like nothing you've ever seen.Doesn't it just warm your heart? LOL! I just wanted to make sure that you knew that not EVERY flower made it through the winter looking like a prize winner. I think I need some product for that one! Ha! Ha!
Not pictured are our 4 hibiscus's that also produced all year long. We have yellow, peach and red in those and they are beautiful as well.
So if you've ever tried to plant flowers and failed give geraniums a try. If I can keep them alive (with little to no effort), I know you can.
In a month or two I'll make my short trek to Wal-Mart to buy my spring crop! I can't wait. I love walking through the garden section with all the different varieties. Does anyone else enjoy flowers as much as me? My husband knows my love for flowers and he has given me either a dozen roses or a bunch of wildflowers every month since we've been married. He buys them off a vendor on the side of the road and it's been the same guy for 13 years so he cuts him quite a deal. So I suggest supporting your local side of the road flower vendor. They have great prices and the flowers are beautiful. They last about two weeks, so each month I have fresh flowers for at least two weeks of it. That was a small plug for my most excellent husband and our local flower vendor LOL. I don't talk near enough about him (my husband not the vendor). But he is wonderful!!
Big Hugs everyone!!!
