Spring Fever

Once the calendar says spring is here, I get antsy to work out in the garden. I have spent a bit of time seeking inspiration in the wee hours each morning before going to work.

Love these giant tropical containers!

 
I love alliums and thought this grass combination was unique.

Just 3 alliums in each container really bring this planting to life.Pinned Image


Wouldn't you love to stroll this path on a warm spring day?

I know many of you are already able to begin your 2013 season. For me, it will be at least another six to seven weeks before I can plant anything.  All I can do now is ogle the gorgeous pics I find on the net.

    Those first containers are gorgeous. Of course anything with Allium in it is beautiful. I assume you are suppose to get the snow storm Sunday. They are saying maybe 8 inches for us now.

    Yes,we have to go looking to find some color this time of the year when winter wants to hang on.
    Those Allium's are so pretty. Mine never seems to look that beautiful in my beds somehow. Maybe I need more to make them look better. Are you buying that excuse to buy more? LOL! Have a lovely weekend and I hope you do not get much more snow up that way.

    Hello Zoey, I love the alliums and the stipa together, what a combination. I have some friends who spray paint their alliums after they are done blooming and they look gorgeous all season long. They claim it doesn't hurt the bulb, so someday I'm going to give it a try.

    "alliums and the grass combination was unique."

    Definitely agree on this one. The grass perfectly compliments the flowers.
