I saved it!

I found these at the store, clingy to life.  So, I saved them.  ;)

Most people know that I am a scavenger.  I hate to throw out plants and it kills me that stores won't just give me the throw-aways.  I could totally make them come back if they would just give me a chance to have them. (There is an exception--I am horrible with roses...they are on their own if they make it to my garden.)

Anyhow, these next shots are of plants that I bought for less than $4--pots included.  I have lots of plants like this, when they bloom I will shoot a pic of them and share.  Anyway, my garden is happy right now.  That makes me feel good. 

But for now, I will focus on reviving the cast offs.  The seem happy enough in my garden.

Aren't they just lovely? These potted plants are typically $14-$19 at the local home improvement store.  I got them for a LOT less than that.  And here they are expressing their gratitude.    The impatiens in the background are also a rescue. I expect blooms soon. I wish I had before and afters of these things.  I will try to remember them next time.

Dusky Roses

Here are a couple shots of my roses at dusk tonight.  I am so in love with them for not dying on me.  I am especially in love with my pink one because she is about 10years old and manages to survive my terrible rose growing ability.  I love spring because spring loves me back.
