Lady in Red

winter 2

Winter is making its final appearance here on St. Simons Island.  At least I hope we’re getting to the end of what has been a colder than usual season.

My gardening plans have me gazing at photos on-line, dreaming of what to plant where, what will go with what…annuals versus perennials….evergreen versus flowering shrubs.

I stumbled across these divine Lady In Red hydrangeas that are now making it to the top of my list!

Aren’t they stunning?  The deep red of the blossoms almost look like velvet!

And then we have white cottage roses…..oh, how I love these!

I’m dreaming of putting a fence along our front lawn with these growing all along the street side.

Warmer weather is on its way this weekend and work will begin.  I hope to have a garden that looks something like this when all is said and done.  If you have any tips on flowering plants you love that grow well here, please share!

    Beautiful Melissa! Makes me want to buy some more flowers…almost! I have learned the hard way, that I need to buy only hardy perennials for my yard. I don’t have the time or inclination to baby the more delicate varieties of blooming shrubs and flowers…I admire people who do though…I can see your amazing yard full of these beauties!
