My Virtual Garden

I am really in the mood to plant this year. Maybe it's living back in farm country, I don't know. But I had so many plans for flowers. It just won't be this year. But that doesn't keep me from dreaming. So I thought I'd take you for a walk around the Little Blue Cracker House, and show you what I would plant....

First I'd have to have some Impariens on the front porch. Colorful and easy to maintain. They just add so much color.

I'd love to have a Morning Glory on a trellis outside the back door. We had those climbing the shed out by the garden when I was growing up and I just loved them. So strong, yet so delicate.

Of course I'd have to plant tulips. My favorite are purple, but I'd plant every color I could find.

I would love to have a lilac bush somewhere. I don't know where I'd plant it, but I'd find a place.

Another flower of my youth is the Lilly of the Valley. I never really appreciated them growing up, they were just ground cover. But looking back - they were so sweet. So beautiful. Yeah, I'd want to plant some of those along the side of the house....

Everyone loves an Iris - and I am no exception. Color, grace. Just breath taking.

Oh, and we can't forget the roses.

Now I know I can't plant any Gardenia's up here - but they are one of my favorite flowering bushes - and since I'm dreamin'.....I'm dreamin' big!

So that's my virtual garden. And if you were here? I'd be serving coffee and homemade pastry outside, so we could enjoy it.
