The days have been a mixture

of warm sunny days and then cold gray days. The warm days have made me catch spring fever, and I find myself purchasing every bright and cheerful flower that calls to me from the store nurseries.

But because of the cold days,  I know not to plant them outside............especially these pretties.

Just look at this red and yellow lady....................telling me how pretty she would be worked up into an embroidery design............don't you think?

Primrose is really not meant for the dry hot area that I live in, however, the stores display them in their bright and vibrant colors.

because they know that I will purchase them anyhow, loading them into my arms and whisking them out to my farm,  hoping that they might live a while for me to enjoy.

So far, they seem to be happy in the window by the back door.

Something new that I just had to bring home was this lovely plant. This is a

Shady Moonlight Viola.

It wasn't just the beautiful color that talked me into purchasing this............it smells heavenly!

It has the fragrance of honeysuckle or like the meadow flowers that bloom here on the grounds in spring.

If you run across this beauty.............take it home! You will be so delighted with it.

Now..............

what beauties have you spotted at your local nursery?

Primroses, or roses perhaps?

Maybe some colorful orchids?

I would love to hear!
