Floral Fun

Let's play a game. Who can guess how long it will take before I kill my new plants? I always kill the plants. I don't mean to. I don't know how it happens. But they die. I bought them today so our deck would look nice for Saturday's big shindig. I have actual doubts that they will make it till the weekend. I think the lady at the plant store told me these were called Jasmine - I don't recall for sure. (Which could be part of my problem). I picked the pink color and Easton picked the white. The green plant is one that is still hanging on from Grandaddy's funeral. It was looking pretty sad but I got the scissors out and trimmed away anything that looked brownish. My mom always talked about giving her plants a "haircut". I'm hoping it was the right thing to do.



But look how nice my hydrangea blooms are! I always had a fantasy of strolling through my back yard and picking some nice flowers to set on the table. And here they are!
