How about a splash of Summer? Pics!

[Snowwark]

Let's brighten the place up a bit, shall we?

Winter seems to have a stranglehold on us, and as pretty as the snow can be, I'm more then ready for some colour! Are you?

Post some of your favourite garden pics (whether we've seen them before or not), and we'll try and give a lift to all our Buds !

Morning Glory vine from this past summer.

Next?

Those morning glories took my breath away!

Great idea to chase away the Winter Blahs!
..... (second only to planning a trip to WDW - which I am doing, BTW, for April! YAY!!)

Did I ever happen to mention that I just LOVE Peonies?!

 

[Snowwark]

You love peonies, Tulirose? No, I don't think you've ever mentioned that before...

Beautiful pics, thank you!!

Still in my Blue period, Delphiniums.

More pics, Buds?

"New England Summer" I know, I know, I'm so bad

[Tulirose]

Even with my cable access, these pictures froze my computer!! But it was definitely worth it once I finally got to see them.... especially Mary's New England Summer! What a HOOT!!!!

 

[Snowwark]

ROTFLOL Mary!!! Which one is you, and more importantly, are you winning?

Great pics, Mary, beautiful, and the cat looks nice too!

Vanessa, I love your yard, and your grasses are so lush and healthy looking!


More blue/purple....I'll snap out of it soon!

Icicle Pansies with the little "angels" that Nat noticed.

Violas

Keep them coming, Buds!

 

[DebºoºS]

SLOL, Mary!!

 

[DebºoºS]

Couldn't stop at just one......This is for your blue mood Kim

 

[Tulirose]

I love those pansy angels!!

Deb - I still say that you should seriously look into becoming a professional photographer. Not only are your plants magnificent but the way you photograph them is just stunning!

Okay - Dreaming of springtime and springtime brings..... DAFFODILS!!!

Next was my feeble attempt at copying Amid's Red/White/Blue theme...

Everyone has such great and glorious pics!

Especially you, Mary!

 

[Snowwark]

Bravo everyone, these are gorgeous!!

Beautiful rose, Deb, and thank you for your "blue" irises...lol. I love how you do the edges on your pics, but haven't been able to figure out how to duplicate that on mine.

Tulirose, your daffodils are great! A splash of spring! Can it really be that far off?

Vanessa, those are lovely! Is that the garden you had to move for the addition?

My new hydrangea, as it started to bloom.

 

[Tulirose]

These flowers and gardens and grasses and planters and kitty have really taken my winter doldrums away. Thank you all for posting such great photos. I want to see more, more, more!

Following are my two dahlias received from the DIS Flower Exchange, courtesy of SocererMickey. Thanks again Julie!

Wonderful!!!

I'm really enjoying these, thank you!

One more for the road....actually along the roadside, up at the cottage. Can't wait to see them again!

Texas Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush. Makes me homesick for Texas in spring.
