the flowers of spring

A house we stayed at recently had geraniums in full bloom, and other flowers
we would see in summer where we live. Of course Florida is on a
different flower schedule than we are. These were taken in early evening.

well out of proportion to their size." ~ Gertrude S.Wister

  6. Blooming flowers are good for the soul. So pretty. Geraniums are such a lovely good old fashioned flower. It will be a while before mine bloom! ♥

  8. I love that brick patio!! It looks like a perfect place to spend a little time for refreshment.
    I also love red geraniums! We plant them in containers every year. They are cheerful and fairly hardy. (That is important for a non-gardening sort of person like myself.)

  12. Beautiful images and quote : ) I noted how green the grass was there as well. Ours is currently like that since we are getting so much rain this spring !:)

  13. When we lived in Charleston, we had something in bloom year around. Here, we celebrate spring with blooms after a long winter without them.

    Best,

  16. Such vibrant colours in these spring petals! I love the simplicity of geraniums; they're guaranteed gorgeousness and ours last through the winter months, too. What a pretty place to sit and admire all the newcomers of the season!

    Wishing you a lovely week!

  17. I love the rich colours in these beautiful photos. I have geraniums in bloom in the dining room window - as close as it gets to blooms right now.

  18. The bench with a pot of red geraniums on either side is perfect for me because I like symmetry, drive myself crazy with it at times!
    Florida definitely offers a lift with flowers and colours to snow belt northern gardeners.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Dotsie.

  20. I love that quote. I enjoy the first flowers of spring so much. Finally some bright colours appear and even the dandelions are welcome here on the farm!

  21. What a show geraniums provide - the pinks and reds are such a joy to have in pots and they just go on and on all summer - they certainly earn their keep!
    I love your hydrangea header Dotsie - I must get a pink hydrangea next Spring.
    My two old white ones have turned a dark plumb pink now it's Autumn here - still quite lovely to pick!
    Enjoy your Spring!

  23. So pretty and charming I have about another full week, to 10 days and I shall purchase my plants for the season~

  24. Beautiful mosaics. I love geraniums in all colours and grow them each year. They can be planted earlier than a lot of other flowers here and I think their blossoms are so lovely. xx

  26. Ooh...beautiful...love both geraniums and impatiens. It's alway such a thrill to see the new flowers in the spring, isn't it? Hope you are having a good Tuesday, Dotsie!
