Today's Garden Finds

Our amaryllis are finally blooming and aren't they magnificent?! This is the first time we've lived in a climate mild enough where we can grow them in our garden and we immediately planted these. The amaryllis was one of my mother's very favorite flowers, and I have to think of her whenever I see them blooming around here.

Now, the gerbera daisies in the following pictures were our biggest surprise so far this year. We had them in flower pots last year and thought they were done when they died back in the winter.

Well, as you can see, not only did they come back, but they are flowering brightly and filling our hearts with joy every time we catch a glimpse of them!
