Flowers

So spring is here, well almost.

Do you plant any flowers? If so what kind?

I planted some tulips and hyacinths and the hostas I planted last year are coming up.

I want to plant more tulips and some petunias but H is already upset that I bought so many flowers last week.

I cant help it, I love the way they look and smell.

    We have daffodils, 4 peony bushes, 6 rose of sharon bushes, two live forever's, 2 rose bushes, 4 mums, and some grassy plants that were there when we moved in.

    All of these come back every year so Really we just took a hit when we moved in! LOL i just told DH they would only cost us one time :)

    That's great @jackofthebox. I have 3 peony bushes in our back yard. They smell so great but they don't last for a long time.

    H was upset and said I spend over $50 each year on flowers. He said I am turning our yard into a nursery. Its really not that many flowers and theyre all perennial.

     I think I am obsessed with hyacinths. They smell so great.

    I have tulips (white, yellow and red), hyacinths (pink, purple and white), few hosta plants, few dianthus plants, and 3 or 4 mini rose bushes and a John F Kennedy Rose.

    They all come back year after year but I keep adding tulips and hyacinths.

    We have a lilac tree in our backyard- it blooms every year, I can't wait! I LOVE the smell.

    Otherwise, no.. that's all.  We're more into planting veggies over flowers.

    We're waiting to see what pops up in the garden (we're in a new house this s.) Regardless I'm planning on tulips, daffodils, & this one I don't know the name of but the flowers are bell shaped. We planted that in the last house & they were gorgeous. Plus whatever catches my eye when we go shopping for them.

    Is it these?

    We had a lilac tree at our old house OMG that thing smelled so good. We just planted a small tree in our back yard that my mom was going to tear out and toss not for sure what it is yet, but i was thinking it was a cherry blossom keep your fingers crossed! 

    @titsMcgee my mom has a ton of hostas in her yard i think i will steal a few pieces and plant them in the front of our house!

    It will be hard to walk out without flowers @jackofthebox. I went last week to buy soil that was on sale and walked out with $60 worth of flowers.

    :\">

    @bostonkisses2 they should be coming out now so if you see it just yank the bulb out.

    I have three rose bushes in the back yard and one large on in the front yard. Since LO is so little I dont really have time to garden (yet) so everything is self maintaining for the time being.

    Snapdragons are my favorite but we don't really have anywhere to grow anything around here.

    Wow that is cheap.

    That sounds great, you can add some daffodils too. I have a flower bed that has tulips in the middle and daffodils and hyacinths on the side.
