A Quilter with a Green Thumb --- Maybe NOT!

 My Aloe plant over grew it's planter.

One day the plant was all in the planter and then next day it was tipping right out of the planter.

So I very carefully moved the loose plants into 3 buckets with a little potting soil in the bottom.

After the holidays I will purchase planters and more potting soil and replant them.

There is still a lot of plant left in the pot.

I need to share the off shoots with my friends again.

Enjoy your day!

Up Close to the Blooms and Sprouts in and Around My Home on Mother's Day

 Look at that tiny little bee!

I hope to move my plants outside later today! My tomato plant is getting taller and taller everyday!

The Cilantro is sprouting - I may not move this yet!

 Can't wait for the fresh strawberries!

 Onions

This is a flowering bush very similar to a lilac bush, but I don't remember it's name.

 Beautiful Violas -- I saved them from where they sprouted in between the gravel.

Enjoy the blooms around you today and everyday!
Happy Mother's Day!

A Quilter with a Green Thumb - Tulips

We have a bouquet of tulips for our kitchen table. They weren't quite open when we cut them and now they are in full bloom!

I placed them next to the shamrock plant.

I thought there was a tag on the shamrock plant, but I guess not, so I can't tell you it's name.

Anyone know what it is? Please leave me a comment or email me.  Thanks!

The little white flowers are beautiful.  They are about the size of a quarter.

The leaves of course look like shamrocks.

I moved the tulips over to take a photo next to my Aloe and Violet plants.

I love the backdrop of the other plants -- makes the red and the pink of the tulips more vibrant.

We are really enjoying this early spring in Wisconsin.  Wish we could count on it staying warm and not freezing at night.  I am going to just keep everything inside til it is safe not to freeze.
Take time to enjoy the colors around you -  inside or outside!
