Flowers Everywhere . . . is it really February?

While eating breakfast this morning, I was looking at blogs and I saw gorgeous pink flower displays on Peeking Thru The Sunflowers.

From my spot on the window seat,  I looked into the living room where Steve had thrown open the windows to greet the day.

I had no plans because Steve had shoulder surgery yesterday and that view of the garden just called to me.

I made a quick run to the nursery, brought home a bunch of plants and spent the rest of the day finding homes for the everything - off the ground so Lulu can't dig them up.

Containers were gathered, from wherever I could find them, to hold the plants.

A variety of plants and containers decorate an old ladder.

Old blue boxes nailed to one of Steve's old easels got some fresh plants.

A striped bucket holding yellow primrose hangs from another old easel.

With everything planted and Steve feeling pretty good, we decided to take some time outside with Lulu.

On our walk we passed a tree full of flowers that look like little lanterns - I would love to find a place in my garden for this tree.

I know I do not have space for this amazing tree, but the clusters of bright yellow flowers are gorgeous.

I need to find the name of this drought tolerant bush with sweet pink flowers that look like they are made of tissue paper.

Everywhere I looked today, I was surrounded by colorful flowers - is it really February?
