Patriotic Posies


In honor of Memorial Day, I hung my flag bright and early this morning and then went on a search for some patriotic flowers in the garden.  The red amaryllis was planted after Christmas and is currently in full bloom.


The white Easter lilies are also blooming. 
Seems funny to have Christmas and Easter flowers blooming at the same time.  Most of my mums are in full bloom now too.

And, of course, there is no shortage of blue ... in the form of hydrangeas.  A whole sink full!!

Our weather today seems undecided ... threaten rain or let the sun shine.  The fridge is filled with burgers, brats, chicken, corn on the cob & salad.  The gang is coming over later for a day on the lake and a bbq.  I'd better get going as I still need to prepare the potato salad. 

** Remembering the brave men and women who lost their lives in military service**

    Wow! Your flowers are huge! Perfect red, white and blue blooms. Hope the weather held out for the BBQ! Thanks for visiting me today. The back porch is covered. I'll probably include some more pictures as I get everything ready for the season.

  13. Oh my gosh, your sink full of hydrangeas is unbelievably beautiful. I looked at a teeny hydrangea at our garden center yesterday.....I promptly slapped my hand not to buy.....they require too much care in this part of Texas.
    I'll just enjoy looking at yours!!
