One Mom's Mother's Day Present

I.  Love.  This.  Plant stand.  I've loved it for a long time.  I've had the perfect spot in mind, and have been debating the purchase for well over a year now.  I believe I actually fell in love with it before I even knew how to plant anything.  And now (mwa-ha-ha), it's mine.  All mine!!!  (Lightning and thunder, and the lab goes dim.)

Okay, enough of the bike already!  Here is one of my hanging baskets, on which I scored a fabulous deal.  Calibrachoa are some of my favorite flowers, and I have three matching baskets like this to hang on each front corner of the house and garage.  I'm not sure how well the magenta/red comes across...but, trust me, it's there with the purple.

Last, but not least, here are my "lipstick" impatiens, which will find a permanent home in the cedar pots that line our driveway:

Between these, the cosmos, sweet peas, moonflowers, morning glories, and veggies that I've started from seeds, and the vinca that I'll be transplanting to my wheelbarrow planters, I'm hoping for a very colorful summer.  ;)
