I just planted these this afternoon. I bought potting soil, zinnias, snapdragons, dahlias, a geranium, and I forgot what the other one was. They are supposed to like sun. My front yard gets sun all day.
I put this flower bed in a year ago and put begonias in and they were so pretty and the first hot day they croaked! It's been empty ever since. So today I put these flowers in and I hope they last this time!

I think when they are full grown they will be very full and pretty!

This is a snapshot of that little front area. My rhoddies were gorgeous this year! They don't look like much right now but they sure were pretty!

A front view with some grass. I just am floored at the height of my two rose bushes to the right!

I am 5'8" tall and this yellow rose bush is as tall as I am! It's gorgeous!

This is the pink rose bush that is also a few inches taller than me!

When I was in Utah Brynnly and Lauren were making cards and they turned out so cute! This is one that I made when I got home. We have a gal at church whose baby boy die in utero two weeks before term. They also have a set of twins, 10 years old, a boy and a girl and a 3 year old girl. I felt so bad for her. So I made her a card and printed off some cute note sheets. (Ask my daughters, I am nuts about making my own note sheets and give a lot away.)

When you open the card it has a message. The note sheets are tied on the side. I thought it was a cute card for my first free lance try!

Your flowers are lovely, mom, and your card is cute too. I was working on our primary page for the newsletter today and I used a couple of things from PC crafter, yay for cute clipart and cute notepaper:)
Hmmm, let me know how they take Northwest heat, because I'm considering some of the same flowers for my yard too - someday ;)
Your front garden looks so beautiful and immaculate and I absolutely love the tall rose bushes. I must show my mum as she would love those photo's being a very dedicated gardner herself. My mum has always dreamed of having a house with a white picket fence just like yours!
