GARDEN BLOGGERS' BLOOM DAY


Home Design Ideas and Alternative
How many of you still have your Pointsettas from Christmas? Mine has outgrown its 4 inch pot and as you can see has put out a lot of new growth. All credit to the grow light.

In just 5 days from now, Saturday, March 20th to be exact, Spring will come to Chicago at 12:32 p.m. From this day forth light and dark will be equal. New life and growth will begin.

Today I went in search of Spring, for flowers to display for our monthly Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day sponsored by Carol of May Dreams Gardens . Despite the past few days of Spring-like weather there were no blooms in sight.

Alas, I searched for Spring elsewhere . Here inside Sweet Garden Chicago :

And its Spring all year long with these whimsical flowers that need
no water or sun. This is a shot of one of my neighbors front yards.
