A trip to the garden center

Yesterday I went to the garden center and bought three hanging pots. I normally do my own but I just don't have time this year with all the projects I want to get done. I was thinking about getting all the flowers for my pots but it was so busy there I decided not to. And boy am I glad since we had a hail storm last night.

I did manage to get the hanging pots transferred to mine. I bought these at Sam's a few years ago. They look so much better than the plastic ones from the garden center. I couldn't believe that I found some that had red, orange and yellow flowers in them. Those are the colors in my yard (I also have purple).

Now I just need to get flowers for the baskets on the railing, the birdbath, the decorative pot holder and all my pots. It is going to rain this weekend so I guess it will have to wait.

Some of my flowers are starting to bloom. Right now my iris's are starting to show off. I am glad that the hail didn't damage it last night.

It looks blue in the picture but it is actually a very light purple.

My clematis is taking off this year. I can't wait to see it bloom. I planted it last year by the lamp post. I just love this trellis that I found. It looks like a plant.
