My mom heard that there were pics of people's flowers on here and promptly asked me to post hers! Hope you all enjoy.

Here ya go mom, just for you :) Love you and see you later!

Beautiful garden!

So pretty. I'm jealous, I can't grow a thing out side. Tried flower baskets around my porch several times and they just die no matter what I do. My sweetie suggested I make some flower wall hanging to put on porch walls so I have my flowers,lol. But you know, I am seriously considering it.

Come on over and please make my garden just as beautiful please! :-P

So pretty.

Pretty garden,mom should be proud of it.Wish I could have one too.

So pretty, and Poppies are my favorite. I finally got one little flower last year, houses close to us have them but I even bought the plants already 4 inches high and they still won't grow. You are way ahead of us in flowers...we are still worrying about frost until middle of June. I guess someone looked it up and July is the only month that we have not had snow....I lived outside of Ft. Wayne for 3 years while my husband attended Concordia Seminary. Loved it there...

Love the garden.

Beautiful garden!

Beautiful garden. I whish I could grow poppies that were that pretty. The squires and bunnies eat everything.

Beautiful garden.

Your mother has done an awesome job with her yard and flowers!! I can almost smell the flowers from the picture. :)

wtg mom nice flowers

Lots of work there! But very satisfying work for your Mom,I'm sure.Beautiful.

She is a wonderful gardener. I on the other hand should not be allowed to glance at flowers my thumb is so black!

Glad you put the pictures on here. She has a beautiful place and must be proud of it. I have lots of trees and not enough sun for flowers.

Beautiful! When I have something that grows in my yard, it's either a weed or it grows in spite of me! lol I do have 2 glorious peony plants. One has about 30 buds and the other one about 20. I'm waiting not so patiently for them to bloom! Had a wonderful clematis, but dh chopped it last year and now it's very sad:-(

Mom, I love your garden. Gardening feeds the soul, just like quilting, I think

wow gorgeous!!

Oh that is so gorgeous! The ground is so hard and rocky here that we have done mostly container gardening. I am slowly gathering pots and yard art to landscape without grass, part of our yard is shady, part sunny, it's been a fun challenge! Have planted mostly native Texas plants to withstand the heat, it is over 100 today!

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks to both of you for sharing.

A big thank you to your mom for sharing! A lovely yard. I'd like to sit a spell and visit with her!

Lovely yard areas!!

What a beautiful garden and lovely place to sit and enjoy nature at it's finest!

Beautiful garden. Very pretty.

Beautiful, but what does it have to do with quilting? This caption says pictures of quilts.

nice pictures

Absolutely beautiful! So glad you posted the pictures. This time of year, because of such short growing seasons in Wisconsin, I have to choose gardening over quitling, or at least share the time.

I think flower gardening and quilting have a lot in common. Mixing and matching colors, enjoying the creative process as well as the finished product, and shopping at quilt stores and gardenening centers can take hours, just appreciating and longing.

So I love sunny days when I can garden, and rainy days so I can sew.

How many of you quilters are also gardeners?

Tell Mom she has a beautiful yard. Out here you're lucky to grow anything.

SO pretty:)

I see lots of work, it is gorgeous.

Hey Mom.....your gardens are gorgeous!! You must work very hard to keep them looking so grand :-D

Love the flowers!!!

Looks like a cool place to enjoy :)

Oh my. What a nice garden!!

Her gardens are very pretty. I have a large one on my front
lawn and a smaller one across the driveway on more of our lawn. Remember, I live on a farm so I have lots of space to plant flowers and shrubs.

Love your mums garden, so pretty.

Your mom's garden is beautiful. I love the pond. Very nice.

Nice garden, I keep trying every year to try and grow flowers, just don't have a knack for it. Envy your mom for such a peaceful place to sit and relax, and to enjoy the work she has done.

When I saw your mom's garden, and I saw your avatar of the little one, I had to post. When my kids were little, they sort of were careful of Mom's flowers, because I included them in 'gardening.' Part of that was planting things they could relate to.
I remember planting Iris Pallida. It had varegated leaves, and a distintive perfume that smelled exactly like grape Koolaid!
It's a very old iris, it's proabably for sale somewhere, I bet some of her friends might even have one to share. Come to think of it, maybe she already has one!
