Garden colour












 



I shared here on Monday with you the edible part of our garden so with Autumn unfolding and Winter just around the corner I thought I would share a bit of mid week colour with you.

Does anyone have any ideas on what holds it's colour over the colder months?  I love having potted colour around me and am wanting to do a little more.

Can you believe it is March already?  Easter is just around the corner.  Tell me your plans for the month ahead, go on!  Hope your week has been a good one so far?

Hello new readers!  And thank you as always for stopping by and for your friendly, helpful and encouraging comments....... Elaina xo

  2. Pansies and polyanthus are good flowering potted colour plants for winter - usually about Easter they start appearing at the garden centres. Iceland poppies did well for me one winter too - and the more I picked for inside the more they flowered.

  6. I like pansies in the winter, what about shrubs I'm not sure what will grow well where you live but Daphnes look & smell lovely as does Winter Box.

  8. Everything looks so beautiful Elaina, your yucca is amazing, so many stems, I bet that it looks beautiful in real life - not that it doesn't look great in your picture! I love yucca's and have one in my garden, but it is nothing like yours!! Hope that all is well with you. xx

  14. Nice to see some outdoor color - for me its all still white! We had to visit a conservatory last weekend to get a dose of warmth and good flowery smells! What a contrast to the outside world. If you're interested, I took some photos of the trip. Lovely place to visit if anyone is ever in Pennsylvania. http://lifewiththecrew.typepad.com/my-blog/2014/03/thankful-tuesday-3414.html
