And just when I was about to give up on these seeds
that I planted a few weeks ago…

Looks like someone’s succulent garden got a little upgrade… a stamped & soda-fired wall pocket vase purchased during the Hinsdale Fine Arts Festival. I’m sure they will love their new home & be thriving in no time!!!

More colorful flag iris blooming today…
these little guys don’t seem to mind the chilly breeze?!

Another beauty blooming in my garden. I sure do LOVE iris season. The colors, the shapes, the petals… and even the scent. Not everybody likes the way iris smell… but it’s like a childhood flashback memory for me!

Another sweet little flag iris popping up in the garden…
I’m LOVING iris season this year!!!

While the overnight rains have not been so conducive to my morning bike rides, they are working wonders for some of the iris currently blooming in my front yard! I’m totally enamored by these beautiful bi-color irises… the color, the texture, the structure!!!

One of the coolest Spring flowers ever…
these fun purple “spheres” of allium stand on tall stems.
Gently swaying in the breeze!

Besides a “ton” of coleus plants with all of their colors & textures… my friends Gerry & Rosene have the most incredible garden with beautiful flowers around every corner! Here’s a little bit of a “visual tour” for those who couldn’t stop by our PLANT & POTTERY SALE this weekend!

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped-by this weekend’s PLANT & POTTERY SALE down in Peoria! My pals Rosene & Gerry have an amazing garden & grew hundreds of coleus plants for the sale… and I just popped-in with a collection of pottery to add to the festivities! It was so much fun seeing everyone come out for our little sale… excited about plants & pottery! Thanks again for playing with us!

Spring is here & things are popping up all over! If any of my Central Illinois fans are around this weekend, I’ll be “popping-up” in Peoria this Friday & Saturday. Beautiful homegrown plants, colorful coleus & more for your yard, containers & windowboxes! Plus an assortment of my pottery… mugs, vases, flower pots & more! You’ll also get to see one of my totem poles in the garden… and meet me very first art fair friends from “several” years ago!
