Thank you so much for these posts and photos, Gotta Garden - I saw a story about the Philadelphia Flower Show in the NYTimes this morning and once again thought how wonderful it would be to attend some year. And the black shirt looks great with the green logo - plus, unlike the white versions, it will still look good after encounters with potting soil.
Hi annie! I so appreciate your comment! It was a really fun time. Unfortunately, that isn't a shirt, but an apron. Shirts sell out very fast, apparently, but not aprons! Besides, I like aprons!
How interesting to see the different interpretations of "Gardens of Ireland!" You did have more colors than we did, it appears... but still lots of pink and yellow!
How did I miss you, black_swamp girl?? I'm so glad to hear from you! Isn't that just amazing?? Lol! I think I already did a bit on the Dublin Botanical Gardens (speaking of real Ireland...lol), but I still have some of St. Stephen's Green...from last May...we could compare...real Ireland vs. garden show(s)...hmmm? lol! Just for fun!
Still, when we're cold and longing for spring, we'll take just about anything with flowers!
passionate gardener (no!); former master gardener volunteer; daylily enthusiast; and aspiring novelist. I am totally, most certainly, quite positively not addicted to plants...addictions are things you need to get over...and, well, I have no intention of getting over plants! There!
I LOVE comments and want to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to post one. Please do not be offended if I don't respond right away...I will, hopefully, get back to you...before too long. Life gets busy and I don't always respond promptly. I do value your contribution, so thanks for coming over!

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed (preferably in my pajamas)

I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border. I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass, and tries to correct the error.

No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.
