A Welcome Surprise

A little over a week ago, I finally planted our garden. I showed you the tree stump we found after digging out the old, overgrown plants and weeds.

This is what it looks like now:

 Liriope, White Coneflower and Star Gazer Lilies

 Caladiums and Dahlias

Watermelon Gerbera Daisy 

After the Lilies bloomed

Matt and I like it because it is simple and there is room for these plants to fill out without one day being overgrown. One amazingly welcome surprise:

These Spring bloomers opened up in the Summer heat at the end of last week. Not only do they look amazing (one of my all time favorite flowers), they smell so fragrant we smell them as soon as we open the front door to leave the house and as soon as we open the car door after we return home. They smell so good!
