Instead of flowers, I asked Frank that I would rather go to Target and replace some of my geraniums which suffered badly in the cold weather. I also got some alysum since I think they are so pretty and add the finishing touch.
I got three types of geraniums...a pink peppermint colored, red, and a solid pink...the alysum is pure white.
I also replanted the small live Christmas tree that I had given to Peter's dorm originally...he brought it home for the winter break, so I took care of it, and it now has some new growth, so repotted it so that it could grow some more!
Also got some English lavender...I hope I don't kill this one this time!
I just love my geraniums, though, since I have a hard time killing those!!
And I'll keep tending my poor hydrangeas...sigh...they just don't grow for me...and I think the cold weather got to them too, but I do see new growth, so watered them and loosened the soil a bit for them.
So a very nice, sunny Valentine's day for us here in Moorpark, California...

Pretty! I asked my husband for the same gift... but from Home Depot. Yours look beautiful!
Nothing is better for the heart than flowers...and my favorites are the ones I grow myself. I will blog about my seedlings this week. They bring me HUGE joy!!!
Jacquie, your plants all look so beautiful!
Be a while before I can dig in the dirt here :)

Annelies, I'm sure mine won't compare to your's! But I'm content with my flowers due to my brown thumb since it's a miracle they grow...
