When I was younger I really don't remember ever wanting a flower garden or really caring about gardening. The one thing I do remember though is the giant purple lilac bush that was outside my bedroom window. I remember the smell and it was
stinky. I did like the flowers and they were pretty, but the smell was sooooo strong. And I remember my mom had lots of ferns in front of the house because it was shaded. I really thought the ferns were ugly (
sorry mom).
Fast forward to 1999 and Prince Charming and I moved into our new house with lots of trees. Lots of trees mean lots of shade. Shade equals hostas, coral bells, and astilbe all of which are my favorite plants. Prince Charming also has his favorite - ferns.
As time's gone on, I've acquired an appreciation for gardening and wanted to share pictures of my gardens with you......minus a lilac bush.

I think of you every single time I see a hosta. Yours look GREAT. I planted some Frances Williams, in your honor. :)
The lilac bush was my favorite! I had no idea you never liked it. In fact, lilacs are my favorite flower, candle, scent, etc. Maybe when you come down you can help me buy some plants for my apartment?
The ferns came with the house. Sorry about that and the lilac bush was close to a hundred years old so I respected it for the tenacity in surviving that long. Besides I liked it. Florida Mom
