A GARDENER AT HEART Vol. 2 Issue 3

THE FLOWERS ARE HERE,
THE FLOWERS ARE HERE. 

The Philadelphia Flower Show is the first true sign that spring is about to be sprung. Sorry Punxsutawney Phil!  Now, we all  know how much I love tablecloths, but did you also know that I love flowering plants? I emphasize plants as I don't do too well with cut flowers and with true admiration for all you florists out there - I do not know how you keep those things alive, much less arranged!  I am a gardener at heart and so when I got the chance to sneak into this greenhouse and take pictures, well I was in hog heaven.  This extra special February issue is just on flowering plants. I know, you are wondering:  "HEY ANN, WHERE ARE THE TABLECLOTHS?"  Well, it can't always be about tablecloths, at least that's what my kids tell me.  Pull up a chair, get yourself a cup of herbal tea, take a peek at these beauties and then go to the Flower Show and treat yourself to some spring inspiration. And take your camera, because aside from all the flowers, you just might see some great tablecloths too!

 HOT PINK BABY!

OK , THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR YOU.  NOW YOU NEED TO GET UP, GET OUT AND GET BUSY! I WILL BE SENDING OUT THE MARCH ISSUE NEXT WEEK AND IT WILL BE FILLED WITH LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL TABLECLOTHS. I AM GOING TO SHOW OFF ALL THE WONDERFUL PHOTO ENTRIES FOR THE FEBRUARY CONTEST, AND WE GOT SOME BEAUTIES.  THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO SEND  IN YOUR PHOTO. THE CONTEST ENDS ON FRIDAY. AND JUST BECAUSE I AM FEELING SO HAPPY THAT SPRING IS CLOSE I AM GOING TO GIVE AWAY 2 TICKETS TO THE PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW TO THE FIRST PHOTO ENTRY I RECEIVE AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS: ATGLINENLADY@AOL.COM  TODAY. HOW'S THAT FOR PRESSURE. READY? SET? GO!
