Wordless Wednesday - Home Sweet Fall Flowering Home

Being a huge fan of nature - landscape and wildlife - I have a thing for flowers in the spring. Each fall when the flowers begin to wilt and turn brown and the leaves fall off of the trees, I feel like so much is missing in the landscape - a color show of flowers! 

 

So, I have planted flowering shrubs around my yard to make up for the 'ick' of winter-to-come! My Encore Azaleas and Camillas are in full bloom now, and the annuals (Pansies and Mums) are spilling over after the recent rain we've had. I came home from work late this afternoon to a colorful driveway on a dreadfully dismal day...it made me smile so, I thought I'd share.

 

Home sweet flowering home in Charlotte NC

 

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Good morning Debe.

That is a variety of colors for sure.  In the gloom of winter just look at this photo and know the colors will return in the blink of an eye

Good morning Debe,  Your house looks lovely.  You did a beautiful job with the flowers and shrubs. 

Growing up in the city, I have a black thumb.  I love flowers and greenery, but leave the planting to someone else

Blankets of snow are not in the distant future in Wisconsin....flowers are a welcome sign of spring but evergreens will have to do this season.

Debe, I love the pops of color, what a great idea to break up the gray colors we see this time of year. Your planters in front of the garage caught my eye, they're so welcoming. You have a beautiful home!

Good morning again Debe. This is a lovely picture. It is hard in winter to keep the beauty around our homes. I use lights.

It a good look and we have done the same on flowering shrubs. We don't do the mums however.

Debe- this reminds me of my Falls and Winters in Houston where we had many grey days. Those pops of color that greet you when you return after a long day at work can go a long way to lifting your spirits.

Debe, this is the first I've heard of "encore" azaleas, but sounds like a great idea! I'll have check them out at my favorite plant place.

Debe Maxwell, CRS - Those beautiful flowers look like they are saying, "Welcome Home!!!" 

You have a beautiful home! I can tell it was built to last with love and undivided attention. Call me weird, but from one flower lover to another, if flowers could talk, they would say, "Debe loves us - we are so happy she planted us here. We love it here and will always give everyone a great first impression!"
