Perennial~ Partial Shade
"If you're looking for a shade plant, this is it! A darling, small, compact variety, Victoria's Blue's eye-catching, petite, star-shaped flowers are perfect for the front of the garden, or as a companion to spring bulbs. A herald of spring, forget-me-not is symbolic of friendship and remembrance." Botanical Interests.
Just planted this in my front garden. Back with more gardens just as soon as my computer is back from Apple :) image from copyright-free-photos.org.uk
Kind of funny but I opened the summer issue of anthology magazine (I've read it before) and to my surprise realized the market report photograph was of a garden I redesigned for someone here. Ha, kind of cool.. anthology.com
I so love how these residents of New Orleans's never miss a beat with their 'terrace spots above the street' to enjoy the outdoors ! I took theses pics while visiting N.O. last November.
Thought this was so cool when I saw it in NW Portland. Hope you all do something 'lovely' for Valentine's.

I've been looking at chicken coop ideas for the Spring and found these 2 images in an older book I have of Mary Engelbreit's. I also happened upon a great flower site & shop this weekend called celilia fox. Love these hanging flower pots and can't wait to make them. Hope your week is off to a great start, cheers !
ps there's a cute download on mary engelbreit's site of a valentine cut out : )
Love these outdoor seating images from cote sud magazine.
These images are of Artemisia and The Portland Flower Market !
Visual candy for flower & nature lovers :)
~ while wandering in search of heart shaped wreath rings, i happened upon these charming spaces.. so lovely.
My middle daughter was born on Valentine's Day and even though she's not a child anymore, she loves to plan parties for her birthday ! I wanted to make a little decor for her and was inspired by the cover of Living this month.. Super easy DIY tissue flowers ~ I took a few images of the process along the way.
