    There was actually more available at the garden centers than I expected today. I went looking for at least a couple of shrubs that I can pot to place out in front of Amanda's bedroom window.

    I found a Ilex Sky Pencil

    And a Campact Texas Sage

    At another garden center I found flats of assorted SnapDragons.

    And since I didn't realize there were 36 plants in each flat.....I bought another one. Good thing I like SnapDragons a lot.

    At a third garden center I got Pansies in 4 different colors, three Primrose - white, red and purple, two Lavenders, two Chamomiles and several packets of seeds. And a package of 4 Pink Stargazer Lilies.

    I have about half the Snaps planted and some of the Pansies before I had other things to do. I will have to take pictures in the morning when the sun is still on the other side of the house. The rest of the Snaps and Pansies are going out back in the three wheelbarrows that are looking pretty barren right now.

    Unbelieveable that you are planting lovely flowers now that we here in the UK won't see until mid summer! Gorgeous collection - your garden will be glowing with colour.

    Oh I'm jealous of those beauties you bought Toni. Like EJ it'll be ages before there is anything like them in our garden centres. :(

    That's a nice combinations of plants, Toni. Snaps do well here too and my pansies are still blooming though we've had freezing temps at night. The stargazers are a beautiful lily. Enjoy.

    I'm a little jealous too! There probably won't be any garden centers open around here until at least March or April.
    Great finds Toni. Stargazers are one of my favorites :)

    Nice plants! :D We won't plant pansies for another two-three months, and snapdragons, even longer. I like the Stargazer lily a lot too. It's a very late bloomer here.
