Gardens

I love gardens. This is a fairly new love of mine. Nature and flowers used to bore me. I went to a botanical garden yesterday. I was amazed at the number of flowers blooming for this time of year.

My dad is an avid gardener. I think some of his love of plants and growing things has rubbed off on me. Finally. It started with African violets and progressed to orchids. Now I'm just kind of interested in it all. The condo where I'm living has some potential. The garden was completely neglected this year, but there are lots of roses. My dad helped me plant some iris for next year and I want to get a butterfly bush. It really helps cheer a place up and make it your own.
