Flower Power

I’ve resisted buying new plants this year since my brown thumb tends to kill them off

 Black-eyed Susans? Maybe? LOVE them.

but Jac and I were driving by Home Depot 

and I suddenly found myself pushing a cart through the nursery

 Tiny roses

with Jac saying, “I like this one and that one and ohhhhhh pretty!”

 Repotted this lily (?) Marie gave us 

Best of all, we planted them immediately when we got home - with lots of help from Leanne -

 Blaze something?? Celosia

instead of our usual leave-them-unplanted-until-they-die routine. 

They’re all (allegedly) drought-tolerant and planted close enough to the front door that we might remember to water them occasionally. 

So pretty. Crossing my fingers they survive a little while, at least.
