- #BeautifulBark Does anyone else take photos of tree bark all the time and think how beautiful it is? What's your favorite bark? #Trees #Bark
- #Daffodils are my absolute favorite flower. When I see them, I think of my Grandmothers Lula Bee & Peggy Venus, my mother & her sister Shirley. All who love them as much as I do. My sweet Auntie recently passed away, so this post is dedicated to her. #Gardening #Flowers
- Feeling Blue? This Brunnera will surely brighten your day! A member of the #Boraginaceae family. A great addition for any spring garden. #Garden
- Who doesn't love the distinctive fragrance of Lilacs? Wish you could breath in the fragrance of these beauties I found across the street this week. Syringa vulgaris the common Lilac. Did you know it is a member of the olive family? #Oleaceae #Gardening
- Who knew that Salt Lake City was a paradise for Roses? Seriously no blackspot and seldom mildew. The Rose Garden @redbuttegarden has me completely enthralled. #Gardening #Roses
- The Double Late Tulip 'Carnaval de Nice' has gorgeous double blooms of red and white. The foliage is unique green to gray with a white edging too. #bulbs #Gardening #Flowers
- Papaver somniferum (Bread Seed Poppy) flowering @redbuttegarden The bees love these flowers as much as I do. #Papaveraceae #Gardening
- Lavender definitely grows well here in Salt Lake City. It is even growing in the median strips downtown. First time I've lived somewhere that it doesn’t die immediately upon planting.
