What is it about snapdragons? They are cheerful and bright and sort of…solid. There’s nothing wimpy or ethereal or even magical; no, they just ARE. And, of course, they are perfect cutting flowers: they last an unusually long time, they combine well for arrangements, and come in a variety of colors. I had bought and planted these last fall. They bloomed a bit before the cold weather hit, and then……well, they looked deader than dead all winter. I really didn’t think they would come back. A little food, some warm weather and time was all they needed!

Enjoy your weekend
and
happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate!
