Good for you that your potted flowers survived!! :) I'm still not sure if my potted roses from the garage have - plus it just dumped about 3 inches of snow on them to make it worse. I really hope some of them live.

As usual, love the vases - especially the green one!!

Oh, my goodness, I am thrilled with your beauties! the final bouquet array and the 2nd photo from the bouquet series is stunning! I have got! to tell Jim1961 about your dianthus! It survived the winter in those pots??? Jim's wife Sue loves, loves, loves those type of colors! Will email Jim!

Serena----the Dianthus is Corona Cherry Magic --I just checked it on google and it is quite new--

I got this at my son's Perennial Farm------it is an annual but it survived in those concrete pots all winter----I have a couple other pots and they are blooming there also--I was very surprised this spring when they started growing ----

I love this plant which is new to me-----

I'm going to try to save some seeds and see what happens---

My son likes to have unusual plants at his garden center and this sure is a winner.

I hope Jim's wife likes them

Yep Florence my wife likes them. Thanks for posting the pics and commenting!

Florence;Your pots of Dianthus are beautiful.I usually plant some in 2 cement geese I have out in the yard, but, they don't usually make it all summer.I think the geese are not deep enough, really,and they dry out too fast.Your Bouquets are gorgeous, too.Very pretty.

Florence, your son must have inherited the gardening gene from you and your mother. I can imagine your surprised joy when you saw these pretty dianthus blooming! You always have such delightful threads, and this one is no exception. Thanks for sharing this with us, and have a great day. :)

I love your mother's pot! That is so nice to have.
