Favorite Time of the Year

Blog Prompt - Choose your favorite season. Name the season and explain why it is your favorite.

I love spring time!  Nature is starting to open up and turn green and all the beautiful colors are starting to explode.  The weather is just perfect and not too hot.  The rainy season hasn’t started, so I really enjoy going outside to work in the yard. All the butterflies will start coming around and the birds are busy at my feeders.

Living here in Florida, I can pretty much have flowers all year around.  I just planted all the pansies and violas for the winter season here in my pots.  The violas are so fragrant and beautiful.  But, in the spring all the azaleas are blooming and the colors are just beautiful.  Actually I have some late blooming azaleas blooming now until about February in the back of my house.  Oh and poinsettias that are planted in my yard are starting to turn red and the little yellow clusters should be showing soon.  My Camellia will bloom in a few weeks too!  Another southern beauty.

I have a layout showing some of the flowers here in Florida in the spring.

A Rose is a Rose

I LOVE roses and I don’t know too many people, especially all you ladies out there.  And don’t you just love it when your hubby or boyfriends surprises you with them!  What a treat that always is.

My favorite rose color is salmon.  I had always been a red rose person, but when I had to go and pick up roses for my fathers funeral, they were salmon.  That was his favorite color.  I just adored them and the color was beyond beautiful and that color of rose will always remind me of him.

I went to a site to read about roses and what the salmon color means and this is what it said:

You caught their eye, they caught your eye. There’s smoke, now there’s a chance for fire. Send orange roses, the color of desire and enthusiasm. Then, wait for passion to ignite.
