Name: Jackie Lake Lanier, GA (Heat Zone 7) (Zone 7b) ☺ I love flowers!! ☺
These are first year bulbs and the deer (or rabbits) have been eating some [or parts] of them ... but.... the ones that have bloomed smell divine and there are more coming up (hopefully more pink ones!).
Covering them up with a cardboard box nightly has been the only thing that's kept them from being someone's snack (the spots on the leaves is the deer repellent we use with some degree of success..... )
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust. — Gertrude Jekyll
