Spring Blooms

Missouri Botanical Gardens, April 2009

Beauty is altogether in the eyes of the beholder.
-Margaret Wolfe Hungerford

We were fortunate to be able to visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens over spring break last year. While thinking about spring planting, looking over these photos give me inspiration - not to replicate what I see, but to take parts of what I see and to incorporate the ideas and color schemes into a flower bed by the driveway, a window box or a planter. What photos inspire you? Ideas can come from anywhere and can be replicated in large or small ways in your garden design or home decor. Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you today.
