Three or More Tuesday-Flower Pots

Here we are back at Tuesday again and it is time for
Three or More Tuesday hosted by the lovely Tam
Be sure to go and visit her see other who
are posting for Three or More Tuesday.
I may have posted about these pots before.
I set this arrangement up last year in May.
This is before the plants went in.
And this is what is looks like now too.
I rather like the composition of this picture.
Here they are after the impatiens were planted in there.

And again about a month and a half later
after the plants got a little bigger.
This is I am going to start them from seed.
I better get busy and plant the seeds.
Time is a-marching on here.
Maybe after work today.
Happy Tuesday!

Now you've hit my soft spot. The transition from empty pot to one filled with heavenly flowers is one of the most fulfilling things in my life. Sound dramatic? Not at all. I love beautiful flowers. They are like a tonic to my soul. Thanks for sharing!!!

Barbara Jean said...

It is a lovely arrangement and your flowers are so pretty.
Have not planted any impatiens this year yet.

blessings,

By the time I get started I will be too late. Good for you for getting on top of the planting season. I will take some inspiration (read that as kick in the butt) from you and get going this week.

Myrna said...

Hi Nea!! This is a lovely grouping!
and yes, I remember Dark Shadows!(lol)~ you're right, Gothic Rose reminds me of it, too!
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Myrna

Kim @ Starshine Chic said...

I have lots of seeds to plant as well. We better get to it!! Your planters & flowers look fabulous.

Blondie's Journal said...

Your pots are so pretty, I love the blue! I love impatiens but they need to have a lot of room around them to grow so I always use large pots. I'll bet that petunia's would be beautiful in those pots, just sort of flowing over. They come in all shades of blue and purple!

Great post for Three or More Tuesday!! :-D

xoxo

Hi Linnea, thanks for visiting my blog. I did check out my fonts section but I don't have that border option you mentioned. Maybe I will do a post on it and then I will get a ton of comments telling me how do it. LOLOL

Lorrie said...

Hi Linnea, the pots and flowers look so pretty. I know that things that are grouped in odd numbers always look best--and this arrangment shows that it's true.

Linnea, what size and what wood letters are you looking for? Maybe I have them!

Oh - those are beautiful! I planted several pots this last weekend too...so pretty!

Michelle said...

Linnea! I need to catch up with you...I am following too many blogs! Lol! I love your flower pots. I wish I had a green thumb. Everything I seem to buy that's a plant dies on me..even palms and they don't need much water!

I was just looking at your sidebar, your son and daughter-in-law are such a beautiful couple! Wow. :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Michelle :)

Life on the Edge said...

Just wanted to let you know that I am having a great time with Stella. I started following her adventures when she was visiting with you and Helmi. She tells me that she remembers her visit with you very fondly and that she wouldn't give that purse up for anything, not even for a Prada purse!
