One of my morning garden "inspections" revealed this…..

Snuggled in a bromeliad….I think she has great taste!   Don't you?

May's Garden

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.

Alfred Austin

Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.

Rudyard Kipling

Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.

Alfred Austin

In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.

Alice Walker

It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.

George Eliot

Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.

Oscar de la Renta

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Luther Burbank

A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

Liberty Hyde Bailey

When I go into the garden, I forget everything. It's uncomplicated in my world of gardening. It's trial and error, really. If something doesn't work, it comes out, and you start all over again.

Emilia Fox

A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.

Luis Barragan

Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan
