Don't let this time of year get you down...

Most people think that this time of year is when your garden in at rest... well it is not. There are many plants that are blooming this time of year. As I walked through my garden today I had to smile. I saw that my double helleborus are blooming as well as my primroses. Some of my camellias as blooming as well. I have to say, my favorite plant right now would have to be kale. The beautiful color and shape make them a stand out in any garden.

As well as walking through the garden and enjoying what was blooming, I had to get in some of my spring bulbs I bought at Costco earlier this week. I was able to get 4 bags of bulbs for around $13 a bag. I was surprised by what Costco was selling. My must have bulb this year was Trillium! Yes, Costco had them!!! 12 bulbs for only $12 and some change!!! I could not believe it.

Trillium is a unusual shade plant that has blooms ranging in color: purple, yellow, and white. This North America and Asia native has a small bloom that sits on top of a long stem. It is definitely an amazing addition to any garden!
