Exceedingly Mundane

I love flowers blooming in the spring. Even more than that, I love having flowers I didn’t expect to come back and bloom again. I planted some snapdragons last fall in one of my flower beds. Most of them looked pretty ragged when I pulled them up in the winter, but two of them looked half alive, so instead of throwing them in the trash, I stuck them in an old flower pot behind my fence. Didn’t plant them, didn’t water them, didn’t fertilize them. I just made a hole with my hand in an old pot with old dirt, stuck them in, and covered their roots.

This spring, they have come back and bloomed beautifully. Here’s a collage of some of the pictures I have taken… making them smaller to fit in one collage really takes away from how pretty they are. So, I’m including a couple of pictures on the extended page. Even then, the pictures don’t do them justice! The colors are just so vibrant and gorgeous – pink and yellow – so springy!
