Lookie! In one corner of my front flowerbed, I planted several different types of bulb plants and other plants that "I wasn't so sure about". Every year they come back, with no effort from me, and for a very brief period of time I feel like Mother Nature!!! Here is a photo of the Asian Lilies that dutifully come back every year. Right now, there are even more flowers on each plant, but my camera battery is dead and I want to post it now!! We call these "Fairie Lilies"! Can't you just see a beautiful little fairy sitting on the petal!
My Gladiolas are starting to bloom too, so I will post photos of them soon. I wish they lasted longer, because they really are AMAZING!
Also, while I'm not a huge fan of Yard Art...I must share my two "garden statues" that make me smile. They are solar powered, so the frog belly shines green at night, and the elephant is blue. Hey...at least it isn't a Pink Flamingo with Sunglasses!?!?!?!?!? Honestly, the frog is for my backyard (once I finish working on it) and the elephant is in my front bed!
I have never loved gardening (because I'm not very good at it). But I think I am giving it another try. My lemon drop tree has about 15 fruit on it right now!!

I love gardening and I also love little pieces of me in my yard. I have a thing for turtles and have accumulated quite a few over the years. I see nothing wrong with your frog or elephant. If they make you happy then keep them there.
There is nothing more rewarding to me than to watch my yard come to life each year. Maybe one of these days I'll actually stay in a house long enough to really see this happen.
My rose bushes just started blooming this week and I am so excited. They are the first roses I have ever had.
