You can't see them but little female bees were swarming all over the basil pictured above...
It was the coolest thing!
None of these beauties came home with me seeing as it's best to wait until the end of February before planting but that didn't stop me from admiring. I did treat myself to a little rosemary bush which I will pot today and display by my front door. Isn't there an old wives tale about that?
Tell me friends, what's your favorite flower, herb, plant? I think mine is Night Blooming Jasmine...
I planted two of them a few years back and they've grown like crazy! When in bloom you can smell them around the entire block. Pure nirvana!
so pretty, i think i need to learn a little more about flowers before picking a favourite.

You know I've never been a fan of gardening, I really just admired it from afar, but watching your blog the past few days has made me long for a lil flower bed! It's supposed to snow in NY tonight, but I think I'm going to stop at the super market and buy a sunflower or something to brighten up my dreary night! Thanks for inspiration Wendy!! =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! I can't wait to plant a veggie garden & some pretty flowers this year!

ReplyDeletei have no idea, i can't pay attention to names and i'm ok with that, haha! happy new year!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love these photos. I miss flowers. I love to plant lavender, and rosemary as well. And I have heard something about planting rosemary by your garden gate. :) Take care!
ReplyDeleteAll of your photos are nice - but I must admit, I like the first one best!
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite, too. :)

ReplyDeleteLove Love Love. Can't wait until SPring....everything is resting up in my garden for their Spring parade.

I just love sunflowers.
ReplyDeleteI love flowers in general.
Hello Wendy.....Ohhhh, I love so many herbs and plants. Jasmine, is, indeed, quite gorgeous as is honeysuckle. I love gardenias (but they are impossibly hard to grow), hyacinths, and lilacs, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following my blog! I'm your newest follower, too! So keep in touch! Susan
beautiful flowers :O ^_^ i just love the pink ones.

So nice to see flowers this time of year! We are in a deep freeze, so no flowers for us! I do love pansies. I love their little faces and delicate scent. My favorite herb is lavender. I just love the scent. Have a happy week! xx
ReplyDeleteI have a tough time keeping flowers alive, but I do have some basil growing on our balcony. I love basil... but I really love chives and rosemary too! Maybe I'll try and grow some in a pot this spring too. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flowers... that's hard because I love so many. Portulaca and Morning Glories are probably my favorites. And rosemary is my favorite herb. I love your photos - they're beautiful!
