Melli Mac's Garden Shack is a local Black Mountain nursery. I stopped in last Saturday to pick up a couple of posies to have on my porch before my apartment inspection on Mon. this week. They won't be looking for flowers of course, but to see if I keep the stove and refrigerator clean and working. Ha ha, I'll surprise them. Well, other tenants are also putting a few blooms outside so I have a couple.
I enjoyed snapping photos of a few things I saw.
And for once the camera caught the closest flowers rather than the background!
Sharing with Floral Friday Fotos.

Love the blossoms. Our red bud is just starting to show some color.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Happy Friday! Have a great weekend!
I haven't been out as much as usual for spring flowers this year. But they are doing their thing now!
DeleteNice to get a dose of flowers at a garden shop. Out the window this morning I can see a bit of haze of red on the maple trees.
ReplyDeleteYes, that hazy red is on some of ours also. And there's one dropping lots of little blobs of red stuff on the sidewalk and my front porch too...which is fun on my shoes each time I come home.
Delete...that dogwood has an interesting color.
ReplyDeleteThat's the color most of ours are...except a few red dogwoods.
DeleteI'm not sure that I knew that dogwood has blossoms. How pretty they are.
ReplyDeleteThey are native in the woods here, but not as easy to spot as I hoped. There's one outside my living room window, and one that I'll share soon from the Dogwood Apartments down the road from me.
DeleteGood for you and your cameras for getting the closest flowers in focus. 👍
ReplyDeleteThe little old iPhone did its job right this time!
DeleteYou are several weeks ahead of me in the flowers department. What beautiful colors. Flowers give me a sense of hope. And I am in love with the name Mellie Mae. I might need a new scarecrow to name.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea, and my friendly nursery owner won't mind a bit, I'm sure.
DeleteAlways beautiful and restorative being with you. I wish you all the best this weekend. Aloha
ReplyDeleteThat's a good feeling to share! Thank you!
DeleteHi Barbara, My better half is already working at making everything beautiful. Planning plant purchases...herbs, flowers and possibly a new bush. Our redbuds are fantastic and now that the dogwoods have popped out, the best of the best are those locations where the redbuds and the dogwoods are in flower next to each other. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
ReplyDeleteSounds really like a beautiful neighborhood, and you all are leading the way!
DeleteA visit to a nursery at this time of year is so uplifting.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. There aren't annuals out yet...but soon. Due to be 31 next Wed. night.
DeleteNice photos, nice flowers and I love the GROW sign. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very good sign to have there!
DeleteVery pretty! I’m glad it’s spring!
ReplyDeleteIt's brought lots of pollen this year also! I'm doing ok so far, but friends are feeling the effects.
DeleteSpring is such a great time to think about gardens!
