Snapdragons are Poppin'

 The snapdragons in the front garden were planted way back in November of last year, and they are still putting on a show. Green and white is always right says James Farmer, and I agree. The white flowers make for such a coolling effect at any time of year.

Thanks again to Perino's Nursery for offering such a healthy selection of annuals from season to season.

• Annuals!

The snapdragons really have put on a spectacular show.

Snaps are Poppin', y'all!

Fall Plantings

 At the end of October, the flower beds were cleaned making way for the winter annuals. This year, I added lots of snapdragons in white hues to the front garden. You know the saying, "Green and white is always right!" I totally believe it too. I hope that the snaps  do as well as they did last year.

Snapdragons in the garden, y'all!

Snapdragons are poppin'

 With the Mardi Gras decorations down and put away for another year, the yard is my focus.

The white colored snapdragons have done so well in the gardens this year. They do love cool nights. Paired with purple petunias, the white snapdragons really "pop" in the garden.

It is beginning to look and feel like springtime has arrived in New Orleans.

Snapdragons, y'all!

Acorn Cottage {Winter Plantings}

 Late this week, the winter plantings filled the existing beds in the front garden. The winter plans include snapdragons, pansies, and Wave petunias all in white blooms, of course. The plantings in the rear garden will happen next week. I can only hope the winter plantings thrive as well as they did last year.

Winter Plantings, y'all!

November Plantings {Pansies & Snapdragons}

With the days and nights getting cooler here in south Louisiana, I replaced my front plantings with white pansies and snapdragons, two plants that are perfect for the cooler months. I love white blooms because they look great in both day and night and never clash with my seasonal decor.

Thanks again to our local Perino's Nursery for their excellent selection of blooms.

Pansies and Snaps, y'all!
