I do not normally do this, but I thought for a change I'll do a post with just pictures.. Okay not just pictures I'll end up writing stuff, I know what I'm like! Lol..


Pelargonium 
This little flower as been flowering on and off since I planted it last year.


Camellia Sinensis
I have had this little tea yep its a tea plant a few years now. Got him/her for my birthday one year!

Isn't it just beautiful when the daffodil's come out,

Has you can in the front of the picture my hydrangea is coming back to life. With the Saint John's Wort, just behind.
