I love Spring when my gardens start to bloom and I know many of you feel the same way about your gardens. I just had to share a few pictures that I took this morning. For years I had bought Lupine plants with no success. So, I bought a package of seeds about 3 years ago, planted them in several spots to see if I could get one to grow. I had 3 plants come up and survive and then they started self seeding. This is one of those plants. It has 15 blooms/buds on it. I am so excited!

| And, I have over 20 baby plants that have self seeded from last year. They are scattered throughout my gardens. |

I wanted to show you this which hopefully will have flowers later. Lori, my daughter helped me dig Mom's lillies (her pride and joy) . Lori, Cathy (my niece) and I split them. Mom would have been so thrilled. The last thing she said to me before she fell into a coma was for me to be sure to dig her lillies and tree peonies to put in my gardens. She loved them so much, and we are thrilled that we will have them in our gardens. |

Beautiful garden set-up.
WOW! can't get over your pond and waterfall. How many years did it take you to build that all up like that? It is really Awesome.

Colleen, the pond is 9 years old this spring. We certainly have gotten many years of enjoyment from it. We feel like we are on vacation everytime we have a minute to sit by it.
Your yard is beautiful. I know what you mean about your mom's flower's. I have some from my mom's garden and cherish them. I also have some from my mother-in-laws garden. It's a blessing to have them around us.
Maybe I should try the lupine seeds too? I have never had my plants survive either. Thanks for the idea, and your gardens really are beautiful.

Your gardens are so beautiful! I love to watch as things start to bloom in the spring. I have never had any luck with Lupines either (thanks for the inspiration) and your Mom's plants, how wonderful. We have several of my husband's grandma's peonies and they are very special. Thanks for sharing!!
What a beautiful garden and waterfall! The addition of your mother's lilies and tree peonies will really be a lasting memory of your mother. I know when my dad died, I dug his roses and blue berries that he loved. I still have them and think of him often and how much I am like him.
Thanks for sharing.

Oh Joan, I am so happy for you that you were able to bring your Mom's lillies for you to continue to watch them and always know that Mom is still around. I can't wait to come up and see the beautiful flowers in your Garden once again. I do believe it was a year ago that is what brought me to Joan's Garden. Hugs.
Beautiful watergarden and flowers Joan. I sure we had made our waterfall that tall but it will have to do as it is.......lol Thanks for sharing! "Hugs" Carol
How nice that your mom wanted you to have her beautiful flowers, and that you were able to transplant them into your heavenly setting! Joan, this pond and waterfall is the prettiest! You've done such a beautiful job, and your Lupine flowers are gorgeous as well!!! Thanks for sharing :)
What a beautiful story and waterfall, pond and posies. I love what your mom said before she went into the coma. Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh Joan ... 'Mom' would be so thrilled!! I can't wait to come out next month and see for myself all your labors of love! Lookin' good!!!
I have Lupin also and LOVE them ... I've had to do some transplanting of my Columbine and Bleeding Heart this year ... they are growing beyond their boundaries ... and the Morning Glory starters are EVERYWHERE!!! Looks like I'll need more trellis! TFS
Awesome tribute to your mom Joan!!! The waterfall and pond are so beautiful I am sure you really enjoy just sitting there and watching, listening and probably thanking God for your beautiful haven! TFS !!
Love your garden and your waterfall and am envious of your lupins. The slugs and snails gobbled all mine up!
Gorgeous Joan...and I am lucky to have seen it a week or so ago....and you have only shown a tiny bit of it....I am sure your Mom's lillies will bloom and thrive....can't wait to see where you planted them...and I am so envious of your lupines...my sister has one almost blooming and this year I had one plant survive, co am hoping...funny thing is I go up North by Mackinac and everyone has them...even in neglected gardens and they just don't like "me"...LOL....I am trying to ignore the one I have, afraid if I shpw excitement it will the end of it...haha...thanks for sharing the lovely photo's....if anyone knows of some good garden blogs, let me know...one cannot have too many blogs to visit...better then housecleaning!

Joan, your garden is so pretty and looks so relaxing!Just love flowers and the outdoors, when we had our pool and my health was better, we had so many flowers, my deck looked like the tropics, and everyone loved coming over to sit on our deck, they said it was so relaxing to sit there and look at all the color!! I am sure your Mom is so enjoying looking down upon her flowers and seeing all the joy that they are still bringing you!! Lovely lovely memories and such a gorgeous pond!
Thanks for sharing with us.

Your garden is very beautiful. Your lupine looked very pretty! Your pond is definitely breathtaking. :)
Wow! I must agree with everyone, your garden looks awesome. I'm sorry about your Mom and I hope she'll be alright very soon. By the way, your pond is very pretty! All the best to you and your family!
Oh my Joan, I'd never want to go inside! I absolutely love your waterfall. How peaceful and tranquil it must be to hear the water trickling throughout the day. Your pond is so beautiful serene. What a wonderful way to enjoy brunch or tea out near your garden! . . . thank you for sharing the pictures, I've not seen Lupine growing, I wish we could grow all the wonderful flowers you all can grow up there.
