I do believe Spring is here!! Last Saturday Tiffany and I were at Wal Mart and when you walked in the door they had some gorgeous plants. They had beautiful palms that were probably 4-5 feet tall for $11.96. I really had no place to put something that tall. But, they did have these....
It was called a Spring Basket and was $3.48. I thought - why not?
I have been amazed at what this has done in less than one week. From that to this....
The flowers bloomed at such a fast pace that I kept grabbing my camera and taking several pictures a day. Some of these were within hours of each other.
Mostly green with a hint of the hyacinths popping out.
Suddenly, the daffodils and/or jonquils opened up.
Next came the red tulips.
WOW is all I can say. It was amazing to watch. I must admit the hyacinths had almost too much of a sweet smell to be in the house but it was so miserable outside with all of the rain and gloom that I couldn't put them out.
Enjoy!
Judy
Definitely a well spent $3.48 ! Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty! Nothing at our Walmart yet --still too cold etc. Thank you for posting such lovely pictures. Blessings
ReplyDeleteThe perfect antidote to winter, Judy. They're lovely! Are you going to transplant them outside eventually?

Oh, Judy, that little pot is beautiful! Almost every year I buy a few plants similar to that (but usually just one variety) in a pot at WalMart. After the blooms are spent, I plant them somewhere in the yard. It's always a nice surprise to see whether they'll return. I have many plants - hyacinths, asiatic lilies and tulips - that have come back, year after year, to bring me repeated joy. I love the mixed variety! Definitely a good buy!

I got a 4" mother-in-law tongue there for my kitchen window a few years ago. It's over 2 feet tall now. I think you have to get plants when they first come in at Walmart. You scored with those! Beautiful
ReplyDeleteOh my that is beautiful what a great deal for the price and to have them all blooming so beautiful you did good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal you got on those beautiful flowers. I can't believe how quickly they opened up. I'll have to make a trip to Walmart and see what ours has.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

Beautiful flowers for a great price. I love the look and scent of hyacinths. I hope there are many more spring flowers in your week ahead. Visiting from the 0ver 40 group.
ReplyDeleteJudy, that is gorgeous! I love Hyacinth but yes their scent is strong!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty deal. You can get many times the enjoyment, if you plant then outside. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteYou know I never go to Walmart, but after seeing such pretty plants maybe I should! And the price is fabulous...enjoy them. I love the smell of Hyacinth1
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are amazingly beautiful! Such a lovely touch of spring.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Oh, just a symphony of flowers! How lovely! Thanks for popping in to see me todya.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I've never seen a pot with mixed bulbs like that. How fun! I hope they have brightened your days.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I know it lifted your spirits, it did mine!! Nice to see a mixed pot like that!!

That really was money well spent! Those flowers are beautiful. It sounds like the experience of watching them bloom was as much fun as seeing them all done and adding beauty inside your home. They would definitely be nice to plant outside when the weather permits.
ReplyDeleteso pretty, Judy. I want to plant so many things, nothing is here at this new house. Also wanted to tell you that I adore the birdie pillow and did a post with it. Thanks so much for sending it out to me. it makes me happy each time i see it!!
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteGreat score for $3.48. Gotta love Walmart! These are so pretty.

I love a good bargain and 3.48 for this pretty spring mix is certainly one! I adore the scent of hyacinths altho they are a bit strong. I'll be at a WalMart tomorrow so I'm hoping they have some of these!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, that was a bargain AND the blooms are GORGEOUS! Enjoy your day dear friend! I think I will go to my Walmart and see if they have any of those:) HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see that most of the snow melted while on my trip, but there is still quite a bit on our front yard which faces the north. I think I will have to see what plants our Wal-Mart has! I need Spring!
ReplyDeleteDeb
They are so cheerful! I hope Bella is feeling better now. Poor girl...and yes, it hurts to see pets suffer....
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Oh I loved seeing all your flowers! So cheery and springy! I thought it was springy here this morning til I looked outside (it was snowing!). lol
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous. I never find anything that beautiful for such a good price. You took some lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet find for that price, Judy. That is just beautiful...and I bet those hyacinths smell up the whole house...a nice little prelude to Spring. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Judy! Those pretty flowers were well worth the $3.48! I'll have to check out my Wally World to see what they have.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring blooms! You find all of the best bargains.
ReplyDeleteSoo pretty!! Such beautiful blooms!! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy sweet day!
