Flowers

I am not a gardener.  As a matter of fact,  we have slowly pulled out all the bushes around our house and are working at making most areas mowable grass (even though we don't like mowing either!).  I don't like weeding or working in the yard - it's just not fun.  What I do love are beautiful flowers.  I decided to do a search and post some of my favorites that I would plant if I loved to garden.

 Tulips are my favorite.  If I could have rows and rows of them, I would.  
 I just love the look of this flower.  
 I buy sunflower seed packets every single year and I don't get them planted.  I would also love a wall of sunflowers along my house. 
 This is one of the flowers I actually do have planted and I love them.  They are effortless and come back year after year. 
 Poppies are high on my list.  Such a pretty flower. 
 Purple Alum.  I've always loved these - especially the giant ones.  There is something about HUGE flowers that just make me smile. 
 Glads.  I planted bulbs a few years ago and really enjoyed them.  I should plant more - again, such an easy flower to grow. 

I really dislike bushes but I love decorative grass.  Maybe it's because it reminds me of being by Lake Michigan near the dunes and that is my happy place.
