EXCITED FOR SPRING

 

 This sign caught our eyes as we drove past recently.  

Couldn't stop that day but …

… fortunately it was still there a couple of days later when I had more time.  The sign was good for a laugh and the  Garden Center was, of course, also perfect for a quick  'flower-fix'  stroll.

There weren't really any typical Spring flowers to get excited about.   (This is SW Florida after all and Spring is different here.)

But the pretty hibiscus are exciting in their own way.   And I found another great sign. 

 

 All photos taken last week at Bayshore Garden Center, North Fort Myers Florida.

    I love hibiscus; they are so exotic looking and they always seem to catch the sun and cast amazing shadows. They only bloom here as annuals and do so late in the summer at that. I’m delighted to see them today! We awoke to 35 degree temps.
