Yesterday I stopped in the local Lowes garden center. I always head straight to the clearance racks (never pay full price for flowers!).
Well...I sure did hit the jackpot! All of the flowers you see below were only $2 and $3 EACH. It was unbelievable! I just love a good bargain! Of course I didnt NEED anymore flowers but hey, when they are this cheap a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!

Thanks Marilyn and Nini! I also got a Meyer Lemon "bush" that is full of flowers and even has some baby lemons on it for $5!
I went and spent $15 and came home...my wheels started spinning and I started kicking myself that I should've bought more, so guess what? I hopped back in the car and spent another $15. Let me tell you- for $30 my back decks are just brimming with flowers! I love it! I truly think that flowers are an addiction! LOL
I have mainly perennials in my front gardens, but of course use annuals in the pots and planters on the decks.
Gardening definately brings me joy!
Hugs,
~Laurie

Beautiful flowers. You certainly hit the flower sell out. I love the pictures, thanks.

Thanks ladies! I must admit that every time I drive past or am in the vacinity of our local Lowes( we have 2 within a 5 mile radius) I have to hold myself back...LOL, although the same thing happens at the thrift! I just cant resist bargains- especially such pretty ones like these flowers!
Hugs,
