I went to WalMart for some miscellaneous stuff yesterday and could not resist walking through the gardening center.There I was, taking picture after picture and no one said a word to me. I think Florida centers look very different from the gardening centers up north this time of year. I remember daffodils, tulips and trays of pansies. You will find none of them here because they do not grow in Florida. The "spring" focus in Florida is on Gerbera daisies, geraniums and various lilies.

I think what I miss most about living up north are the tulips, daffodils, bearded iris and lilac bushes. The wild flower I miss most is Queen Anne's Lace. Yes, they can be smelly and attract bugs, but I love them anyway.
