Fill in the Blank: I’m Passionate About……

We admit, we’re a little nosy here at the 2009 flower show.  What are you passionate about?

C’mon, you can tell us.  After all, the theme for the show is Passion:  How Do You Bloom?, and there’s no wrong answer to the question.

Passion is for…

  • Flowers
  • Gardening
  • Life well-lived
  • Garden parties
  • Sharing with friends and family
  • Simple pleasures
  • Healthy food
  • Environmental stewardship
  • Nature
  • Fun

As you might guess from the photos I posted above, I’m crazy-passionate about wildflowers.  I saw the dwarf crested iris and yellow trilliums on a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, and I’ve wanted to go back ever since.  Spring would be a great time, when the rhododendrons are blooming.   But even if I don’t make it back to the mountains this year, I know the flower show will be filled with blooms, shrubs, trees, and every kind of garden and landscape feature you can image.

Remember, you can win a beautiful 2009 gardening calendar, absolutely free, by telling us what you’re passionate about.  Just send us a comment.   Don’t feel like writing?  That’s okay, too.  A picture is worth a 1,000 words, so you can send us an image of your favorite flower, garden party, houseplant, fruit, veggie, or…you get the idea.  We’ll pick the three best entries received by Jan. 21, and send those lucky gardeners a calendar.

green blessings!

    In answering the question “How Do You Bloom?”, I must answer “Where I Am Planted!”. As a home-grown Floridian residing in a condo, I have very little gardening space. We are allowed a small plot in front of our unit, for so-called ‘Sunday gardening’, which I have turned into a butterly garden. Filled with Florida native/xeriscape plants and cultivated with flowers and herbs of various nature, it is a riot of color and fragrance. The wildlife, as well as the neighbors, enjoy the different seasonal varieties.

    Your butterfly garden sounds fantastic! I tend to forget that herbs make a great addition to wildlife gardens, and you’re wise to work in natives and drought-tolerant plants. Here in Georgia, we’ve been in a long-term drought, although the recent rainy weather is bringing some relief and helping fill up our big lakes again.

    Thanks for writing and entering to win a free 2009 gardening calendar.

    Happy New Year!
