I wouldn't call it OCD, but I'd call it Obsessive Personality Disorder! When I find something I really like, it's like I cannot stop. My current obsession is gardening.
It started out really nice and simple. I needed some color in my yard as we were coming out of the winter time. Viola! I'll plant some pansies.
They were nice enough.
Then as March began, I noticed that some shoots were coming up in the yard. Excitement. Then the azaleas started to bloom. More excitement. Peony shoots? Triple excitement.
I decided to buy a few plants for the yard. Nothing major.
A geranium for the back deck.
An impatient from my sweet father-in-law.
A few more flowers started blooming in the yard.
A climbing Clematis. Very purpley!
Peonies that are about to pop!
So then I bought a few more things for the yard. I think I'm running out of room!
Lots of daisies!
Salvia (On sale right now at Home Depot 5 for $10)
Do not know what this is but it's pretty none the less!
Pretty in pink Petunias

So you do you think I'm crazy? I also planted lots of sunflower seeds this morning so we'll see how those come up. Looks like I've got a lot of work (and watering) ahead of me! Does anyone else out there really enjoy planting flowers?

i love it!! i think all i do is search local nurseries for the prettiest things each season! we are getting all our beds set--my favorite thing in the summer is hydrangea...just SO pretty!
I have a slight obsession as well ;) I took pictures this afternoon of what we've done so far. I'll be sure to post them :) Yours look wonderful!
HAHA"Obsessive Personality Disorder". I think I have that too!
I love gardening too! I can't wait to get the major stuff done around here so that I can focus on flowers and the pretty stuff! :)
I think the yellow flower is a Columbine.
You are not crazy at all! I am so jealous, I would love to have your yard and flowers. We are in an apartment still so I overcompensate with potted plants. I'm sure once we actually have a yard I will go on a planting spree. The daisies are gorgeous!
I love your garden. I am the same way. I love planting. I have decided this year to stick with what I know survives in my yard... petunias, sweet potato vine and coleus. My azaleas are blooming too. I love azaleas.
I had daisies last year and I adored them! Your clematis are gorgeous!
This is my first year gardening and so far I have lilac, sunflowers, pansies, begonias, and lots of wildflower seed. It's seriously so much fun! I can't wait to watch everything grow!
PS: I love your Clematis!
It's lovely! You'll get such joy out of it.. even the daily watering can be therapeutic :)
Loved stopping by your blog, I'm a happy new follower. x
So pretty! With the wedding last year, I didn't get much time for the yard at our new house, but this year that is def. one of my new obsessions. Love your gerber daisies!
