Mother's Day Flowers

Everyone like getting flowers right! For Mother's Day Hans got Mom a big batch of flowers! But they're not just any old flowers! These flowers will last for a few months and look fantastic! This morning Mom and Hans planted them in the front flower bed and make a cute red and yellow boarder! Now the front yard is full of bright and cheery curb appeal!




The red flower is a Salvia! These flowers are apart of the mint famliy and are often called red sages.


And the yellow flower is a marigold! Marigolds are actually called Tagetes, but they go by their nickname in North America and most of Europe.


With Summer coming up these flower are perfect for getting us in to "Summer Mode"! Sunshine and fun times ahoy!
