Flowers on May Day 2015

The first apartment I lived in was in the historic German Village in Columbus, Ohio. The old houses, and several of the streets, are mostly all made of brick, and the gardens are beautiful. Every May Day residents hang baskets on their front gate or door filled with flowers. So I try to hang some flowers each May Day. My son's school invites students to bring flowers to school to fill vases for teachers and staff. It can be a wonderful start to the gardening season!

The Rhododendrons are in bloom.
