My first flowers . . .  by tara11

My first flowers . . .

. . . of the season! Ryan and I went to the nursery and bought some yellow Lantana and Caladiums for the mailbox and some 'deer resistant' Zinnia's for the driveway. This is the yellow one. I love planting flowers in my yard - it makes it look so pretty. Unfortunately, the deer that live in the woods are just as excited. Only one of the 3 Caladiums that I planted survived. I say 'bring it on' deer :)
Pretty! I love how you're challenging the deer to a fight. :-)

I love lantana but it is a noxious weed here. My husband will not let me have it in the garden!

Deer me, that's awful that they ate 2 of your plants thanks for the info, did not know that deer are resistant to zinnias some great detail on this zinnia shot!

@ljm I got this really stinky stuff called Liquid Fence - cost me a fortune so I hope it works :)

@gennywren How sad, I love Lantana. I always plant creeping yellow ones by my mailbox and they get so big in the sun and the butterflies love them. I also get some of the pink and yellow ones for pots. I'll think of you now, Genny when I look at them :)

@tonyjsisti Well, we'll see how resistant they are Tony. I'm not holding my breath. Thanks for stopping by!
