We went to Lowe's Friday night after dinner so I could look around - that is it...just look around for flower ideas. They had an amazing selection of pansies, so I picked up a couple for an empty pot I had at home. As we were leaving, a worker asked us if we had checked out the sale area. I am a sucker for sales so of course we had to walk down and check things out. If some of yall have never checked out the sale area at Lowes, these plants are in desperate need of some tender-lovin'-care. They need to be pruned, dead buds removed, etc. Otherwise, they are just fine.
So let me tell you about this sale. I bought four quart-sized Dianthus for 10 cents each. 10 CENTS! I never would have bought them had they not been on sale, but they are a pretty flower, not my favorite but they were 10 CENTS! They are the hot pink ones in the picture below. (The ones in the pots on the far right, far left and dead back middle). The pansies are in the blue/white checkered pot.
I also decided to pull out some ivy, viney plants we had - I can not stand them! I pulled about half of the them out of the front flower bed and just put the pots on top of the mulch. We need to re-mulch so bad and add more topsoil, which we are doing in the early Spring, so I decided not to mess with trying to plant flowers in the ground just yet.
I also bought two sago palms for $5!! I put those on my back porch as well as another Dianthus.
I also bought a palm for our dining room for.....$2!
I would say I can now be classified as a bargain shopper!
Thank you to Rachel for all of your suggestions on what I should plant! The area I was dealing with is full sun and I was afraid the elephant ears wouldn't make it in this Florida sun! :)
Now...on to the next project! :)
