Projects! Doorway flower bed

Bf wakes up this morning and starts messing with me.  He says let's go to Lowe's.  I say ok, what do you want to get?  He says plants.  He says I want to buy plants that I can plant myself.  Hehehe.. funny!  I did let him pick some plants out, and I planted them up.

Here we go!

 He picked some tall purple ones called salvia.    They are lovely!   I filled in with pentas and let him pick the color (red).  There are also some pentas coming up that survived the frost.  Yes, FL had a frost - a few actually (3 or 4)!  And I have impatiens that live through everything - the little red flower, bottom left!  I cut them back since they were leggy and buried the clippings.  Impatiens can be propagated from clippings.

Grandmother gave me this angel as a housewarming present last season
Everything looks pretty green right now, but I selected pentas that have a lot of buds ready to go!

This bed will look even better once it's mulched!
