Sahraa would have hated this…

…but we love it. This is the first time we’ve ever had flowers in the main bed in our back yard, mainly because Sahraa would have either dug up the bulbs or laid all over the plants. I’d rather have Sahraa than the flowers, but still, they’re nice to see.

I would prefer Sahraa too. It is a lovely reminder though of one of her favorite places. V

Now I understand that Sahraa did not want competition with such beautiful tulips! I also prefer Sahraa. BV***

Lovely light in this spring snippet!

Still reminds you of fond times with her by the flower bed. First Tulips I've seen this season, nicely done. V

They are very pretty but I too miss Sahraa. You can see why she liked this nice sunny spot. V

Pretty...

Superb backlight and colors ! V

The flowers are lovely and they're a wonderful reminder of your sweet Sahraa...V

Sahraa must have left some magic behind. Your photo is a nice tribute to her. This springtime flower bed is absolutely lovely. However, it would be far nicer if Sahraa were still with you and getting into her old mischief.

What a lovely collection Helen...it certainly is not a fair trade off. V

They are beautiful flowers.. Not a s joyful as having your dog there but still a nice addition to your yard this year. V

They are gorgeous! But I understand entirely why you'd rather have Sahraa, of course. The flowers can be seen as a tribute to her. V

A wonderful springtime image, you have a beautiful garden area.

Richard Chu		03-Apr-2023 00:18
Lovely colors of the flowers, enjoy the spring! V

Such pretty showing of tulips and daffodils. A good way to remember Sahraa and her antics.

Nick Paoni		02-Apr-2023 22:50
I bet she approves now.

A gorgeous spring array and yes, a fitting memorial for Sahraa evven though she'd have other ideas for that space. :-)

Claude Gagnon		02-Apr-2023 21:02
Probably in memory of Sahraa!! Very nice :)) V

Carl Carbone		02-Apr-2023 21:01
They are pretty. Funny that Sahraa didn't necessarily think so!

Raymond		02-Apr-2023 20:33
They're beautiful
