Spring Garden Tour

I'm hopping on the Spring Garden Tour Party bandwagon with The Preacher's Wife. I've been snapping pictures all spring of my beautiful yard that my husband has so lovingly tended. He's just so wonderful. I love him so much. All he asks of me is to water some things when we're not getting any rain. Great guy, right? Well, this is supposed to be about my gardens and not my hubby, so here it goes...

Take a walk with me, if you will, around my yard and enjoy from the air conditioned comfort of your home. Please pardon me if I don't know the names of some of the flowers in my yard. Like I said, I just water them and enjoy looking at them. LOL!!
Note: The caption for each picture is underneath each one until you get to the roses. Blogger would not let me put more spacing between each picture and it's caption. So it looks like they are on top of the next picture. Hope you can figure it all out. :)

I have no idea what this called but is sure is pretty.
I call this pink elephant ears. :)
I'm not sure about these but they look like carnations to me.

I'm jealous of your garden! I hope to have a vegetable garden sometime soon, when there isn't a baby in the house.
