Time For Some Color

Now that the risk of a hard frost is almost completely passed, we have begun to plant all of the annual flowers around the clubhouse and the golf course.  We received our first delivery of plants Thursday afternoon and started planting them this morning.  A majority of the planting will be completed today, but we won't finish everything until next week, just in time for the holiday weekend.  Still to be delivered next week are all the potted plants, hanging baskets, and a few more plants that we came up short on. 

You may notice that many of our bed designs stay somewhat similar over the years, but the colors change.  Our grower does most of the design work and tends to have a color scheme that ties many of the beds together.  This year the two major colors are yellow and pink.   Those aren't two colors that I would have thought to put together, but it looks like its going to end up being a great look.

The first picture our "stash" of flowers behind the shop before we started planting, and the second is of Alfredo and Roberto working hard to get as many flowers as possible planted before the weekend.
