Christmas in May

Few days are so bad that coming home to find this sitting on your porch doesn't make you forget all your troubles:

And the only thing more fun than tearing into that box, is tearing into that box when you have no idea what's inside. I'm participating in the Proven Winners garden writers plant trials, so the nice folks over at Proven Winners sent me a box of plants to try out and report back to them about later in the summer. Some of them, like the three Pretty Much Picasso petunias, are widely available at garden centers, but most of them are not due to be released until next year. It was quite a selection!

 

There are a couple that I'm particularly excited about, and I'll keep you updated on their progress as the summer progresses.
