So this morning I was headed out to work my day job and hubby of course is off on the weekend and was on the porch to give me a peck and see me off...and I looked down and said "Oh no...I wanted to get a pic of Jo's flowers before they went bust"...because the blooms in this 100+ degree weather are getting a bit droopy....
My mom-in-law....Momma Jo gave me about 20 bulbs probably 6-7 years ago....I don't even know what these flowers are called..she wasn't particularly proud of them..just said they grew like heck...and gave me a bunch of bulbs....
Momma Jo was a rose lover..she had tons of bushes and her "Elizabeth Taylors" were her real pride and joy.....when hubby and I drove by the old house a few weeks ago and I saw that they had cut down her beloved rose bushes...it brought a few tears to my eyes...but hey....life goes on...These are the pics I took this morning of the blooms after they have been in the heat for a couple of weeks..I think they are still surviving quite well..even though I did not capture them in their first blooming Glory :)
Ever since she gave me these bulbs I have done nothing except for the fact that I first planted them in the ground and give them water and every summer at least 4 or 5 of them in different locations continue to bloom....one year to the next different bulbs will sprout up and it makes me smile every time I see them.
Thanks Momma Jo
RIP...and by the way..I think Elizabeth T would love these flowers :)
When Judy sends me a pic of Kelly wearing Momma Jo's jewelry I can't help but smile and I like to think that Momma Jo is out there smiling again as well :) I wanted to share the latest pic of Kelly rocking Jo's jewelry and she looks so sweet in this one..I just love it :)
Kelly also has a shop on Zibbet

I am getting this for a hard to shop for teen to stick a gift certificate inside but I know he will really like the card.
