Follow the flowers

As a nice prezzie, my friend Frank stopped by with a bunch of flowers and his expert green thumb!

This is all to build my very own tropical garden right here in Chi-town... well the flowers are more your midwest variety, but you get the point.

So the flowers have been growing out on my porch for about two weeks now... after some hungry black birds have come by, I realize I must pick up a pinwheel from the Market. Once I do that I'm sure they will begin to bloom like crazy and I will posting pics here as they grow... I'm really hoping my own green thumb will shine through.
