If Only You Could Scratch and Sniff

If only you could scratch and sniff the photos!!!
Copper Canyon Daisy
 The Copper Canyon Daisy have a wonderfully divine lemon smell.
Thomas Affleck Rose
 The Thomas Affleck Rose- I want to cut off all the blooms off and take them inside.
Wisteria
The Wisteria- how can anyone NOT love the Wisteria!!!
cactus bloom
The cactus bloom is not fragrant but it was so pretty I just had to include it anyway.
Spring is here - and I for one could not be more excited.
Hopefully we have seen the last of the cold snaps- it was 34 here this week and 78 today.  Texas.  All I can say.  Gotta love it.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!
