Mother's Day weekend means planting with Mom

My Mom loves planting flowers for our house. Every year we plant them on Mother's Day and watch them bloom until late fall, when she finally has to dump them into our compost heap. The challenge is always figuring out which flowers to buy (she aims for partial-sun plants since both the deck and front of the house are slightly shaded during the day). This year we came home with the following:

Ageratum, Alyssum, Bacopa, Calibrachoa Hybrid, Double Petunia, Petunia, Oxalis, Dracaena Spikes, Snapdragons, Salvia, Variegatus and Hypoestes. Since that's a whole mouthful of names, the photos of our day of planting are below. Enjoy!
