Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!" We've had a lot of rain but that's good for the flowers. The bright reddish orange and yellow bicolor dahlia pictured above is a new addition to our garden and I love it.

We planted the hot pink bicolor dahlia outside and I hope it survives the current cold snap.

The window box dianthus is thriving and I thought it looked neat with the raindrops on its petals.

Another new addition to my garden is this white rose-like impatiens. The red in the background is my mini Japanese maple seedling garden. For now, they're sharing the window box. I'm hoping enough survive to make some bonsais for inside and grow a few in pots for outside. The
one I started in 2012 made it through a few winters but is no longer with us so this time I wanted extra plants, just in case.

On a rare sunny day this squirrel kept running in front of our hellebore and azalea bushes and I finally got a photo. She's a fast one. I think she likes making my cat's head go back and forth (my cat watches from the window).
That's all for this week's mini garden tour. I hope my flower photos make you smile.
Which was your favorite? What is spring like in your area?
Thank you for visiting! May God bless you!
