My Green Thumb Is Itching for Contact with Mother Earth

As an avid gardener, I love to feel the therapeutic power of Mother Earth, so I garden. In Georgia, I am blessed with real gardens where I plant a variety of flowers: roses (God's showiest masterpieces), hydrangea, gladiolus, lilies, and so on. At times, my yard is a display of my gardening skills.

The top and bottom pictures are roses. In the middle are gladiolus (left) and lilies (right).
