National Flower Day or showing you what is blooming and growing at Becky's Greenhouse.

I planted these at the end of Feb. and the first of March.  The black and white plant has to have attention.  images from Becky's Greenhouse 

​GOOD morning looks like a day of lots of sunshine.  High temperature is 51F(11C)  which is our normal temperature for this time of year.  A mix of sun and clouds this morning with clouds making it way this afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower.  This is what we get in the spring, snow, wind and then rain.  Stay safe, and stay warm.
 
Australia family and friends for Saturday March 22 will be having partly cloudy conditions expected. Wind gusts are up to 3 MPH.  Their temperature high will  be 72F(22C).  Enjoyable temperature for sure, enjoy, stay safe, and stay cool.

The pictures are of the flowers I have planted at the end of Feb. and the first part of March.   They are growing very nicely and look at the color.   I will celebrate National Flower Day by planting all day long.  I can do that with this greenhouse we have.

A Holiday for Flowers? Why Not!  By Catherine Boeckmann
March 21 is National Flower Day. What is spring without flowers? Pollinators, birds, and life wouldn’t exist without these beauties. See three fun ways to bring flowers into your garden—plus, our prettiest flower pics!
When is National Flower Day?
Fittingly, National Flower Day falls on March 21. This date aligns closely with the spring equinox, the first day of spring. What better way to celebrate the new season than by kicking it off with a day full of flowers?
While the date of the spring equinox can shift from year to year, this holiday always occurs on March 21. The vernal equinox is a symbolic day of renewal and new life—and the unofficial start of the gardening season.
What is National Flower Day?
This is a fun holiday to celebrate the beauty and importance of flowers. Flowers not only bring joy to our lives but also pollinate, have culinary and medicinal purposes, and help sustain our entire ecosystem.
What to Consider When Starting a New Flower Garden
We’re unclear about National Flower Day’s history. Of course, there are National Tree Days; National Arbor Day is celebrated in the U.S. every year on the last Friday in April. Another floral day is on October 7, when President Ronald Reagan declared the rose the U.S. national flower.
Why Plant Flowers?
The pollen and nectar from flowers feed our bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and insects. All those fruiting vegetables—from tomatoes to zucchini—wouldn’t exist without flowers. So flowers also feed us!
In addition, flowers have surprising health benefits, including helping us sleep, calming our minds, and increasing positive feelings. See the healing benefits of flowers.
Flowers also help control pests in your vegetable garden
And, of course, flowers add color, scents, and texture to our gardens, stimulating our senses and adding artistic beauty to our lives!
Fun Flower Ideas for the Garden
1. Do you want a flower garden that delivers continuous blooms from spring through summer and into the fall? We’re excited to share this new flower color guide, which tells you the best flowers to plant to get color all season and fill those “bloom gaps.” See the Best Flowers for Continous Color Flowers All Season.
2. What is your favorite flower color? Some of us love the rare blues. Others love the color of orange flowers, which add sizzle to the garden, brighten up dark corners, and attract hummingbirds. See our new flower color collections—and pick your favorite!
3. Flowers have a language all their own and mark milestones such as weddings and funerals. See a list of flower meanings and create a garden or a special bouquet that symbolizes your feelings—for Mother’s Day or any special occasion.

We hope that you enjoy the healing beauty of flowers—and commit to adding some flowering blooms to your life!
