We drove through the church parking lot the other day, just to see what's in bloom.  They have the most fabulous landscaper:  there is always something interesting to see there.

 

The weeping cherries are already leafing out, the Phlox is lovely, and the Redbuds are totally spectacular.  But what really grabbed me was this Rosemary in bloom.  My Rosemary has 4 flowers on it, so I figured this one would be blooming too.  Just look at it!!!  There are blossoms on nearly every stem.

 

Of course you know that you can eat Rosemary;  it's a fabulous herb.  Did you know that the flowers taste just like Rosemary?  Salad stuff, right there.  Pretty and tasty.  If you want to grow Rosemary in your garden, plant it in full sun.  The deer don't bother it, and you can utilize the leaves and flowers in your kitchen.  

 

One thing I have learned about Rosemary is not to add it to flower arrangements.  Most other flowers don't get along well with the volatile oil that we love.  So if you want Rosemary in a vase, use it by itself.  Or...there're always pretty silk flowers that won't mind being with Rosemary.  

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
