Hi Gaylon,
I love this spring weather we've been having in Alabama but I'm becoming spoiled! I noticed little buds are starting to appear on many spring flowing plants, especially the azaleas. I hope we don't have another bout of snow or cold weather to ruin their blooms. I planted some Pride of Mobile roses many years ago and they are really beautiful when they are in full bloom but there have been many years when their blooms were ruined by a late freeze. I fell in love with the Pride of Mobile roses after visiting Bellingrath Gardens in Mobile.

Bellingrath Gardens and Home was the creation of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Bellingrath. The Gardens first opened to the public in 1932 while a national garden club meeting was taking place in Mobile. Mr. Bellingrath placed an ad in the Mobile paper, announcing that anyone who would like to see the spring garden could do so free of charge. After an overwhelming response, the couple decided to keep the gardens open year-round, beginning in 1934. Mr Bellingrath owned a coca cola franchise in Alabama. This is a good time to visit with this spring weather and remember Mardi Gras started in Mobile . Be sure to tell them I sent you.
