I promise not to post more than 4 flowers in one post.
And I will spread them out throughout the year. There's nothing more pleasant than a bloom in February from June, is there?
Our Saturday morning part of the Art in Bloom tour here in Black Mountain had fantastic weather. I was a volunteer with Carol at Susan's home. Here are the first 4 photos of our lovely experience.

| The umbrella was for shade (much appreciated) as volunteers checked tickets and spoke with visitors |
The tour works by people purchasing tickets at the Center for the Arts, then receiving a map showing where each garden is. When people come to visit the garden, they must show their tickets. We had to send a couple of people to the BMCA to purchase tickets. The map was not provided for us volunteers, but we did see that the gardens were spread all over the area.

| The Garden Tour also provides access to the gallery exhibit at BMCA where local florists and decorators display an arrangement based upon a piece of art, donated for the purpose of the exhibit. |
 |
| I think Susan does a great job of combining her pets and gardening, with the fence around the dog's part of the yard. |
 |
| Our hostess, Susan, who gave a preliminary tour to the vols. Much of her beautiful garden is behind her house by the guest house. |
And a final note is that the garden tour includes a discount towards lunch in some area restaurants (I also didn't hear which ones, sorry).
OK here's one picture of just a flower!
