Flowers don't belong in the attic

I worked soooo hard this morning. Yesterday I bought several flowering plants, and this morning I planted most of them. When we took out the trees in our front yard to which Brent is allergic, we had a flowerbox put in, which was filled with gorgeous, almost black soil, but nothing else. This morning I put in three rosebushes: one pale pink, one red, and one yellow, along with two daylilies and two diplodena, which is apparently a tropical plant, so I doubt it will survive the winter. It has beautiful bright pink flowers, though, so I'll just enjoy it this year. Then I planted two coral impatiens next to the garage. I still have a lot of empty spaces, so I think I'll go get some more flats of petunias, because I love them. Right now most of the flowers are pink, red, and purple, but maybe I should get petunias in a riot of colors to fill in everywhere.

I still have raspberries and a butterfly bush to plant in the backyard, but it was hot, I was tired, and the soil in the backyard is really heavy and hard to work with. I think I'll tackle it tomorrow, after the sprinklers have softened it up a bit.
