by Patti Boker Elkon on April 25, 2010

Creeping Phlox also known as Mountain Pink, provide a bright display of the flowers shown above.  Placing one of these in a rock garden or among a stone wall will deliver a show of color for the Spring spectacular mentioned last week.  This plant comes in blue and white if you want to mix.  Decorating in these colors is a favorite for girls rooms and can be integrated in a number of fun ways.

 

Green Apple Design for Kids  offers many great ideas on their website,  or you can try a pink “Retro” kitchen like the photo here… WOW!
