I think flowers are a great addition to any home.  Having flowers under my windows makes me happy.  I have window boxes all the way across the front windows of my home.  They really add a lot of bright colors and natural beauty to my home’s exterior.  I keep the exterior colors of my home neutral so that the colors of the flowers are dominant.  My neighbors think I have the prettiest house on the block and that I maintain a beautiful landscape.  I have noticed a few of my neighbors added flower boxes to their houses recently.  I think I may have started a flower fad in my neighborhood.
