I interrupt your regularly scheduled giveaways to bring you Double Danger’s first garden blogger’s bloom day of 2010. 

By the way, come back tomorrow for our encore giveaway.  Yes today was supposed to be the last day, but the sponsors have stepped up and you guys are going to be blown away!

Ok back to GBBD.

A couple of weeks ago I found a hibiscus that needed me.  It was sad and thirsty and I just couldn’t stand not to bring one home with me. 

After some pruning and watering it really started perking up and has given us a couple of blooms over the past week, but today it put on its best show yet.  Double blooms, Double Danger Blooms!

As you can see there are rain drops on these guys.  I stood out in the rain just to get this picture.  That is dedication!

If you are here for the giveaway, scroll down a bit more.  You still have time to enter!  And come back tomorrow for the encore giveaway!

So this Winter, since we couldn’t garden… or BBQ… we decided to brighten up our home w/ some of our best gardening pictures.  At first we were just printing pictures of family and such, which is cool & all.   You know sweet pictures, ones of Grandma(s) w/ their Grandchildren or Sister-in-law(s) w/ beers. 

But as we started looking at our pictures we quickly realized…

We might love our garden more than our family.

Or at least you would think so based our Flickr account.

Anyhow… so why fight it right?  So we printed an equal amount of garden pictures and family pictures.  Just so you can see how cool the garden pictures turned out – we snapped a pic before hanging them.  Check it out…

Pretty cool eh?  I bet some of you remember them, and if not – you can print your own from our stash by hitting up our Flickr account.  We don’t mind.  Just send us lots of money and free stuff.  You know you want to.

The whole point of this post was to tell you to use your garden photos to spruce up your home.  Why pay for someone else’s, when you can use your own!

P.S. – if you are a gardener… or just like free sh!t – check in next week when we start giving away some gardening goodies to our readers.  Stay tuned!
