And a few other spots of delight for me today:

1) I'm loving the chionodoxa near my front porch--the colors are so vivid right now. I'm glad I got the mixture of colors.
2) My Veronica 'Georgia Blue' is really going to town! Love the soft blue.
3) Here's a photo of the yard as I come out my back door. Just over the bed of daffs in the back is the clothesline where the wisteria and clematis are growing. Just thinking how nice it will look in several years when it's grown across and is blooming!! I've also planted some shrubs on the back fence (Beauty Bush 'Dream Catcher' and Nandina), so someday that will fill in, too, and hide the ugly fence. There is also a baby Japanese maple growing back there. Anyway, someday there will be more vertical contrast in the background and make it prettier, but for now I'm enjoying the tulips, daffs, hyacinth, and others.
4) Loving my bed of daffs. I don't see any Tahiti yet, though. I know I got a few of them. Maybe they're among the daffs that haven't opened up yet.
