donner--
I just planted the Columbine you gave me at the swap.
Is that the one (blue and white) that you "no longer have"?
If it is--I love it.

Not getting much done yet with planting stuff from the swap
nor from my seeds. Had 2 Dr. appt today--(just routine) then went shopping to Aldis,
bought 2 loaves of that huge, round bread they sell...YUMMM.
Promised the Girls at the Dr's office i would bring one back for them--and did.
They paid me back--of course.

Took a few pictures to show you all...need to get a couple more w/o the sun.
I don't have the greatest camera--and when the sun is on the blooms--it looks weird.
I also cannot do a super macro with mine. Nothing closer than 4" does not even take.

1--One of my crazy iris's

2--The other....picked these 2 up at Wallmart--I think??? several years ago.

3--I call this one "Snowcap". Not sure that is correct. It came from my long-gone
neighbor's yard. Her father had the nursery in S. MD that sold bulbs. He gave her many.
This is one of them I "saved" when no one was living in the house.

4--Overwintered and returning in full bloom--Dianthus arounf my KK bed

5--This was the fully open bloom on one of the Dwarf Iris I gave away at the swap. Cute!

Anyone have theirs blooming yet?
