Absolutely!! Blooming brugs are the best. Since I am never going to breed the things, pretty will do me just fine. Oh yeah. This is the plant that has the weird growth at the bottom so perhaps it is just a mutant all the way around. I love it anyway.

The winter blooms are MUCH lighter. I did not post any when butterfly bloomed cause I did not think anyone would believe it was her lol. CG seemed to be least affected by the cold. My favorite nursery has a monster that I have to visit from time to time. (Oh yeah, I buy plants too.) Interestingly, I had no whites bloom in winter. Perhaps next year whe the plants are older. I need to learn the best time to cut them back now that most of the plants that I want in the ground are established.

The bug wars have begun. Time to stock up on bt and sevin. Sigh. With all of the frogs I have around, you would think they could take care of that!

Here is a cute little spring allium. It is an invasive plant but mine is bounded by cement above and a drain pipe below so they have only this little spot to grow in.
