Great photos on this thread! :-)

Rose, did you have a Streptocarpella plant, or did you actually manage to get blooms already from cuttings I brought to the spring swap? (sorry, not sure who those went home with, LOL)

I have to start with a photo of the 'Fat Spike' lavender "hedge" along the driveway... It's been blooming for nearly a month! I was so afraid I'd killed it by pruning it "on time" this year and then having to bundle it up for a week when we had that cold snap. It bloomed a little late, and/or I think the lilies bloomed a little early, so we've been enjoying the combination!
