This is so frustrating, second time this week it's happened - send my post and it's lost! I learned my lesson the other day and copied before hitting send but then forgot I had copied a link afterward :( Let's try again...

hart, I wasn't sure I was going to like Rubidor when I first planted it - red flowers with gold foliage? But now I love it! I still have two more Weigela to add to the border but now that the others have gotten so big I'm running out of room!

Jen, very pretty - do you know which Spiderwort that is?

Chris, love the "flash" of Mary Chris! LOL That Iris is beautiful, do you know the name? I'm making a list of "wants" and that one needs to go on the list! Maybe Stormyla needs one too, to go with her new 'candy apple red' Bistro set :)

Terri!!!! Where have you been hiding? I haven't been posting a lot, mostly lurking, and I haven't seen much of you since we met in Richmond! Your Mountain Laurel is gorgeous! I'm seeing the same thing around here - it's been a long time since I've seen so many blooms and everything is so lush! No doubt all the glorious rain Mother Nature has been treating us with this spring is making everything very happy but I think the cooler temperatures are helping as well. Usually the heat kicks in and the flowers are blasted but everything seems to be hanging on much longer this spring. My Geraniums haven't looked this good in a long, long time :)
