Countdown to spring! One garden photo per day - Part 6

You all are at it again early this morning, great stuff. I will play the blue game. Campanula lactiflora 'Pritchard's Variety' in June.

Ok I'll do blue too
Chinese Forget Me Nots in my wildflower garden

Love all the beautiful colors and plants this morning but Bill's photos are making me crazed for spring - too neat (but wonderful).

Louise - hard to believe it bloomed for you already. I took a lot of cuttings and they'll be blooming this year. Cuttings of Beni Gaku also did exceptionally well. It means digging up more plants to make an even larger hydrangea garden.

thx pirl - nice lilly

i like all the blues too - the cham. boulevard should count as a blue:)

Bill - what did you put in your coffee that you see the JM as blue? I want some.

Pirl, that is one GORGEOUS pic

Thanks, Jen, and my thanks to Ramona. I love her bulbs!

Beautiful blues, everyone! Great shades.

Great wide shot, Bill. Do you vacuum?!!

Beautiful lily, Pirl.

I too will break away from blue. This is hydrangea Pretty Maiden. The outer florets are sterile. Those tiny inner florets are the fertile ones.

Love the forget me nots in spring. Never know where and how many will show up. Pirl your lily pic is just lovely. I have some coming from there this spring. Can't wait for some new lilies. I have put off getting new ones since the arrival of the red devils but think I can handle them now so some new pretties yeah.

Pretty hydrangea Victor. Are they naturally pink for you or do you add lime? All the large leaf including lacecap are blue here without amending soil PH.

pirl behind jm is a blue conifer - it is really a sea blue color.

victor if i vacuumed all the mulch you like so much would go:)

No lime for this one. Surprising, given my acidic soil.

Bonbini's pink is much darker than mine was Pirl, is it in partial shade or full sun? It's a beautiful photo!

They're at the fireplace wall and don't get full sun until after 11 AM, Celeste.

Thank you!

Lovely flowers everyone!

Elderberry florets

So very pretty!

And tiny! (lol)

Nice macro!

Thank you!

such pretty shots today all

Awesome shot WC!!

Pirl....I was in Southold when I took that picture ^_^

Thanks Pixie, I had fun taking the shot! lol

Love all the blues. With the woodland setting, I tend to stick with blues/purples, pinks, and whites. I'm seeing so many things here that I've added to my list for spring planting. Definitely will be on the lookout for the hydrangea in Victor's last post, and the one in Venu's post too if you know the variety. I really like the lacecaps and have been adding a few each year. This picture is an unknown rhododendron that I planted in the woods back in the late 1980s and then completely neglected and forgot about because it never bloomed. Then it did this two years in a row now. These kind of surprises never cease to amaze me.

Nice rhodie! I love the lacecaps too. Not many hydrangeas I don't like.

O I LUV the blues... mi mi mi...
♫Oh, my man, I love him so
He'll never know
All my life is just despair
But I don't care
When he takes me in his arms
The world is bright
All riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...♫

I like that one D Nut.

Love that song. Its best sung in the shower:-)

Or on Dave's?

I belt it out to my little 'Halo' dogwood in the spring in hopes that he won't die back to the ground. Methinks he likes it ^_^

That's not a second photo, is it?

Uh oh!

Thats ok. I haven't posted a pic today, she can use my turn:-)

mi mi mi ♫ I heard it through the grapevine ♫

(singing a cheating song oops)

LOL

'One is the loneliest number...'

that was a big karaoke song with my buds back in the day... and midnight confessions

Like them both.

But mi mi mi.. ♫ Girls-- they want to have fun hun
Oh girls just want to have fun ... ♫

(and we are kick butt blues singers so it is TOTALLY understandable if we accidently cheat on the pic thing. ps who made the 1 pic rule anyhoo?)
