Countdown to spring! One Photo per Day Part 12

Oops - sorry Bill :)

Going behind my back! Sneaks!

These were the mums I bought for decorations for my daughters b-day last year.

yup - and you were consistent:)

with 60+ clems i was not sure if you could focus on 5 and since you just ordered a bunch thought one might have jumped out at you that was over looked while researching - you buying any of this?

caladium flower

Allison
I dont ever think I have seen one bloom.

OOOPS forgot todays picture

think I need more white blooms.. love that shot JoAnn...

until that one came up ... I never saw one before either.. right after I took that shot I went and looked it up... and found that if you don't cut them off.. you might have less foliage ... it got the pruners right after that

Its like coleus blooms,who need that.

exactly

Morning! Glory.....

Morning! glory to you too!!!

LOL

I am just wound up about going to the flower show today... and Randy wants to go!!!!

Awesome!!! Have a great time!!! I wished I lived closer.........

me too!!

I usually let at least one caladium flower develop.

Nice wide shot, Jo.

Pretty pink, Celeste.

Another Coppertina shot.

nicely composed Victor.

beautiful shot Victor!!!.. I behaved myself at the flower show.. didn't buy anything

Thanks. Which flower show? NJ?

yeah at the sussex fairgrounds.. it's small but nice.. and we sat in on a nice seminar about small space gardening.. got some good ideas... bad news is my battery on my camera died not long after we got there.. but I did get some nice ones I will post later.. kept turning it off and waiting till I saw a great one.. then took a shot

GF went to our show and ws disapointed.Glad I didnt go.
NOID Melon lily

this is a rain lily... they were freebies from easy to grow bulbs I wasn't sure how they would be so I just stuck them in this container.. they didn't bloom very long but were nice... not something I would lift every year though

Nice noid Ge, love th big blooms.
I grew those one year too Allison, just one. They are cute as heck but like you not worth lifting them year after year.
I think this is 'Dream Legacy'

like those colors!

Me too, like the double colored edge.

Pixi! I dont see the primrosed you gave me. The plants disappeared .Will thys come up in May?
I thought they stayed green all winter.

mine don't stay green all winter

OK Do you think I will see little green shoots in April?

Can't see mine yet either Ge, they are still sleeping. ^_^

OK I'll panic later.

I will go out and check what mine look like

both are just mushy messes

OK I''ll get back to you in a few weeks.Bare ground where mine are marked and its too cold an rainy to inspect further.

good news is I spotted a bunch of crocus popping up (including the saffron ones that I haven't had luck with before) & hellebore buds

Yippee!

the ret. iris come up before or after crocus?

onewish1. The retictulated iris come up around the same time as some of our crocus. However in some years a few cultivars are earlier, and some are later than the crocus. They bloom mostly from around mid March to mid April. This photo was take last April 2. Patti

I gotta get me some of those
