2010 Garden Photos - Part 4

Nice Allison! The dwarf allegro , coral pink, Oregon rainbows and one other with 'mix' in the name all made it and are up!! Thank you!!!

some of my daffs.

spring beauties under the dogwood in the back yard.

nice allison - my golden shadows is still working on budding out.

Everything seems to be weeks early.
I'm not complaining.

here are a few more from just now that were not opened earlier

this is the base of my paper bark maple - daff's, crocus, and continous bloom bleeding hearts

and a couple from our sorry looking magnolia - blooms are nice though

this is my 2-n-1 plum tree (a yellow and a purple fruit) last year was the first year it gave fruit and only the yellow plums - this year the entire tree is COVERED in buds - 4th year in i believe - i will put netting over this after it blooms to keep the tree rats and birds away.

Nice shots everyone.

Bill I love Magnollia's, thats a beauty!

thx - only the blooms still need to do some shaping to the ragged tree that is left:)

for Victor - http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/907/

and I am so happy yours survived better than mine Celeste!!!!

nice blues Jumper... love that magnolia Bill... never heard of a continuous bloom bleeding heart..

forgot to tell you guys I was drooling over 3 in 1 cherry & apple trees at HD last week.. wish I had the room for them... I kept trying to tell Randy we can prune the apple to keep it small and he just gave me the look

:(

Phlox started blooming and I saw the first bud on my clem. niobe

The red ranunculus. They dont stay for me.

Is this a peony seedling? This is near my festiva maxima.

wow you are way ahead of me.. my phlolx still looks yucky.. love the ranunculus... no idea what your seedling is

Nice magnolia bloom, Bill.

Thanks, Allison.

Nice, Rama.

Thanks Guys. I am hoping it is a peony, although the thought crossed my mind that it could be maple seedling too.
It had been a mild winter despite the snowfall. You would be laughing I think I saw a sunflower seedling and three cosmos volunteers from last year. My 11yo daughter laughs that it is Zinnia and not the sunflower- sure she is right.

Jumper, I like where you have planted the blues...looks very natural. Jo...you have lots going on! Bill...your garden is too neat! But I love the idea of 2 diff. plums on the tree! And Rama, that seedling looks more like a maple, peonies are fernier. Allison, your hellebore is so nice.

Dawn redwood 'Ogon'.

thank you Robin... 4 years was a long time to wait for it

:)

Reticulated iris "Kathrine Hodgekins" Ric

Rama

the kids are cute Ric!

Mostly the dslr - Nikon D300S.

I recently bought a canon G10 and returned it while awaiting a g12 which apparently can shoot videos something that comes handy with the school stuff. Your pictures are beautiful Victor, great clarity.

Thanks. Can't go wrong with Nikon or Canon.

Celeste here is the mix poppy... I think

Nice macro Victor.Rain here today. We need it.
Clay soil is getting harder to dig

yes, thats what it says on the tag Allison.....I didn't know they were hardy!! So pretty, I can't wait!

Hi Celest.
I have a question about the Jap.Primroses.
I wanted to add some to my Bluestone order but noticed they like moist growing conditions.
How are yours growing?
Mine are in clay with compost and mulch.

Mine have been growing in area that gets morning sun only and is wet in the spring time, but dry the rest of the year. The shade garden has lots of organic matter in it.....I leave my leaves and fall debris in place until spring. The leaves help to keep it moist and the soil rich from the breakdown over the years. Maybe thats why I noticed at least 10 baby seedlings sprouted OUTSIDE of the shade bed this year! :o

Sounds good and very similar to where mine are.

Oooh, primrose babies! I have not noticed if mine have returned. Ric & Holly, you have little cuties...Lily goes with the gardens! All of my spuria iris made it through the winter...here's hoping they bloom.

My morning pic.Found in my studio.I couldnt touch it.
The cat showed up with it half an hour later.Interrupted my computer notes.
It's in the trash now. UGG
