Early morning light coming through the trees makes thing a little magical.

Tulips still shut tight will open soon as the day warms.

A little soggy these carpet phlox still make a nice show.

The choke cheeries are blooming and also kinda smelly, not an aroma I like a whole lot.

Out back things are happy to greet the sun again too.

Looking good, Patti

I agree!!!

I like the Vinca, too

ooohh looky looky.. one of my WS'ed poppies from last year... Oregon rainbows .. check it out Celeste!!!!

is this seriously a piece of my harry?????... I know I cut some pieces off last year and stuck them all over... BUT THIS ONE???

the BH I divided last year... IT LIVES!!!

that is amazing allison - i just trimmed my red majestic may have to stick a few pieces in the ground!

WOW! As usual you folks are WAY ahead of me. Some of my crocii have passe but I do like these right now

Bill if you get one to root.. I would love a piece!!!

as I clicked send.. I realized I didn't comment to your photo D-Nut... how rude!!!

:)

love your babies!!!

This is a new grouping of tulipa that I put in. You can tell than they are 'Chopin' cuz yes ladies and gentleman there is a tag. I'm SO excited I can't stand it. I am usually chronically tagless. 'Who are you and what have you done with Dahlianut?!?!?"

love those!!!

Understand dear onewish cuz what's with that plastic thing in my latest pic?!?! OMG not only have I been replaced with a person that tags; they leave plastic debris in the garden. Ya see there was a reason I've been tagless. I was busy cleaning up plastic debris and recycling it.

Dahlianut,

I don't usually use the word "cute" to describe tulips, but they are!

Ok everyone put their refreshing beverages down cuz now we're getting into the oops. A couple of years ago in the fall placement panic I stuck some tulips in my herb/greens bed and I keep forgetting to move them so they have quadruplified. Um I hope the mustard seed that I sowed in that patch understands.

you will be back to your tag less self in no time

Ok and how funky weird is this. I transplanted these tulips into this patch and HELLO they are multiplying not into the sun but moving under the deck! What is what that! Perhaps there is a 'tulip plot'? I'm not sure but 1) tulips are tagged 2) tulips are quadruplifying in the herb garden 3) tulips are moving under the deck. I am now investigating 'tulip gangs'. One can never be too sure. Safety first as I always say.

I need to get some of those!!... mine don't do much.. I have made some bad tulip choices

onewish you have more choices than me in your zone but I have the best success with species tulips. I do have some others that propagate well. I'll put a list together of the others and dmail you. ps BEWARE they may be plotting!

LOL.. thanks!

Looks like the tulips are seeking shade, sister! That, or they're afraid of that orange rope coming to lasso them. ^_^

Yup although we have laid the conduit to run power and water to the greenhouse (and a new burbling rock bird bath/drink that I'm VERY exicted about) we haven't done that yet so the orangey powers my enviroheater in the greenhouse. I'm thinking maybe the tulips don't like the skunks. Yes Peppy Le Peu and Peppermint are back. DH is fraught. I Luv it. Not many times you get wildlife in the city. I have agreed to bag up the fruit and veggies rather than throwing then directly on the compost but I am keeping all the water sources (bird baths) full cuz they get really thirsty when they're busy making nests and feeding babies. shhh but I'm thinkin baby skunks: "Apple Blossom" and 'Stinky" are the names I've chose so far shhhhhh
