The one in the foreground? Doesnt look like a delph, could be echinacea.

that's a possibility too .. might be something I WS'ed last year... if I didn't tag it.. whatever they are... they are all pretty big and healthy looking

Lots of pretty pics again today. I will post a few from this morning. First is 'Stairway To Heaven. I really like this plant.

I agree not a delph. Could be a echinacea or a heliopsis. It sure does look happy what ever it is.

A look at the far end of the back garden. You can see the new four posts are installed. They still need to be plumed up and the coated wire stapled on.

Looking the other way.

The newly mulched circle and back slope gardens with peony buds looking on.

Looks great, Pat!! You should be proud.

ngam, lots of peony buds getting ready...nice!

Looking good, Pat!

beautiful gardens Patti ... guess I have to wait and see what happens with the noid

Really great pics, everyone! WC, I can't believe the size of that Japanese Fern! Mine seem to stay exactly the same size, year after year. (which is not that big!)

I have tons of these popping up all over the place. I guess they are kind of weedy, but they are charming, too. Canadian Mayflower, I think they're called

little cuties

They are cute.


Trollius (the ones I just planted)

Baby robins getting big

Pretty much the last rhody cluster

Love those baby robins! Wow, I don't we have any rhodies blooming here yet. Shouldn't be long now.

Shot of blue, yellow and white in my b, y, w garden

wow your shastas are blooming already????

Yeah it's crazy I have a lot of real early blooms. I'm wondering if I won't have anything blooming late this year????

have to get some annuals just in case

I think I'm gonna tempt fate and plant the annuals outside in the next day or two.

This hosta is so pretty this year- Tom Schmid

I'm going to spread some seed around this week too. Zinnias especially.

That's a nice hosta, nor! Nice form and leaf .

Nice colors, Jen. Can't believe the shastas already. You're in a hot zone!

Yeah this year. but not last year seemed I was a week or 2 after everyone.

I just dug some of mine up... they are still only 5 or 6 inches tall... pretty amazing Jen

I can't get over how a zone or two makes such a difference! Look at all the beautiful blooms Jen & Weeze have!!!
Noreaster, thats a lovely Hosta...never heard of that one before.
