Your Garden Shots - One Per Day

don egolf red bud

Shigatatsu sawa - which means - "snipes quacking, flying up from a swamp" - of course any snipes out there already knew that.

uh oh

No extras, Bill!

Yes, but I liked the snipe reference.....Buzzy the birdman had his scope set up on the dam a few years ago, & I got to see snipe!

making up for the days i am at work home boy - might drop 8 tomorrow:)

These were taken Feb 26 2009
They are just peeking thru snow now.

those are always a welcome sight JoAnn!!

Nice pix Allison.
I want more hellebores

thanks... that spot has 2 and they just seem to get bigger and bigger every year... one of the few good soil spots I have

Wildflower in the park, no idea what it was other than pretty!

Nice ninebark and redbud Victor. Pretty "Snipe" JM too Bill. Gotta love those snowdrops and a nice combo of heuchs and hellebores Allison.
Considering the current conditions outside I am so looking forward to spring like everyone else. This is from last April.

What a pretty little flower luvsgds, very unusual. Love the color.

Jo Ann - that's a gorgeous photo and a very welcome sight! Happy Birthday! There's a thread up to celebrate it.

Nice big plants, Allison, and they do increase quite a bit each year.

Pretty purple, Luvs, and nice spring sight, Pat.

Here's one of your poppies to celebrate the day, Jo Ann.

I like that wildflower too Ronnie...

Pirl the purple one has been there for a few years .. it's a noid from Michele.. I now have it all over my property and shared quite a few... the one in the middle is heucherella stoplight .. maybe going on it's 3rd year.. will have to see how that one spreads... but if you want some of the purple I already have some dug and potted.. can ship them to you in spring.. if those make it.. if not I can always dig you some once they wake up

Ge, I love those snowdrops! I need some, would you believe i've never tried them?
Nice combo Allison, love the lenten rose.
Not sure what your wildflowers is Ronnie, but it's lovely.
Pretty tulips Pat.
Pirl, thats a beautiful combo, I want to pick that poppy seedhead! LOL

A nice dark DL to go with the dark thoughts im having about the snow coming. :)

Thanks, Allison. First please let me know how tall they get. I love the color.

To all - I have loads of the poppies shown (Heirloom - a mix of colors) from Jo Ann last year. I saved the seeds and have far too many. Postage is all I ask for in return for seeds.

(Celeste - I only have one group of snow drops and that had to be a gift from the birds.)

maybe around 8"

Nice pics today!
I planted some snow drops in the fall, looking forward to them.
Here are some daffs.

How cheery, Deb....I've never tried snowdrops, either...always admire my neighbor's....an iris....

Great shots, all. Pirl, lovely combo of astilbe and poppy! Bill, I love the coloring of the Shigatatsu sawa. I'm so looking forward to spring!

Here's a cozy combo of epimedium, ajuga, brunnera and trillium

Love everyone's pics. So cheery with all this weather that's dreary!

Karen

Magnolia 'Leonard Messel'

Allison - thanks and yes! I'll pay postage happily.

Lovely spring photos!

That magnolia makes my list for this year, Karen. Thanks for the great photo.

No catch-up feature, Bill! Other working people seem to be able to follow directions. ^_^

Wow - the blooms seem to be getting better!

Mophead hydrangea.

oh all I need is a reminder Pirl... since I owed you a hydrangea that didn't make it.... from a couple years ago

nice Victor

Reports of my memory lapses are not exaggerated, Allison. I have no memory of the hydrangea at all.

Great photo and great lighting as well as a beauty, Victor.

Love the Mophead!

fernspray gold

Oooh....love that color! Also would really like to have that magnolia, Karen.....how tall does it grow? Nice combo SOJ, and love the mophead, Victor.....

Marilyn, that magnolia gets to 25' tall. Mine is only about 6' now, maybe shorter. Can't remember if it's taller than me or not. I will have to move it this year, as it will get too big for the spot it's in. I have a perfect spot for it. by the road where I just had an ash tree removed, and will be removing a big choke cherry from there, too. I've been waiting for those to go so I can put something nice in there.


Karen

Forsythia

Bill, I have just the spot for that Fernspray Gold false cyprus. I would so love to have one. That's going on my list.

Karen

Macro of creeping phlox

Nice, Jen! Can't wait for spring. My vacation will make me yearn for it even more. I'm hoping to see some cacti in bloom in AZ, but it might be a bit soon for that.

Karen

Nice shot Jen, love the water drop!
Beautiful shots all!

Wood Sorrel

These are my Lime Sorbet Aqullegias

Nice! Those are tall like my pink Nora barlow's.

Yep. They dont seem to be spreading or reseeding.OK by me I have your Hens and Chicks sowed with them.

Love the mophead, Victor. And Bill, that fernspray gold is cool!

Here's Venosa Violacea

beautiful shaded color
