Gorgeous day today so outside cleaning beds and taking pics
First flower of the year on Grace Ward Lithodora

Snow drop almost ready, these are in part shade, I'm sure if they were in full sun they would have opened sooner

Hellebore getting there

Tulip growth

Love seeing all the green growth

Jealous!!!!!

jen there is 3' of snow here!

Really very sorry

I even had snow today. Patti

Jen those are such a treat.

I'm moving to southern Jersey!

it must be wonderful.
on the other hand i dont want to live in Calgery Alberta

I see some daylily growth in my garden, peaking out of the snow!

I saw some here too until the last 10 inches covered everything.
The deer are eating the tips as soon as they appear.

Wanting some green here. Rain today is melting more snow. Woohoo! I have to get out and see if my witch hazels are blooming. I'm sure they are. I saw a yellow one in bloom in a neighboring town yesterday.

Karen

Nothing is blooming here.....this snow will never melt!

I went to check on my witch hazels. Had to trudge through 2' of snow to get out there. I should have put on snow shoes, as I kept sinking down. Anyhow, the species one is blooming away, but my Diane has so few blooms it's pathetic. Very disappointed. Last year it was loaded. Don't know what happened this year.

Karen

Maybe deer, bunnies?

Snow drop almost there....

Crocus...woo hoo!!!!!

jen are you starting again? :)

hee hee

Nothing blooming here, not even the witch hazel!

Not only is nothing blooming, all the shrubs that have appeared look awful.....

Jealous!!!!

Thanks to Pixie, here's the Blue Mystique orchid we saw in Maine at Longfellow's Greenhouse last week.

Oh Thank you Pirl...these were just amazing to look at. They just didn't seem real, yet they were.

Stunning!

One more for you. They were beautiful but also struck me as too unnatural and since the color will only last through three bloom cycles I feel it must be artificially induced.

Yes, but it's the magic it creates as the elusive blue flower......

Yes, magical and mysterious...like the Black Dahlia.

Oh, that ended bad....lets not go there.

Robin for common, but pretty TB pink irises, look for Beverly Sills. Vanity, its parent is pink as well but has dreadful foliage.

Jo, maybe deer or bunnies did eat the blooms on the witch hazel, but if they did, then they didn't leave any nibble marks that I could see.

Wow, that blue orchid is amazing!

Jealous of your blooms, Jen.

Karen

Karen : I was just jumping in with nonsense.

Thanks, Iris......I will look for Beverly!
