Garden Photoe 1 per day 2011 #2

Heck NO Jen!! LOL I have 5ft of snow still.

Wishful thinking...Huh?

Love that DL color, Patti.

Serviceberry.

Neat pic!

Pixie...but it still was so beautiful. I doubt I'll ever tire of the beauty of snow on trees, not when the ice builds up the pressure and breaks limbs.

rudbeckia bloom

joann it happens to me all the time - don't worry about it:)

about 3 ft of snow left here, sigh. Need an iris to cheer me up.

MDB Quogue

Just opened today

Jealousy abounds here! I'll have to take a walk around and see if there are any surprises for me.

Magnifying glass again, Jen? ^_^

That one's about an inch across

Jen are your ears ringing when I look at your photo... and my mound of snow???

Stopped at a friend's condo today.....she had 3 hyacinths up about an inch......I still can't see my garden!

I know where the snowdrops are (most of them). they are where the snow off the walk & driveway corner is piled up.

Guess i'll have to take some pictures of my snow mounds....will be lucky to see ground by Easter!

Blue Orchid where are you? I've been waiting all day!

So sorry, Pixie! I'll post it tomorrow (provided I remember).

Some daffodils are 4" high while others are just an inch or two - probably just the fall growth they always have.

Yes but it's a positive sign, one I long for! LOL

How could I have guessed that???

^_^

LOL Allison

No close ups for awhile.
I love June

Its early so I'm posting this.
from Fine Gardening photo of the day.
Longview Gardens spring. Why didnt I plant alliums.

another shot of the delphs

Those are gorgeous

thanks the front one was seed grown... the background was purchased

Yea, the primrose are in the nursery now. I just love these. It's so nice to look out on a cold day and see their cheery faces. They don't mind the cold, but they sure don't do well inside the house where it's warm. This is one of my window boxes on the front porch.

Another sign of spring.
The catkins are out on the WaterBirch

ooohhhh drool!!!!

Very nice!

A favorite, everyone should have at least one bleeding heart.

Wonderful photos, everyone. Well, no wonder you love spring, Jo Ann, with a view like that! I added to my allium collection in early December, never thinking they'd arrive the next week. They did and I squeezed in the time to get them planted.

Now, here's the blue orchid with the name of 'Blue Mystique', which Pixie wanted me to post:

Wow. A true blue orchid??

Yes and no....Pirl dug up this info on it...

"Through a patented process, the orchid is transformed into a remarkable
blue shade which will last 2-3 bloom cycles before fading to its
original white."


"Welcome the debut of the world's first blue orchid, "Blue Mystique."

"First unveiled in January of this year by Silver Vase Orchid Growers,
we are very excited to add it to our beautiful collection of orchids for
sale. The flowers are not dyed but rather, the plants are put through a
lengthy process to induce the blue color."

Agh- that doesn't count! I can do better with a white one and blue food coloring!

But you should see it in person....that info doesn't phase me when i'm staring straight at it. ^_^

Like me with silicone boobs. ^_^
