Celeste my first thought on you bloom was 'Hatsu Arashi'
You will be smitten with the blues! They are my favorites, the spectrum of all the colors are great but the blues...yum!

Beautiful assortment of sunflowers Pixie

Thanks for the links and names, i'll never figure it out but if it comes out blue i'll be happy :)
Dirtygirl, thats a lovely bloom and how lucky you are to have more buds!!

Thank you Patootie, i'll pass that on to my Grandaughters too, they will be pleased.

pixie - Enjoy it regardless of it's name! I too loved those deep blue blooms the first time I grew them! And they still delight me years later! :-)

I love blue and those are stunning!!!!

pixie - :-)

More garden blooms ... my coral honeysuckle vine and crossvine bloom together every Spring. Makes the hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees happy! And provided a pretty view for me! :-)

My first poppy bloom of the year! Yay!!!

wow pixie at the mg list and the flowers.

Pixie, Jackie, and Marie - Thanks! :-)

pixie - You have a wonderful selection of JMGs! Glad you are getting excited about Spring! :-) Your list looks pretty tame compared to mine. LOL!

Can't wait till youost some pics of those MG's pixie! Your yard is going to be beautiful.

Thanks Imzadi Becky & Dem, i'm looking forward to growing them but am trying to figure out what I will use for them to climb. I already have a fence that I use, trellis and I think i'll have DH string some chicken wire type fencing on the side of the shed this year. Maybe i'll cover the whole thing. LOL

I do have something that bloomed here for me this week.....
My 1st grandson, Charles Thomas was born tues. ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

Now that's a beauty! A new gardener has been born!

Thanks Dem.
Oh yes, my hubby bought him a silver piggy bank in the shape of a TRACTOR with his initials engraved on it. He put Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea, and several 2011 half dollars in it to go towards the purchase of his 1st tractor. LOL

pixie - You have some great ideas there for your MG vines! I look forward to seeing photos later this year! :-) Congrats on your new grandbaby! What a cutie! LOL about the piggy bank! :-)
