poppy collage

Love that color harmony, Jo Ann.

Those Venus poppies are hardy. They germinate sooner and have a larger % of germination I have ever seen.

Very nice, Jo....the pinks are great in that collage....

Nice poppies, Jo. I need to get some seeds started of those.

Just sprinkle them in the soil right now, Karen....they are easy to grow.....I have Calif. poppies in my veggie garden from last year.....

Grape 's

Pretty Ge!

last year but still nice,thanks

Well they should be popping up THIS year, very soon I would think. :)

thry are up,not bloomed yet

What do they look like Jo? I sprinkled some seeds early spring.

This is the Creamy daffs and what will be the grape hyiasenths.
The deer have eaten the top 2 inches,I hope the buds werent up yet.

they did that to mine last year.. I got lucky they didn't get the blooms

Thats what I'm thinking.

Hopefully they didn't get the blooms. Deer or rabbits are finally getting my crocuses.

Will try some poppies this year. Tried last year, but it was so hot and dry I couldn't keep them watered enough.

Here is a great Fritillaria raddeana that just keeps getting better, taken yesterday. Patti

ooohh I love it Patti.. seems my crown imperials took a pooper... only see one poking up out of several I have planted over the years.. think I am done with them.. even though I love them

Onewish1, I have not had much luck with the F.crown imperial either, but am trying some this fall in a different spot after giving up for a few years. Patti

I planted one set normal... and one set on it's side to keep the water out of the depression.. made no difference

:(

My Frits are up but no blooms yet. I want to plant more for next year.

oppps forgot my pic.
