Spring Blooms - 2011!!

Thanks Karen
Bill those are nice shots. I love the skeletal JM's

well just for you here is one that i did a massive trim on.

Nice, Bill.

nice blooms all

the only primrose that keeps coming back

glory of the snow

Loved the photos...well, not so much the snake! No trimming of my JMs necessary...the deer ate plenty!

daffs

Very cheery primrose, Deb!

cheating

Yes, but look at the great color you have! I need to get some potted daffs for my art class this week....

If it's not Martinette I def need to contact Brent and Becky's cause that's what I ordered

LOVE that pic of the crocus ring around Donny

Primrose always this early??

That primrose is usually the first to bloom here

flowAjen, I am sure they will make it right. Martinette blooms in early May for me while N.Cassata blooms this month.

My Narcissus Largo is out. Not my favorite, like Narcissus Sagitta which is a beauty. Patti

This tulip had me puzzled as the center was black and not yellow. Love the black, but it took me forever to figure out that this is a variation of the one with the yellow center and that it didn't just magically appear in the garden. Patti

Tulipa humilis var. violacea

Another dark Hellebore. Helleborus x hybridus Ruse Black. Patti

Lots of bees out working today. Crocus vernus Twilight. Patti

Love it!

Beauties!!

Thanks, still no big show yet, but the garden is loaded with possibilities. A few more in a collage from today. Patti

I am losing my mind!!!!!

I have Martinette but it's on the other side of this bed...planted 2yrs ago...this is from April 2010

This one in front I just planted last fall but I have no idea what it is....maybe a bonus from someone??? I am usually so good at keep records...this is driving me nuts!!!

I ordered from B&B last year My Story and Mary Gay Lirette which this is def NOT

I just went back and read the info on Mary Gay Lirette
from B&B
"this blossom opens with a yellow cup, quickly turning salmon, folding back against white petals"

so what do you think??? could it be Mary Gay Lirette? Just hasn't turned salmon????

I have something that looks very similar, but I'm really bad at keeping records.

You don't know how crazy this is making me!!!!

Bill: great trim job.The nekkid tree form just fascinates me,almost better than when leafed out.

Great shots Debi & Patti

wow lots of photos I missed yesterday... lots & lots blooming already!!!

Peonies growing fast each day, have to say much later this year.

amazing.. mine are not even sticking up a little.. well as of sat anyway

Pattie's purple crocus and Jen's daff with the orange center is beautiful. Bill you have done a beautiful trim, is that a JM?
These are the blues I got from eflowergarden last fall, waiting to see how they bloom, my soil is acidic, rarely have blues that stay blue.

Oops, meant to say alkaline soil.

My annual panzy fix from gromore

Not crazy, as you figured it out. Here is my Narcissus Mary Gay Lirette in the two phases. And here is the pictures on Daffseek Patti

Very nice, ladies!

Jen, if it's any comfort, I thought you lost your mind long ago. ^_^

Just looked to the left and saw these,opened duering the night

Ge1836, nice group. Name?

Victor, I may have found it yesterday. Patti

store bought in a pot, dont remember.

Thanks, Victor!!!!

Thank you Patti!!! I love you!!!!

flowAjen, Ha, gone through the same conundrum over a few myself. I grow one called Narcissus Colblanc which had me so confused. It has started to open. The photo of the closed bloom was taken yesterday, while the other two are from other years. Patti
