Spring Blooms - 2011!!

wow, this one is really well behaved

yours is prettier too

*blushing*


I almost bought that melton fire, too

I will look if I have seed left... too bad I didn't realize that before today I could have dug you up the piece I ripped out today.. LOL.. too late

LOL

Oh and btw the Pachysandra you gave me is still behaving itself

oooohhh I can dig you lots more if you want.. everywhere I ripped it out last year... it's bbbbbaaaaaaacccccccckkkkkk

Yes, I have always had lots of bunnies. I let them eat the clover in the lawn so they leave the other plants alone.

Nice healthy looking Potentilla, and the pear tree has leaves! mine are all still twigs! lol!

Cool! saw mine today too, while I was taking the pics! ..came right up to me, lol!

Mine are not so brave.

Hard to believe we were knee deep in snow a month ago.

She's a regular visitor..

Victor, you are lucky. We have tons of clover being eaten by the cute bunnies, that are fun to watch hopping about, but also always covered with deer ticks. However they seem to also enjoy eating anything else that is green and that has been loving planted by me and seem to especial relish girding my young shrubs and chewing on all the new;y emerging iris leaves. I was hoping that the feral cats were dining on rabbit this spring, but seeing lots of evidence that the rabbits are still around in numbers that are way too high to make them totally adorable in my eyes.

WC, did you try the banana yet? Or blueberries?

Not yet, I wish I had them yesterday, my DW and I don't usually buy bananas because we usually don't eat them, they spoil too fast, (I think the last time I bought a banana was last year, when I suddenly got a craving for pancakes with bananas),
- but I'm going shopping tomorrow so I'll pick some up for 'you know who'...

"who me??" (lol)

Just one bananna will do then...the bunny will only eat a piece of about 2" at a time. I give Patches a little piece in the morning, or a leaf of green leaf lettuce. I read (somewhere) not to give them head lettece, loose leaf is better for them.
When i buy blueberries to go on our cereal I will give her 4 - 5 for breakfast also :)

Cute bun, WC.

Karen

Got it, I'm going to try with the blueberries first, that way she already knows what it is and won't ignore it. I've tried giving her carrots many times and she's passed them by, -almost tripping on them on the way to get water! She ignores them, like if she doesn't know what it is! At the moment she likes corn, works on Ethanol.. (lol)
- She knows what blueberries are though, that's for sure,.. maybe she'll leave me a few this year! ☺

- Yeah I think she's cute, makes me happy when I see her, (I was a city kid so we didn't see too many of those..), the numbers are dwindling here as the concrete spreads, used to be able to see more of them to the West towards the city but they've all but disappeared from that area now, they don't survive in an urban environment...

nice shots victor - no jm's here leafing outside - inside the garage looks pretty good though - they come out this weekend.

pretty jen

Wonderful photos, Victor & Jen, & WC.....bunnies are cute, but I sympathize with Patti, too. Never see bunnies here, my yard is fenced, & the coyotes eat them as well.....

- That's ok, I can understand both points of view.. ☺

Chantreyland viola

Wena daff

Pretty, like the Wena!

Supermarket Tulips, 20 for $7.50, 2nd year..

Ohh look! My African Daisies overwintered again here in Sunny Long Island! Yippee!

(lol!)

nice Jen & WC... I took some today as well.. ignore the blurry one

Lots of pretty blooms....really like the dark hellebores.....lungwort is blooming.....

Nice web album! Gives you all the detail stuff about the exposure too, (nvr visited a Picasa album before..), -love the hyacinths!

Jo does some wonderful picassa & smilebox presentations.

I always forget about the slideshows with music I can do... too late.. will have to do that later on

Nice shots, guys!

Two more from yesterday. Too busy to take any today.

For the first time, I had flowers on my weeping katsura. They were open in the morning. Done by the afternoon!

JM Garnet.

what a pretty color Victor

Thanks. JM Katsura is leafed out. Have to try to get a pic tomorrow before I leave.

Oh wow! I never knew they flowered, Lucky you were able to catch it!
Nice shots, - very interesting flower!

Edit: I thought it was a JM!

Not a JM. Weeping katsura is Cercidiphyllum japnicum. To confuse things, there is a JM, which I have, called Katsura.

Ugh! Well, yours is very nice..

Bonfire leafing out. It is a JM ;)

And Peaches & Cream JM
