The Oriental Poppies.Last June

The ones that hang over the lawn were moves late last summer,
When they say give them 3 feet ,they mean it.

like those poppies joann

i move a few last year because they were too big so close to a jm. still in the same bed - now i have babies popping up where they use to be planted - not what i wanted:)

My gram always had Oriental poppies.....what do you do to hide the old foliage?

Hate to say this but I round-up where the teeny rootas left from transplanting ,insist on comming up. Mine were too close to the edge and the lawnmower lady aka DD,was peeved no end.

i plan to do the same joann

I have one Hellebore plant from Karen's Round Up 2 years ago. It's small but growing.

Love them, Andy, and see them often while cleaning.

Anemone and Chinatown tulip

Sunlover nearly open

Andy I like you Pasque Flower so much...I bought one! LOL

Jen is your hyacinth 'Jan Bos"? I bought and planted mine a year or 2? ago. This was taken yesterday.

What a great violet color, Pixie.

Thanks Pirl

Good luck with the Pasque, Pixie. The bloom time is so short, mine is almost done in 10 days.
There is a ton of creeping Vinca under my trees both in front and in the back yard. Sarah uses it as her 'go place' which doesn't hurt them at all.
Andy P

I don't think anything gets rid of vinca! But I like it.....That purple hyacinth glows, Pixie.

another shot of jm otome zakura!

Great color.....mine still not fully leafed....

Celeste, my Hyacinth was Woodstock

I am waiting for the scented yellow double tulips to open.

They sound very different....will love to see them!

Last years Tree Peony
Cousin is here from Maine. I'll be MIA until Thursday.

Pretty peony, have a good visit Ge!

Love it! Have fun, Jo.....

very nice peony

I'm feeling fine Pirl. The 1 year anniversary is 2 weeks away. The only thing that shows beside the zipper scar is my long hair which has not been cut since last August.
Jen, things should be later this spring. No heat waves.
Todays pic is of a Canna just before it got planted yesterday.
Andy P

Nature is just so beautiful. Great shot, Andy, and glad to hear you're mended and zipped.

It was almost 90° for almost a week down here but maybe had to be in the 90's or hotter longer

Amazing shot Andy!
