Ge.....Love your walkway, shade garden, bear, lilies, poppies, iris, etc., etc.. Just a magnificent setting in all directions. Thanks for the tour.

Thanks
Help yourself to any ideas you see.Lord knows I have gleened pleanty from Daves

Pretty Jo! That brightened our rather dreary cold day here!

Very nice!

I figured people had time on their hands.

Those lilies just broke my heart!

Thanks for the garden tour, Jo. Just what I needed to nurse a cold.

great show

thanx

Beautiful flowers, Roses, especially the lilies. I'm jealous that you don't have the lily beetles. I use Monterey Garden Insect Spray with spinosad to combat them, an organic product. Has to be sprayed as soon you you notice the beetles, then maybe once or twice more during the season. Lilies need checking periodically for the adults and larvae. If any are spotted, the spray again. Hosing them off helps, too. The larvae do much more damage than the adults.

Nice garden tour, Jo.

Celeste, those phlox are beauties.

Iris, nice shot of that 'Elfin Shadows'.

Here are some lily shots from last summer. Can't wait till they bloom again this year.

Thanks Jen.

LOVE the deep blue

Me too. Mine are not that blue. Need more acid in the soil.

Karen

Hoping I see these this year...last year we had that one really hot spell before they should have bloomed and they never did

that is tulipa Humilis'alba coerula oculata'

Just an observation on the Nino weather.
I think the mild winter has spared my shrubs and plants from deer this winter. They probably have enough to eat in the woods.
They trimmed down a Hydrangea PeeWee last winter. It was so pretty in regroath that I might just trim it myself this year.

yep probably

Love those white lilies, Karen...they really glow in the garden....

Beautiful tulip, Jen. I planted some "Ice Cream" tulips last year but I didn't see them come up.

Some unusual ones did though.

Very pretty!

Thanks, Pixie.

I like this one too.

Yes, those are very cheery.

Very nice!

Thanks, Marilyn.

Very nice, Jen and Roses!

Karen

Very pretty, Lucy and Celeste.
