yes it did!!!

I'm not likeing this new format on Picasa.I used to be able to find files from anywhaere and pin them.Then create the album. Now Picasa only allowes me 10 files before it closes what I have chosen with the next file choice being the only one shown.I loose the 10 I had.I will get it eventually but my albums will be Smilebox from now on.

yeah sometimes change is not good

Love the bright orange cup on the daff!

Sometimes a feeebee is just wonderful.

Wow! How did a miss a whole thread? I don't know, but I'm gonna go out and take some pics to post, then I'll be back and put them up.

Karen

My friend saw this at the flower show in NY, wants to know what it is.
Anyone know???

Jen, I'm thinking you might have gotten those primulas from me. I have quite a few. Can't remember now if I brought some to the RU, but I probably did. I have a white hellebore I got from someone at the RU that is blooming really well this year. I just love it.

That flower looks like some sort of bromeliad, Jen.

Patti, I didn't know you were from Cuba. I would love to visit someday. Would also love to visit Puerto Rico. I love Cuban music.

Here are some blooms and such at my place. The first two pics are of pushkinia, the third is andromeda, and then a couple shots of some nice antique shop finds that will become planters.

so glad to see the hellebore made it Karen!!!!.. if it's in a happy spot it will spread nice!!

Beautiful blooms, Karen....really love the dark hellebores!

Hey, I was going to say that too! Karen's May apples are very advanced. Mine are either late or I killed them this year.

That was from you, Allison? Thanks! I had forgotten who I got it from. I love it!

Thanks, guys!

Karen

yes.. one of my favs.. mine seems to be more green here.. and have another.. I gave 1/2 to you and 1/2 to Celeste

Thanks Karen for the primula...I'll make sure I notate that it came from you

Lovely Karen! Can't believe your two states away and have that much blooming!!

My lilies are toast for this year with so many frosts.
This is about the only saveing grace. Dew on the JM's

Lovely pics, ladies!

love shots of jm's :)

you have a lot going on there karen!

Speaking of JM's Bill, I thought of you and Victor....this was outside my Hotel and in full flowering mode.

How beautiful

Wow....would love to see mine looking like that!

wow very pretty

It only seems like a lot of blooms from the pics, but they're scattered around, so it's really not all that much. This month will see even more, and, of course, next month things will really be jumping. Everything is so early this year. There won't be much blooming come July, except annuals. I may have to put in some marigolds for late color. I'll get some seeds instead of plants to save money. Will sow them in May. They grow pretty quickly.

Jo, sorry to hear about your lilies. All the magnolias in the area got hit pretty hard by a couple of night time freezes, so they're all looking sad. Also my white forsythia's blooms got damaged as well. What can you do?

Celeste, is that a maple? Sure is pretty!

Karen

Yes a J. Maple, it was huge!!!

Nice!

Any ideas what this is? I have a TON of them coming up in about a 2' square
At first I thought it was a foxglove but I pulled a piece off to compare with the foxgloves I have and it doesn't match. The foliage has no scent
