Hello everyone glad to see all of these wonderful pictures it has been awhile since ive been on here but Ive been on facebook and been on the west coast and now i started to get new plants and old ones returned as usual. I love this new way of adding pictures you can add more then one at a time i love it. Well here are some pictures of my plants and so on....James

A few from today.

JM's are Orangeola and Washi no o near the pond.

Frydek, Weeping Katsura and Peaches and Cream JM.

WOW The Peaches and Cream is wonderful.Does it stay that color all season?

No. It greens up but remains variegated.

Good to hear from you, James! Yes, Peaches & Cream is a winner!

Hi James Welcome Back!!

Victor those are great, love Frydek.

Everything is looking great!!!!


another dwarf...from you, too, Karen????

I know they are everywhere but imho violets are so cute

Thanks, everyone!

Jen, I love violets, too, but they do tend to grow in the some of the wrong places. But they are pretty. I want to get some Freckles. That iris is not from me. Sure is a pretty one. I just love the dwarfs.

Welcome back, James. What happened to your pics? There's only one. I was under the impression you were adding more.

I so want a Peaches And Cream JM. I have a Peaches And Cream daylily.

Karen

hi James.. glad you stopped in!!

The iris may be one of mine......Yippy Skippy?

ah, ok.....thanks!!!! for some reason my notes from Louise's RU are subpar

Geranium Samobor >>> Sweet Woodruff >>>>> Shade garden under cherry tree canopy >>>>> back end of berm

I think my Irises have Iris leaf spot.
I removed all damaged leaves and treated with a fungicide...hope it works!

I love the Samobor.

I have leaves on my Samobar :) Jen's yard looks very pretty.

All your hard work is showing , Jen!

trying the others

Nope, looks like Karens color primrose....it's the one color I don't have but need!! LOL
Love the golden bleeding heart and that columbine is gorgeous!!!!

the gold bleeding heart is screaming color in the dark background... just love it!!!... the columbine is the one I just bought the other day.. and thanks Karen!!!!

I have another iris blooming today

My daphne is starting to bloom.

Finally! The most gorgeous day, and the garden is springing to life. The quince is one of the first things I planted here. It's such a wonderful color when the sun hits it. I'm not sure I'd do the same thing now, I have a different idea about color in that area, but when it blooms I forget all that, and by the time everything else gets going it's finished so doesn't interfere.

In some areas hostas are up 6" or more, daffodils went from tight buds this morning to opening this afternoon. Most of the lavender is beginning to look less dead, and so is the Santolina. Some of the lupines I started from seed last year actually made it-- yippee!

Today I mostly puttered, cleaning up and weeding a little here and there but not much. I potted up the tomatoes and left them outside overnight. I know it's going to cool off again, so I'll bring them back in tomorrow. There's a flat of snapdragons outside too, but they'll go in the mini greenhouse tomorrow. They'd probably be all right out, they like it cool, but it's still so early I don't trust it.

Tomorrow morning I'll plant spinach, peas, and the lettuce and beets I started inside. In the afternoon I have to leave. But I'll be back...

Pam

Love the color on that Quince

Me too. Very nice.

Oh, my! Jen, Celeste, Allison and Pam, you all have so many pretties blooming. I have not had time to take pics. I took a bunch with my phone, but they are not uploading to my online album. There's a glitch. :-(

You're welcome, Allison! Love your golden bleeding heart. I must have one someday. Maybe this will be the year I get one.

Pam, I just love quince. I would like to get the one called 'Cameo'. I need to put up some pics of mine soon.

Karen
