Spring is Here!

Well, I didn't think it would ever happen, bit there are signs of Spring in my yard. My first 2005 Crocus!

Yay Wanda...it's just the beginning...

And little baby Autumn Joy Sedum...

And pregnant daffodils

I still have some later daffodils blooming - my Sir Winston Churchills are coming out! We're rolling towards Iris time here.

My iris reticulatas are in bloom along with crocus and I to have pregnant daffs

Now why do I NOT have any iris reticulas? How could I have missed them?
I see hyacinths breaking ground & alliums & dutch iris. I'm a bit behind you.

Yea for Wanda! Your spring has sprung! ;-) Now I get to see more Daffodils since mine are almost all done.

Steve, those Sir Winston Churchills are gorgeous!

Lilyfan, I just love the iris reticulatas....they're so cute! Gonna have to get some of those for next year.

Wanda torture ~

Muwaahahahaahaa....

LOL Moby - I am surprised they are emerging this early in your area.

Thanks mgh :-) I am beginning to like them a lot, and they perennialize well.

I am too, Steve! The Blackjacks are breaking ground also. The ones posted above are in a fairly protected area.

I have some Blackjacks too, Moby - but they're still small.

Here are some Hillstar narcissus that not only look nice but smell great!

Here come the Liliums and Irises!

Moby, knock it off. You'll make me have lily envy!

Got off work early today to dig & trim iris in my garden . 70 degrees & birds singing. Even popped a 10 lilies in a bed I didn't think had room. Surprised myself. Warm again tommorrow and then thundershowers tommorrow night. Sounds good to me. And the new lilies will love it...

I thought I would join in the celebration of spring...with some Anemone and Fritillaria

Steve...I love your Daffs! Mine are still young clumps...but getting there..:)

These were new to me this year...Narcissus 'Cheerfulness'...talk about a name fitting a plant!! :o)

Color is popping open all around me now. These are some April 1 daffs

And here are some crocus under the River Birch in my front yard.

Nice pics, Jamie and Sue! Thanks for sharing.

Moby, Naked ladies were popping up all over my yard this weekend! Do you think the neighbors will notice??? I've got Daffodils blooming and all kinds of goodies coming up. I LOVE Spring!

YEA! Shh...maybe nobody will notice the Naked Ladies....

Hi Mendy! As a mater of fact... Yes, I have! I have been inspired to try to take good shots by the many photographers here on DG whose pics I admire often.... I am practising and trying to capture better shots... :))

Hi Starr! You're doing a great job, that's for sure!

The Truth::: My new digital camera makes me look better than I am.... ;) ... but I am still practising...
