Spring Blooms - Part 4

Very pretty, I like the light shinning through the petals. Big smiles was the reaction I had too Candyce.

my 1st tulips to bloom - white emperors on Monday...

That's a bummer Bill. Same for me with one - Corallinum. I got it last spring and let it get too much sun while still in a black container. Lost all its leaves. I planted it in the fall but it has not returned. It's part of my six-JM underplanting of my large JM so I will have to replace it. Probably in the fall. Good luck with yours - hope they recover. I'm happy for my warm temps because the trees over the Uki are now leafing out.

Congrats Amy and Candyce. Nice backlighting, Candyce!

and the 1st bloom on my HD rescue phlox from last summer - bought after it had finished blooming, i've never seen it till yesterday!

yeah Candyce & Amy!.... very nice

I am playing with a new camera, can you tell....
here's the last one for today

Beautiful shots everyone!
Laurel, don't be intimidated. I'm famous for my poor photography.

Here's some new ones I took today.
American dream tulips

One of only 2 inherited red tulips. Don't know what kind they are.

Early rhodie

Just recieved my Hallsons order three ferns and a bonus included. Is this a great country or what?
Didn't take a picture nuttin to see except little green buds where they will unfold,no doubt.
Planted the Jap. Painted burgundy under a bush, hope it's shady enough. The Dre's Dagger can take a bit more sun so it's further along the bed. They included a bonus "encourage" havnt decided where to put it.
Yahoo I planted something, now to wait for UPS .Should be here within the hour.

Purissmo(sp?) tulips

flower drift daffs, love the scent!

great pictures Jen & Sharran... Jen I am shocked to see your rodie blooming... it amazes me every year how far behind we are north of you

Great shots! Love the phlox and wisteria, Sharon. Jen, great tulips. Is that a regular rhodie or azalea? Very nice. Amazing change from yesterday to today! I'll try to get some photos in a while. I am SORE!!

I GOT IT.
Take a look at the sun glinting off those fiddleheads. That's Dre's Dagger. That's what I'm talkin about !!!!! :)
It's all good Jo Ann

Looks great! (Psst - you need to post the photo^_^)

Yep here it is

Congrats, Jo Anne!

not bad for a Nikon Coolpix 4300.
I only use it for pictures of my paintings and prints to keep a record, but the closeup feature really works good.
Bluestones order came. Hope everything makes it

my coreopsis perked up today from my order

This my first time mailordering perennials from anywhere but White Flower F. Their quality had gone down in the past few years, I just gave up and only bought locally.
After finding DG I don't think I'll ever shop anyother way. Besides the variety is great.
Bluestone suggests the plants should sit for a day or so to rest then plant. I watered them and they are looking better already. I'll garden Sunday.

I usually give them a day or two in the shade.... then move em slowly into the sun

JM 'Mikawa Yatsubusa'.

Thanks Allison! Here's another daff.

I put the plant hoops on my crown imperials today... whew do they stink... glad that's away from the house

Took this one while working - a lot of old houses have big scilla beds.

wow that's amazing Al

Thanks - the neighbor had a lawn full, the best view of them I couldn't get from the sidewalk, here is a side view.
