Coming from here:

Guess we're about halfway through spring already - hard to believe! Post any photos of your beauties - foliage or flowers.

Here is 'Blushing Lady' again.

The bunch.

'Donna Bella'.

Still have daffs still opening.

'Vie en Rose'.

JM seedling.

European beech leafing out.

Narcissus 'Sir Winston Churchill' - wonderfully fragrant!

Celeste, I don't believe in all of Victor's bloomers either!!

I've always said that I don't believe in bloomers!

Victor, you are right, it is Summer Wine. I actually remembered it as being Diablo, but I found the tag in my tag box and you are exactly right...Summer Wine. LOL

Hee hee. They're close. I guessed Summer because of the tighter structure.

Bloomers or pantaloons?

my little green shade garden. spring green tulips, sweet woodruff, lilies of the valley, hosta, helebores, Solomon's seal

As I said earlier in a post, we lost a lot of our plastic planet signs over the winter. This picture is one of them that the sign is gone. Anyone care to guess what it is?

Ladies' mantle

Nice green bed, Daisy. No Green Envy echinacea??

Here's a picture of the garden. It looks like snow but it is really the flower petals from the weeping cherry tree.

Green Envy and hot pink would look so nice together.

Actually, it's name is from Mediaeval times, and it is named for the Virgin Mary, so the correct spelling is Lady's Mantle. It looks like the capelets worn in those days. Here is a pix. Chartreuse flowers, gorgeous.

Yes, it's one of my faves. Love the 'quicksilver' quality of the water drops.

Victor, I like those Green Envy echinacea, but do you think they'd work in the shade?

Probably not. They do need at least four or so hours of sun. More for better bloom.

Dogwalker, I love it when the flower petals fall all over the ground like that and look like snow.

No signs of life on Green Envy here yet.


My weedy viola is open

I have a smattering of tulips

Was Green Envy new for you last year, Al?

Yes, it was pretty healthy all year so I'm not worried yet. After Midnight that flowered and then declined looks like a goner. I will generalize and say that Terra Nova plants are 'tougher' than Big Sky ones.

My Pink Double Delight looks like it has returned fine.

I would imagine, Razz and Coconut Lime are up already here.

great pictures today everyone... been outside all day working... will post my photos tomorrow... hurts so good but i am going to pass out now... night

beautiful pictures all, but now you guys just have to watch the show all over again for us more northern people...Lets see... here we are- quince blooming

some frits...

hellebore getting fluffier and fluffier as time goes by- love that fluff.

some really goofy looking n. bulbocodium- or what ever they are- too tired to look them up... from Brent and Becky's. they are really tiny.

epimidiums begining-

some tulips

and a swath of violets.............

time for bed... here's my last- primrose- dawn amsel. goodnight!

ohhhh...... I'm always up for another show! It's a good one! I always like seeing hellebores.... 3rd, 4th, 50th time.... it doesn't matter.

love the "green garden" daisy. don't think that I've really seen one before. A friend of mine has a phlox david that threw out some green flowers a few years ago. We divided it from the rest of the plant and it's been growing green every since. last years cuttings were actually coming along really well until the sprinkler system went down and no one noticed that they dried out and died. So, we're going to try for some more cuttings this year and see how it goes. The parent plant is actually almost large enough to divide again. So, I assume we should keep you in mind for when the cuttings take off? It might need a sunnier location though.

love the rainy tulips, pixie!

I wish I had more cherry trees so I could have pink snow that's warm!

Victor.do you have a plant "wish list"? or do you just have everything (that's hardy)? :-p


Only a couple more work pics today.
