Spring Blooms - Part 7

this is the coolest bloom. The spelling might be a mess.
Rhody stenopetalum linearifolium. Yep, it sure is a rhododendron. Strangely enough, it goes will with JM Koto no ito!

This one is mine. E.A. purple dragon.

this is very weird. i'm posting a picture of Rhody "hallelujah" and the song 'Hallelujah' was just being played on the t.v.

Just a tulip at a friends place.

Very nice Sjms & RC

Love all the new blooms, very pretty!

I sprayed the big patch of these in the back (this photo is from the front)... so excited the deer damage wasn't too bad... looks like 3 or 4 were only effected after the chow down.... more coming soon

close up

is kale supposed to be a perennial???... I was too lazy to dump out the pots (some might remember the side planted kale basket from last year, that I got made fun of).... well two are coming back to life and I am shocked

Beautiful pics. Very nice tulip, Sara. rc, topping my wish list is more space. I'm considering a trade with Celeste! Love that rhody. Looking great, Allison. Keep spraying!

one of the side ones

Everyone has such beautiful blossoms and blooms!
Sarah, even YOU have more blooming than do I!!

I'll get out later today though, because we have tulips just now showing some color, and the anemone, and yes, the daffs. The crocus are all done blooming.

We have vigorous green growth on everything that survived the winter, and with today's sunshine, I am looking for a growth spurt!

I have been waiting all winter for this.
Green Parott

Looks great, Jo Anne.

Green Parrott is neat! I've just been waiting for some color....not picky at this point.

Species tulip......love the foliage on these.

Creeping phlox

Some reds & yellows

Trillion

Green Parrot is from J.Sheepers

I walked around the corner of the GH and I "think" I saw a humming bird. It was greenish blueish, blackish. It was after a rose that has bloomed. It flew fast so I did not get a real good look but I will lean towards HB.

Thats what it was. A Ruby throat no doubt.
They love red anything and will come to the red hummingbird feeders filled with sugar water.

Looks great, Celeste! Long time coming wasn't it? Love the species tulip and the trillium.

Here's alpine columbine about to open...

...and open.

Peachy Cream rose partially open...

Winky Double Blue and White columbine.

Hybrid hellebore foliage opening up.

Muscari.

Dogwood.

New pieris foliage.

Shirley.

Final shot of Blushing Lady.

Last one - JM Shigitatsu sawa. I have two of these (by mistake) and this one looks very different than the other, which leafed out about 10 days ago and was much greener.

Oops - the open Peachy Cream did not go through. Here it is.

WOW that is beautiful.

Thanks. It's a new one for me. Supposed to have disease resistant foliage and not require deadheading. Supposed to bloom through frost. We'll see.
