could be worse MP

Mock Orange spilling down bank at Maypop.

Oops!

This is for YankeeCat...sorry, but while trying to learn how to focus, I realized (too late) that I was shooting with the automatic focus on. You'll get the idea though.

One more...

New to this group, just thought I'd share a few photos. Almond blossom, still trying to identify exact variety. 4/22/08

Dogwood 5/1/08

Welcome Dyane. Nice to see more NYers! Beautiful shots!

Nice dogwood DG.

Laurel - Tulip trees are a novelty here - I know where 1 is.

Anyone else have tulips yet? LOL

Jacob's Ladder Polemonium 'Blue Pearl' 5/1/08

Victor - My WalMart Japanese Maples made it through the winter again - not as nice as yours though. I'm not disappointed with the foliage of Black Lace - the form is a challenge.

Nice tulips, Al! Yes, the form and the blooms.

Here's a different view of Forest Pansy.

Here are my early tulips, Al.

Welcome Dyane. Love the almond.

Al, your so bad :).

Laurel

Welcome Dyane! Love your shot of the dogwood from behind.
I have Black Lace also. I like it and wear it as often as possible.

Hee hee. Better not ask about shots from behind...

Welcome Dyane!
If you ever need rescuing from this bunch - just holler!

Well I hope that does not preclude frequent watering Venu. It could get rank.

L

great shots everyone & welcome dane

Victor these are the two azaleas I ordered ... not even close to what I have... even though it's pretty

onewish-bluestone is great just let them know they'll send a replacment. I just got my replacements today of some that didn't make it thru the winter.

Dyane-love the color of that almond blossom.

Anyone know if this is a weed???

Here are some azalea blossoms, don't know what kind, it came with the house.

My first columbine, ever.

Forgot to say that was 'Ruby Port'
and the last for today stella d'oro daylily

Good morning Jo Ann! Sorry that I wasn't up to answer my thoughts on your Cannas! I had to be getting up really early so I was asleep! And dang it for missing out today, the conversation was fun! And my S. black lace is beautiful! :-p especially with yellow ground covers below it. I would've said the same as victor and just added that I'm jealous because my gophers absolutely devour them (sometimes they dissapear in less than a day). Are the ones that you got Hardy? There's not many I could even try to grow here.

Hey Onewish, this is just a guess and I don't know that it matters but, i think the azalea that you have is not just one of the northen lights series, but it is the "northern lights" azalea. If what you had ordered was supposed to be yellow then whoever you ordered it from probably had mistaken northern lights (white-pinkish) for northern hi-lights (white and yellowish)??? Just a guess anyhow! Besides, you've already ordered the actual yellow one, "hi-lights", so you were really just rounding out the series! i love them all. Here's a link if you want to see if you think yours is northern lights of something else http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG2386.html
"orchid lights" is sort of similar, but it usually has a little more lavender color to it..

Nice almond dyan, let us know if you found out the variety!

Great dark red columbine flowerjen! what kind is it?
