glad they turned you around.... they are pretty
Spring Blooms - Part 9
Quite the success story Amy. I have some colored like that - don't think they are multiples though.
Took another shot of my weed.
i love your weeds
Oh me too..we should all have weeds like that!
I have loved looking at everyone's beautiful pictures- Really, its been like turning the pages of one of those expensive garden books- here is from today- we had a wee bit of sun in the evening. not such a great picture, but a beautiful tulip
and this is China Town- definitely a great tulip!
I'm enjoying all the photos. Your northern gardens are really coming into their own now! I have Trollius 'Prairie Queen' in bloom now at Maypop.

I like that China Town.
Nice orangish yellow Laurel.
This wasn't taken in my garden, but it's a unique shot you might like.
grrr. power went out. took forever to get re-booted...
Where was i? O yes, still on 5/08:
ahhhh....
sjms, dang, why didn't I plant 'China Town'. Gorgeous.
Here is one of the changing ones. It starts out white and yellow and turns through several shades to a strong coral pinkish color. Here it is now. Single Late Tulip 'Antoinette' Patti
But then, on 5/11...
(ominous music)
Almost would be pretty if they were SUPPOSED to be like that.
Yup. Bulbs eaten away.
It happened to some of my saxatilis, too, and assorted others in bud, but not after blooming.
Amy, what happened? Who is eating them?
Antoinette then changes to this combo (last year's picture)
She gets really warmed up in late May and looks like this. Great show. Patti
The moles or voles or whatever is underground that got probably at least 2/3 of all my bulbs this year.
Out of the around 3 dozen Queen of Nights (my favourite flower in the world) i planted this year, i got 4 in front of the house, and 8 of the 10 extra small ones i stuck in a container because i'd run out of places to put them. (O, and 2 returners from last year - one of which got its head knocked off the day after it bloomed.) All those white Maureen tulips i went crazy trying to get last fall? i got not one single bloom. Out of 15 Renowns, they left me one. (3 made it to bud - but then 2 flopped.)
And most of them were planted caged in chicken wire.
sigh.
i'm done. i have moved on to the next plants.
sigh.
Anyway, i really liked the Candy Clubs, and definitely will buy more next year. If i ever plant bulbs again.
Wow, those are beautiful, Patti!
Shirley showing quite a blush on May 1:
The Claudia triplets on April 30 (you can see their baby sister, too):
My single Wendy Love just waking up, on April 30:
(grrr - the thumbnail cuts her head off...)
Amy, are you sure you don't live near me! i recognize the story very well!
Wow, every one has been very busy today! Excellent stories and pictures!
Rhody Dexter's spice. it smells like spicy vanilla!
sort of a side view of two of the shade beds... not completed by any means!
Full moon maple doing its job.... being the bright spot in the area!
Japanese maple "Beni something??" taken yesterday. I'm going to check the tag. I think Beni kamachi., but not sure.
can you believe that this is a picture of the same tree taken in mid Jan?
This used to be my "koto-no-ito" tree. Then the deer got to it. Now its my koto no it shrub.

Poor little Pulmonaria's.. the young leaves aren't ready for the heat (88deg) yet and they're wilting (yes, they had plenty! of water), I'm such a sap that i just had to water them down to cool them off. tomorrow, fri, is going to be really rough on all of the plants with fresh new growth :-(
people seemed to like the pic of the falls so i figured I'd put in another one. This is "Fourth Fall's" and it four mi. up the road that I live on. Very slight falls, but still pretty. Maybe I'll just show the picture of it to the plants tomorrow to keep their spirits up. Just kidding.
wow were you guys busy after i went to sleep... very nice shots everyone
that's the way I feel when I get back online after work!
good morning redchick
mornin' friends- yeah - usually by the time i get on in the evening there's a whole new continuation thread started... Patti- love those tulip pictures- Amy-i hope at least you picked the drooping tulips and enjoyed them inside in a vase.... was the wire mesh of the bulb cages not small enough??
redbud out front...
Wow - great shots! Beautiful tulip and foliage, Sarah. Looking great good, Amy. Love that stream, Shelly.
Great good, Victor! That was early...
^_^
Haha, shrub...RC - that was good.
Awesome color everybody. Tulips galore(sounds like a James Bond character).
My holly is tempting the bees...
It's for the greater good!
Good grief.
some more shots of spring - flowering crab
Victor this is for you - close up of shirazz.
River birch just starting to open.
