backlit dicentra gold heart stems! Doesn't seem possible to have that color in nature.

the last one!
I cant believe all the blooming trees and bushes.RC
Magnolia is a winner.
We will have forsythias in a few days if not sooner.
Ahhhh yes the forsythias, the sign that spring is here! The earliest ones started a few weeks ago, but they were really starting to be in full bloom last week. I had never noticed that magnolia buds would look like that when backlit.
If it's any consolation, the camellias and magnolias (not the one that I said was outside) are in coldframes. Although, some of the ealiest blooming camellias are just starting to bloom outside! I can't hardly wait!
You sure are lucky. Nice time of year and it was a long wait.
all great RC but that one in the pot is fantastic
Amazing pictures - I never get tired of seeing them. I just love the early blooming crocus - gets me right out of the winter doldrums.
Great shots, Shelly! I love the red camellia and the last backlit hellebore shot.
Karen
Gorgeous shots, Shelly. Love that backlit hellebore.
just breezing by.
Hi ebveryone
Shelley, you have a beautiful collection of Hellebores. I love that potted one. Do you know it's name?
Neighbor's daff.
Different neighbor's magnolia.
Last - an opening one.
very nice shelly!!
Wonderful shots all, but Victor, do I sense "neighbor envy". I have envy of all that have narcissus out in the NE. I have a few trying, but not much of a statement yet. Patti
Oh--can't believe the magnolias are blooming---mine is sooo late--this is it for me---a small clump of crocus, & some budded wood hyacinths. Those hellebores were outstanding, Shelley. And Victor, the hyacinth's color is close to mine---however, only buds right now.
The woodies--
And some sad crocus---guess the rain was too much for them!
Home from Ohio----crocus are finished, although got to admire those in DD's garden. Riticulata 'Harmony' sill in bloom. some buds showing on the daffodils in front of the roadside stone wall. Have to get the leaves off the 'Jack snipes' & see how they are doing.
Getting there, Robin!
Hyacinth.
Hell.
Bleeding heart.
First ladybug I have seen.
Last for now - twisty daffy foliage.
Victor, which daff? Never seen a twisted leaf like that on a narcissus. Intrigued. Love the bleeding heart. Stop posting I need to go to work! Patti
Not sure. I'll see if there is a tag.
here's whats growing.
Thought it might be the double shirly poppies I sowed in dec.
No came the answer from Plant ID and
No was the answer on Poppie forum.
Its coming up where I placed the seed balls but look less and less like poppies everyday.
Hope I havnt been expending all this energy for a weed.
here's another view
I had Golden Margurites in that area also, might be them.
Could be lots of things, including weeds.
They do seem to emerge first and grow fastest.
Almost looks like strawberry foliage or cinquefoil.
More like the 'false strawberry' weed.
DH says that the red polyanthus primrose is full of buds. I love those things, but have had a difficult time with them.
Is this scilla too? Beautiful, whatever it is.
Love this foliage.
Last - daffs.
Oops - forgot this scilla.
Victor that is the glory of the snow, Chionodoxa forbesii Blue Giant. Post #6346195 Patti
Thanks all, you're great!
Anita, I hope that your plants come along very soon! At least there's no more snow! right? You're showing some signs of life, that's very good.
Dyane, I wish that I could say that all of those hellebores are mine! But, that just wouildn't be true by any stretch of the imagination! The double pink is one called is a Pink one (clearly) from the Party Dress Improved strain.
Victor, that foliage shot just a little bit above, is that an erythronium? All your pictures are great, but I love the Lady bug!
Good call Patti!
