Thanks, it's been fun watching the Goldfinches getting brighter each day.

More Crocus...

oh and thanks... that RVW is going on my want list

LOL

That RVW is wonderful!! Thanks for sharing Dyane. just what I needed.... something else for my wishlist!! lol. especially since I have very limited room for daffs. Great bird pics too!

sweeeeeeeet

that was a nice way to start my day RC.. thanks

Gorgeous shades, Shelly!

Very pretty all!

I've been watching a neighborhood camellia for blooms and I think I saw one yesterday. I'll have to take a walk today to confirm. Pretty pics.
It's fun to watch the goldfinches getting more vibrant. The other day there were about 8 around the feeder. I knew I should have gotten the longer one. The hummingbirds seemed to stall in southern VA. no postings for awhile, but I saw another one posted recently so maybe they're on the move again. I'm ready for them. :)

My wishlist is epic thanks to all of you!

When ever I am cruising thru a thread and see bloom.
I look at where the post comes from.
Camillias must be wonderful.
Its a gray cool day here.
NO blooms cept daffs and crocus

Epic meaning what Epidemic?

Hummers are still in VA. One was spotted more north yesterday.

Dumb hummer---stay in the South, I say! I have seen ladybugs already, & an ugly black bug landed on my arm at the farm---coldest place on earth, & buggy, too! I found more crocus, but I doubt if they'll open today---nice shots you all---thought that tulip foliage was skunk cabbage!

Hummers are a sign of warmer weather. If they stay south we will never have HEAT

I found a tick crawling on my arm. No skeeters on me yet, I'm sure they will find me soon. DH saw one on Sat.

I saw a grasshopper a week ago.

I am enjoying every one's pictures of all the pretty blooms. I still only have crocus so far. So I am happy I can enjoy all your pretty flowers. Birds too- I don't have many of those around yet - either. More crocus have opened at least and I don't know why .... but Buddha always seems happier when the flowers are blooming. ; )

I had planted amixed bag of crocus - they were supposed to be half of this kind and I think I ended up with a 5 to100 ratio! lol

I bought a dahlia mix of pot dahlias, I always dread those combos, I'll probably get all yellows , They'll go in the garden anyway, got to shade out the weeds.
Your purples are pretty anyway.

Thank you. : ) They were a very good price so I don't mind so much. It's when you pay top dollar for something and they aren't right - that really rubs me the wrong way. I hope your dahlias end up being as beautiful as you are envisioning! : )

May that be the blessing for all of us amature gardeners Meredith.
Its a long trip from dream to reality.

Tell me about it.

Tha sun came out for half hour so I shot some flowers







Baby Moon dwarf daffs

Early tulips.
I waited for the sun to make them open and gave up.
