Thanks Sally, I knew they were not Veronica! I will look for Angelonia, did you grow them from seeds or buy as little plants?
Pretty little violets Blossom!
April 2009 in the garden
They were plants. I grow nastursium from seed, but not much else. I want it NOW! ha. I do grow caladiums from bulbs too, but mostly, I buy nice plants for my containers and yard. Whoops, I posted this already. I was trying to show the nasturtiums. Too bad you can't change the photo isn't it?

LOL! I have often thought that Sally! Usually when I've made an awful arrangement!!
I like the frames you make for your pictures, they look really neat. I like the flowing grassy plant in the foreground, what is that? Plantgeek sent me some Beargrass seeds, I'm looking forward to that growing.
Will have more pics later. spring is popping, but we got rain again.. Well, beats snow hands down though!
Let it rain!! We are gonna have to start laughing at it!
Ok, todays beauty... I have no clue as to what she is, but a friend of mine gave it to me and it is lovely!
Well, now here is a pretty I got from a friend of mine....Don't know what it is, but she made her appearance today, just another lovely daf of some description!
Blossom - that looks like a poeticus. I bought some a few years ago, but it stopped blooming after two years. The stalks still comes up. I may just dig it out and try moving it somewhere else. It is a pretty flower though.
white azalea in bloom
Terri - here is a shot of my white planter - in bloom now is the white Tree peony, white Dutch Iris, and white bletilla striata. I wish I had Blossom's white daffodil in there too!!
I think you are right on that soils, but I have really no clue. I thought it was a peacock eye but that probably is just another common name.
Lovely flowers there BTW! I am envying you for your weather.....sigh
My, we should have called this thread blooms galore! Everyone is getting quite a display.
Well, I was able to get out and pick more daffs.. here is todays collection...
White with an orange throat...
Some doubles.. these are my mid season daffs.. just starting.. Usually about the time we get these blooming, we get a nasty storm.. rare is the year they bloom without a hit. dang.. prepare ye me umbrella!! LOL!
I am not sure what these are, but they are minis!
A whiteish with yellow
I think these are King ALfreds.. well any way,. some yellow of some description!
You have a larger variety than my garden catalogs blossom, you must have some of every species. Now get back up on the porch before the skies start hammering you with sheets of rain!
Nope, not done with the daffs yet! LOL! Here are some of my near whites
Is your reall name "daff-a-ne"
Ok, now I am done on todays daffs, but seriously, ther are more varieties out there.. LOL!
Here is a violet
No, and it is not Violet or Petunia!! LOL!
Race ya to the Petunia patch...

Your white planter and Azalea is looking lovely Dianne, so fresh and full!
Blossom your Daff collection is terrific! I love seeing them all together in the vases, it's too hard to pick a fav, they are all beautiful! What is the leaf in with the minis?
Candee, daff-a-ne...... too funny!!LOL
The leaf with the minis is a pothos or some call it varigated devils ivy.
Here is my pink flowering almond. I did a hard prune on it last year so it is smaller than usual, but still pretty in pink.
And here is my forget me nots that Terri inspired me to plant.
And I also have bleeding hearts in bloom. Didn't ever get the white ones I intended.
Those leaves look good for arrangements Blossom!
The almond blooms look soooooooooo beautiful Candee! Do the flowers last long when cut?
Nice to see you forgot me not!!! yours looks like a variagated leaf?
PANK bleedin' heart is just as nice as white.
Gosh, I'd better get out in the garden soon, you are all putting me to shame with my lack of pictures, well into April.
Wow, what beautiful flowers, everyone!
Candee - I have never seen an almond blossom up close before - very lovely.
I never can grow bleeding hearts successfully - do they make cut cut flowers?
I think bleeding haerts do fine as cut flowers, but are short vase lived.
Why does that rain guage keep following me? LOL!
Dandelions
Flowering almonds
Hybrid willows
A-hem.. hybrid willows....!
White creeping phlox
Blossom and Candee, do you get Almond nuts?
Love your white creeping phlox, that would be nice in Diannne's white flower bed!
You know it's getting warmer when the fern fronds start to pop up!
1 or 2 forget me nots !!!
No terri, that would be another kind of tree, the flowering almond we both have is a shrub!
Must go check my fern fronds!! I know it will be getting warmer when the rain quits and the humidity kills me!
It is supposed to be near 80 this weekend, but jeez, with all this rain, what a steamy day that will be for sure.
Hey remind me tomorrow, I put garbage bags in the maibox...I need to bag up some more spent pots. We are cleaning up the hoophouse and they are going to be recycled.
Terri, looks like more than 1-2 nots you gots there and I see your japonica is bloomn in the background, you have a luscious garden in bloom already. Mine is quite sparce this time of year, tulips barely up outta the ground and same with lots of others.
Never used the hearts in a cutting, perhaps will give it a try but going out of town again this weekend so not sure when that will happen, although I am taking Monday off work so perhaps.
No nuts of these terri, just nuts taking the photos LOL!
