Gorgeous, Terri!!
April 2009 in the garden
LOL!! Well this nut was out early this morning taking photos... no blooms on most, just foliage... Only bloom I had was on the rhododendron and then I ran out of pixels so will have to take a snap at that one later!
Japanica.. shoot.. just sprouters! Most of mine is still under ground! Fern frons, not a one to be found. Forget me nots.. amonst the missing. Mine have slowly been dying out. The grass is taking over.
But here is my series for the day...

Thank you Sally! I will be sowing some nasturtiums tomorrow, they always make me think of you!
Thanks Candee, yes with all the rain the last couple of weeks then some sunshine this week everything suddenly took off!
Blossom, you have some Beauties there! can't wait to see them all flowering! I had some Heauchea, but it hasn't come up, I think it's a gonna!!
Hope to make a last dash with some pics in April, It will be good to look back on like a monthly diary of of gardens!
I don't seem to have many 'honesty' plants this year, blame it on our snow week!!!
Thanks terri, got more coming... here is a spiderwart...I know, looks like grass LOL!
Don't know spiderwart, looking forward to seeing that!
WOW, Blossom. What wonderful photos!!!
Thanks Sally.
I will take pics again when things start blooming too so hopefully I will get it to show you again later terri!
Here is my toad lilys poking up! They love it in my moist mess!
Ok, I have a fungus among us.. I do not know what kind it is, but I am pretty sure that if you eat it you will probably see some royally funky colors and get a royal belly ache. Please do not take these to the cafe!
Ajuga.
I think this has blue flowers. I also have one in pink, but vannot remember the label names.
Its every where!! Its every where..
One of my consequences of all the moisture around here!
Its a lovely moss that I think would be scrumptous in terriums!

Yo Terri!! Ahoy Mate, looks like my dafs are getting tooo much rain! They are starting to shrink! Looky here, this one is no bigger than my pointer finger!
Lilac buddings!
Asiatics...
Green hosta... not sure but I think it is sum and substance dont know
Peonies - they are the red thngs mixed in with the grass LOL!
A varigated hosta called auea marginata.
Thats it for today..
Blossom - you are going to be having a lot of flowers in a couple of months once all your plants take off. Nice variety.
Here is a white bletilla striata
I have a lot of yellow flag iris, but here is the first bloom from my patch of white one. I had two patches last year, but had no idea what it was because I did not remember planting them. There were no blooms last year. Then, last fall, I finally decided to purchase a white flag iris. If I had known I already HAD some, i could have saved myself some money LoL.
and some geum - this is Lady Stratheden.
I have blue flag iris.. they are only peaking up right now. No geum. Tried that and dint have any luck. I was out again this morning shooting things... heres my first victim...Coronation gold..
