Such beautiful photos. I love them all. But now I have the Oklahoma song stuck in my mind. At least it's a happy song ^_^
Patio isn't big enough.^_^
A pellucid pond photo Victor. You are going to make me buy a DSLR.
Slept with windows open
Nothing better than that.
Great photos all! I love All of them!
I don't have much going on at the moment other than the anemones, Sorry! I'm sure that I'll see a lot when i'm in town tomorrow.

sounds fantastic Jo Ann!
nice RC.... time to get the coffee and go out on the deck... woo hoo!!
johnny jump up?
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/253/
they are all over in my garden... pretty weeds aren't they?
oh sorry didn't mean to rev you up... I grow them from seeds... I don't actually think they are weeds but a lot of people do... because they go to seed and JUMP UP everywhere
a weed is in the eye of the beholder : )
Right, they could come to my garden any time--pansies are just a larger variety of the sme genus.
I love Johnny-Jump-Ups---better than all the violets taking over my gardens & lawn! Here is a speckled one---but it's blurred because I can't take a good close-up this this camera!
Here is the order from Klehms---really nice sized plants---the kalmia is 'Raspberry Glow'--the clem is 'Marie Jensen" & the lilac is 'Little Boy Blue"
so nice when a plan works out... there is a clematis I planted under the power pole supports in front of my house... I went to check if it needed a coaxing in the right direction.... and it already latched on to it
Victors' bloom of the day today! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/979779/
Robin..... I love the Violet "freckles"! and.... it won't show up all around your yard either!
your order looks really nice too!
personally.... I love of the little violets that come up everywhere. It's like a little surprise colorspot!
Thanks Shelly!
Finally! We have color! We have blooms!
The hummingbirds love these, but we have no hummers yet - just beautiful blossoms.
Congrats, Candyce!
Some people just 'have' to get their fingers dirty!

Very nice, Nancy. Must have been a good crowd with this weather.
Here's a shot from last week in Boston.
Brooke.... the pink/blue plant is pulmonaria. I don't know about the variety. It sort of reminds me or 'Ms. Moon'.
Candyce.... that last picture is soooooo precious. My gosh, she looks like me when I was here age! And playing out in the dirt too!! My hair was not as wavy. What I would've given for her waves!
Nancy.... nice job at the plant sale!!

some pics that I took last weekend.
So, this one comes with a story:
This is probably the first tree/shrub that I ever bought. About 9 years ago, before I started learning anything about plants, I asked a friend that owned a nursery for a recommendation for a small tree or shrub for this particular spot. She said 'oh there's the beautiful yellow magnolia, tulip flowered, that just came out a couple of years ago that would be perfect.' well, I saved my money and bought a pretty large one (for me anyhow) sine I knew it would take some time to bloom. It bloom for the first time 2 years ago... 1 bloom! Last years late snow wiped out lots of lovely buds on it. ( I think that this has happened several times) This is is the first year that mother nature has finally allowed the blooms to open. Good thing that I wasn't expecting a yellow magnolia huh?!?! lol. The funny thing is that a star magnolia is actually a much better height for that spot and I like them better anyhow! Honestly... several years ago I really suspected with fair certainty that it was a star magnolia, so it actually was not a big surprise. but still funny to think about.
a close up.
a nature made hybrid between rasberry splash and majeste pulmonaria.
