Beautiful flowers ladies!
The dwarf iris were super, Jo Ann & Dyane. I know you'll post some photos Pixie of yours. Lovely tulip bed, Patti----Glad you're finally getting blooms, Dahlia. And I never saw a whiter epimedium, Stormy---do you have the name of that cultivar?
Jen, snow is what that picture looked like to me as well!!
Patti... love view in that photo that you 'forgot to post'. Someday I'm going to have my paths looking that together!!
Hurray for things going on in your yard Dahlia!!! nice picture too!
the white epimedium looks like Epimedium x youngianum niveum to me. But, there are a couple of other white ones as well.
Redchic & Robindog, One of mine is a Youngianum. That may be it. I'll look up it's name and try to post the other whites.
Tiarella Stargazer Venus
Yes, that was the Youngianum. It's raining too much to get that low on the ground to pix the other white. This is Epimedium Grandiflorum Higoense.
Tree Peony foliage
I love tree peonies we have a big tree peony grower near here Linwood Gardens

lilac's getting close
rototilling, re-moving all the tree roots and amending the soil last year has really made the lilac's happy - most blooms we've ever had!
more
and the last one
Looking good, Bill! CQ looks nice and full.
How acidic is your soil? Lilacs really appreciate a bit more alkaline soil. I have added lime and usually dump my wood ashes there and it does really great.
Wha, you live & garden in such a beautiful setting. The redbud looks fabulous with that backdrop and white fence. What is a don egolf rd?
Don Egolf is a redbud, storm.
Thank you, Victor. I have successfully killed two Forest Pansies here. Don't know why, I had two lovely ones at my other garden.
This is Daphne Cneorum "Ruby Glow"
thx storm
victor they were under white pines and i have been DUMPING ash and lime on them forever - getting in there and removing the tree roots - had a bonfire with what i took out - and the soil was like dust - amended that and it did the trick
that whole side of the driveway was in the same condition. It is 150 ft long so i did 50 feet a year for - you guessed it - 3 yrs. i'll go back in 5 years and get any roots that grow but only right alone the wall - a surgical strike
Wha great pictures! Your back yard reminds me of mine, with all those pines. Maybe you should leave that tree for the woodpeckers. My neighbor across the street has a pie tin hanging on the front of her house to try to keep them away. She cut down a couple trees that were right near there and now the woodpecker has started pecking holes in her house! She had it fixed one day and the very next day there was a new hole! Knocking on wood that it doesn't happen to me next.
I luv tiarella. Looking good wha. Don't you just get way too excited when something your think is a goner comes back? First tulip today. "Showwinner"
Wow that's a beauty! : )
redchic01, I love the stone paths, but a pain to weed and they are rather uneven which makes walking on them not great, but pretty. We have dug them up a couple of times over the years to relay them. I am getting too old to do that again.
Dahlianut , love that you have joined the bulb parade, but I find it strange that you have crocus blooming with Pasque flower which is so much later for me. It is just opening up now. Is that what happens up your way?
stormyla. What is that nice white flower that you posted? Post #6497267 My Shad is starting to bloom.
Wha, do you have a chain saw? My DH is pretty good at taking down trees. Maybe we could do a drive by take down. Patti
"Drive by take down" LOL!!
patti i have two chain saws - there is a small grove of about a dozen very tall white pines that i would love to come down and let the the little hemlocks grow - problem is they are 70 to 100 ft tall next to the road and all around the power lines - land them in my yard and they take down a lot of my trees and shrubs not to mention the septic system. all would have to fall into each other and have fingers crossed.
I'm glad that you offered your tree cutting services Patti! I was going to say that if I was closer, that I would gladly take it down. However, it's not worth the airfare, unfortunately. lol I agree completely about the stone paths, but they are pretty!
Bill, as I mentioned above... I would love to help out with the dead pine if I were only a little closer. lol Your work is coming along wonderfully! looks fantastic. That's a beautiful redbud.
Nice pics Stormy and Dyane.
lol. I like that 'Drive by take down!'
