Nice series, Karen. Looks like you had fun!

celeste nice tulips pic's - do they come back every year?

i have one bed of them red and purple - first year all came back - next year all foliage and only the red flower - this year both are up in flowering - strange what happened last year

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Yes, so far all tulips come back every year. 'Shirley' tulip I've had for about 7 years or more now....they are slowly petering-out.

Buffalo, NY(Zone 6a)

Thanks, everyone! Wish is had the time to post pics of all the things I have goin on!

Also wish I had all the flowers y'all are showing in bloom in my yard!! They all look great! All y'all do a great job, not only with the gardening, but with the photos, also!

The forsythia is still hanging on to blooms, and the Apple Blossoms are just starting to open. Most of the daffs and hyacinths are faded. A couple of tulips are just coming around. And, I see the star gazers are starting to poke their heads above ground, too.

Flowering today in the greenhouse is my Amaryllis Philadelphia. I bought this one along with Benfica well over 10 years ago. First bloom on both since purchase! The third Amaryllis I bought with those two does not look like it is going to flower. I forget which it is, but I think it might be Mont Blanc.

Tomato - Special Turkish. I got 5 seeds out of the Round Robin Box. I think these were donated by Cyndie!

8 week old seedlings

That is very nice, Pixie!!!

Though, that 'Appleblossom' is probably not as fragrant as the apple blossoms out in the yard!

That looks like a very happy healthy "Ryllie"!!

Nice Willie.....Hyacinths - if you look in the lower left there is 3 red oak acorns rooting in.

Sherrie: Those all look VERY happy! Nice! I planted some of your Sweet 100 Seeds, too.

I also planted (2) kinds of Pomodoro Roma - Rio Grande & Nano. Also from the RoundRobin. I like the Romas, too!
