Great pics Celeste. Congrats to your girls.
Coffee Break #11 - Moms rule!
Thank you j2!
Yes! Too bad you can't talk the girls into a double wedding---easier on you. Thanks for the photos of Fieldstone---I've been ordering from them for years, & have always received great plants. My son's FIL has 3 yellow magnolias, all blooming right now, up at the farm----very pretty---I'd love to see your 'Flamingo'.
Thanks Robin! When 'Flamingo' blooms, i'll post pictures....not sure if it will this year or not.
Congrats on the engagement!!
Great day today. Got a lot done in the garden.
Thanks Jan!

Great thanks Celeste, another plant added to my wish list...I like pulmonaria x Ann, opal and coral springs.
Celeste--I took the tour, and ordered one of ech pulmomaria!
Just kidding--sigh...
lol
Jen, I ordered pulmonaria 'Ann' this year, in honor of my GD, Anne---can't wait til it blooms!
It's beautiful and from what they told me spreads nicely, makes a great ground cover. They had a huge clump and it was all in bloom.....BEAUTIFUL!!

SO COOL!!! I may have to get my feeder up.
Amazing Allison!!
thank you .... just love them!
Awesome pics, Allison!
Did you miss me? ^_^ I was in Denver at the Denver Botanical Gardens and met up with some DGers from the Rocky Mountain Forum. Made copious lists while my buddy roybird (photographer extra-ordinaire) took the pics. I'll give the link cuz I'm sure she will start a thread for them. Congrats Pixie!!! Weddings are so exciting. Happy Belated Mothers Day to all the moms.
You were missed D-nut. Glad you had a good time.
Welcome back, dnut!
Great hummer shots, Allison! I have seen a few recently, but they are preferring the flowers to the nectar, as usual.
I'll have to check the pulmonaria site
Took a different way home today to see what was blooming in other yards, a lot of azaleas and iris is what I see. I need to take a walk in the development behind me and check things out.
Lots of iris popping out around here.
I noticed a wonderfully scented shrubby weed today near my pool. I'll have to take a pic and post it for an ID.
Sounds like Sweet Fern.
No, I know sweet fern well and have planted it! This is more of a gardenia type smell and the 'weed' is about 6-6 1/2 ft tall.
Did you know if you boil sweet fern down it makes a great healer of poison ivy?? DH has a batch all cooked up in the frig. right now. ^_^
Never heard that. It does make a nice tea.
