ok it is open---I have a pink Hyacinth blooming too, but i t is storming out--so there is no picture of it yet.....sad story---I dug up and moved my daffs down a bit, last fall so I could have room for my dwarf iris---well first a rouge hyacinth came up & then a bunch of daffs showed up anyway----and my dwarf iris--nope----not the seeds & not the plant-- I am hoping at some later date ??? and now I have one more to post--next box--

Dianthus stayed blooming for our entire winter,, I had a lot of leaves covering them thinking we would get at least some snow -Not but at least I had some color all winter desert rose and oxalis blooming early marigolds,, I planted Moon flower vine seeds behind them and used trellis and fencing on the back wall to give it something to vine on, ( well I gotta make use of what I have right?? :wink:) just wish I had know the weather was gonna be like it was I would have planted the moon seeds earlier

OK, I don't have beautiful flowers yet...and I think Dodge told me how to post a picture from Photo Bucket, but I didn't write it down and I seem to remember how to get a picture on Photo Bucket, but would someone take the time to let me know how to post from photo bucket to our forum? Thanks.

Hyacinths and tulips from My Moms house in Ks,,, Tulips from a Friend of Mine I visited while in KS,, She said tulips bloomed early this year because of the warmer winter they had,, Yep they had snow a couple of time but no where near what Ks winters normally are,,,

Carol I tried to transplant mine when I moved and they didn't make it,, it's good to see your violets, Diane---Try to transplant them from your current yard--before the first grass cutting of course---just dig WAY under them so the roots are not disturbed & they should be fine---Early this spring, I sprinkled down some more soil over my just barely showing violets & they seems to like it & came in really thick this year. If ya remind me next year (early) I could send you a few violet starts.

I love Clemantis, I am very anxious to see the new pics too-- I really need to plant one here---I drive by the old house & somehow the new owners of MY house have managed to kill off the beautiful one that my Dh's great Aunt had growing there---& I managed to keep it thriving for 25 years--it took them no time to kill it off--

No I didn't mail order it,, I found it at a garden center last year,, I tried rooting a piece of one from my old house but it didnt make it,, So I bought another one,, Last year it didn't bloom_ this year it did,, so now I know the following years it will as well...

My sister just had some major back surgery & so she has a lot of time on her hands. She can however get on her laptop so she has found me some graphics--it seems that in the group she belongs to, they post a new graphic with each post----so she is always on the look-out for graphics--she customized this one for me--i thought this an appropriate thread to show it to you guys.----My sister is "Tara's Treasures" so not to worry

The first picture here is how the Wavy, Varigated Hosta starts that Barb sent me a few years ago are doing-- Below is the Red Cloud Spiderwort that my oldest DD gave to me back in 2010 I believe that this is called Goldilocks "Creeping Jenny"--I really didnt think it would come back since it was in a pot--but I was proven wrong..

I planted this by seed and I think it wants to go outside, but I think it may be a touch early. I love all your wonderful pictures, Belinda and Carol. It should, mine are about 5 years old. Yours looks nice. Started mine from seeds too

Those are invasive up here. Yes I think that is the case here---I do so like their looks---but I read that about them & so I decided not to plant them---as a result looking at your pictures is a real treat---

Nice, malva is invasive here also...but pretty. My grandmother despises them, they are known as 'widow's flowers' here. Many many years ago..the widows in the area seemed to have less yard work done and the ditches and fields near their houses would be filled with Malva. Grandma said you knew who didn't have a husband by the fields of Malva that surrounded them. Every Malva had to be mowed steadily around her house...we didn't dare let one come in bloom.

Very nice...as far as changing colors. My daylilies and daffy's have all done the same. Pink lilies turned peach, pink daffy's turned off white.

This years version of my purple Coneflower that my oldest DD brought home from the plant nursery that she worked in when she was 15. below is a 3D Silver Osteospermum: The tag says it stays bloomed all day & all night....

Thanks so much ladies!!! So pretty..only thing blooming here are the bleeding hearts. I would LOVE to have some bleeding hearts---but alas no shaded areas here. I do have a small fuschia in the front (east facing) we will just see how long it gets to live....

Beautiful Blooms, Carol. I have some coreopsis started from seed, that I plan to plant outside this week. Glad I didn't do it last week as we got a cold snap! I love yours and can't wait till mine look like that!

Bobbie: Mine were started from seed also. A wild flower mix it was. These & some tickseed were all that have survived so far. in the beginning it was taller & more spindly but now a days it is shorter & much nicer---Thanks for the nice words.
