Last year I planted verbena "homestead Purple" I didn't get One bloom and it didn't seems to take to well where I placed it When it got cold I just covered it heavily with leaves and forgot about it until I was wanting a space to plant a brug , to my surprise when I removed leaves there were bloom buds, today I came home and found this!! Needless to say I planted the Brugs somewhere else!

My Crocus are finally blooming , but, so far, only the yellow ones have shown their faces. I haven't seen any of the white or purple ones yet. Okay, it took a little while, but I managed to get on Photobucket so here is a picture of some of my my yellow Crocus. I've been moving some of my bulb plants today because I've found many of my Tulips, Daffodils, Mini-Daffodils and Narcissus are coming up in places where I haven't planted them . My squirrels like to dig up my bulbs and replant them in other places . They never seem to bother my Hyacinth bulbs, but I guess they're too big to handle.

I guess I better get in the "Back~40" and take a peak at mine... The bed should be at least starting to melt a little cause it's raised...where my crocus's are..

Pretty good to be seeing something like that come up in zone 6. I'm zone 6a and there's not a thing out there - we've had a warm spell, but still there's a lot of ice accumulation - it will melt off soon though. Very pretty verbena.

Carly & Penny, you should be seeing something coming up pretty soon. It seems one day there's nothing but some green leaves and then the next day you have color. What a GREAT feeling it is!

Blooming today... and... Sure are pretty! Weezie, I have tulips popping out of the ground, too. I thought I had moved them all to my bulb bed, but I have them out in the original tulip bed and beside my front steps...

Thank you all for the nice comments! I have been checking my bulb bed every day to find out if another treasure has popped up overnight. I planted so much out there, that I can't remember what is in there. I am afraid to weed right now because I am afraid I will be pulling up a flower!

It is groundsel, Weezie. I have always called it wish weed. I remember as a girl picking them and blowing them to make a wish. Didn't know until I was older that that was how the weeds spread...

Michael, although I have some Iris that get pretty tall, I don't believe any of mine have ever come close to reaching 40". :rolleyes: I'll be anxious to see more flower pictures because we are getting snow flurries again today. This may be the only place I will be seeing any flowers for now.

Patches, What I mean is the Apricot Twist. It grows about 40 inches high. Not that big really. I hope you recieve warm weather pretty soon! Dixie Angel, Here are more Photos. ...And here is some Information. Okay, here are two more photos of my Irises... I have 9 total stems with 3 flowers waiting to bloom. SO 9 times 3 equals 27 blooms I will be expecting!!

Well yesterday it opened! On the first day of spring! Sadly it was an ugly day. It was very cloudy and we had thunderstorms by nightfall... Today, wasn't any better, but sunny. It was very windy today! So sorry for the bad bad photos! I tried my best to make them the best! I took those photos today. Not the best! First one! Out of many that will be coming!! They look like they will be blooming all at once!

It's so nice to see everyone's outdoor blooms! We are still completely covered with snow from last Friday's storm, but the warmer weather is slowly getting here - it's 50 degrees out there right now. Here is my first geranium bloom on an overwintered plant. This was a 99 cent seed geranium bought 2 years ago.
