Hi everyone I have been trying to post one flower photo on Instagram every day. I think it is fun to just decide on my favorite for that day. Plus it's easy to find time for it! Feel free to join in!
Today's #floweroftheday
SDB Iris 'Raymond'

Nice idea, Meredith.....Hellebore Ice Follies.....

Love the Hellebore Marilyn!
Here's a SDB Iris 'Teagan'

Here is my last clump of daffs blooming....they are miniatures....

Is no one else taking photos? Would love to see other blooms....Here's a new little-leafed rhodo.....Pioneer Silvery Pink.

Noid Iris

Great color!

Marilyn I love your Dafs and Rhodi!
Ronnie, that is an amazing color on that Iris! I have been very busy! I am mad at myself for missing a few days!! I had a new one for me open today. (Not today the other day, woops) 😉
Muppet's Sister SDB

Meredith, you have amazing dwarf iris....the colors are super! I'll see if I can get a photo of something not saturated by this rain.....

Thanks! I got a bunch of new ones but not all have bloomed. I live having new flowers to look forward to and with the Dwarf Iris I will have more for May! 😀 I thought I lost my phone and didn't get it back until today. Here's a new one for me 'Cheers'

The Iris' are beautiful. When I lived in Dumont, NJ, I visited the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair, NJ. A must-see Iris smorgasborg for any Iris lover. http://presbyirisgardens.org/w...

Lovely iris, Meredith....wish I lived closer to the iris garden.....my fav flower ever since I was a child in my grandma's garden......

I would love to visit Presby! It would be 4 1/2 hours drive 1 way for me. So I would have to plan ahead for sure!

Today 'Hi' opened. I like the beard.

Love it! Wanted to get a photo of my lilacs on, but computer is not cooperating...can't locate the photo!

BTW I can drive by presby once in a while at work .. not allowed to stop but still nice

Here is a lilac for you Marilyn

Here's what's been blooming in my garden.





Columbine



Geum, Mai Tai

The peonies should start any day now!

Elena, that Columbine is so big. I planted Blue Double Winky Columbine seeds in my greenhouse two months ago, and the ones that germinated are only a couple of inches tall so far! I'm almost afraid to put them outside in the ground yet. I also had a very poor germination rate. I planted 54 cells and only a dozen germinated. Bought the seeds from Vermont Wildflower Farm. First seeds I ever bought from them that had such a poor germination rate.

I don't think I ever bought seeds from Vermont Wildflower Farm before. Which is strange since I buy seeds from everywhere! I got the seeds from a 2014 seed swap (I'll be collecting seeds this year for the 2018 swaps on this site) and wintersowed them 2016. I got 50% germination. I put the plants in the ground late 2016 and last year the plants grew huge! But except for the Origami series they don't bloom the first year. They bloomed like crazy this year though! I have 3 plants. Two are the color in the picture and the other is pink and purple.
