Bloomin' Onions! Love those! Even the potted kinds! Lol Rolling on the floor laughing

Got a grove of Wild Elderberry behind the house. They are starting to bud out. Maybe the birds will leave me some berries this year? Crossing Fingers! Doubt it. They are quick and they don't share. Hahaha

@Altheabyanothername Your gardens are just beautiful! Lovey dubby

I think instead of "What is blooming for you right now?" it should be 'What isn't blooming for you right now! " WOW!

I think it's lovely too, Althea. So lush. How do you show an Iris? Did you mean for a competition?

Thank You! Kristi! I just pictured a few not wanting to overwhelm...I do regularly post my garden pictures on the garden photo thread. You are welcome to check it out whenever you have the time.

The thread "My Caffeinated Garden and other tidbits" in Garden Photos forum

Thank You! Luv...I grow a lot of tall bearded iris. I picked that particular iris out of many different ones to "show" on this thread because of its name.

May everyone and their garden have the blessing of good health!

Hurray! It is beautiful! Hurray!

Thumbs up I especially like your Larkspur and Columbine Thumbs up

May I please ask...how do you do larkspur? Perennial or annual,
Seeds, returning plants, or new plants each year?

May the remainder of the month be simply wonderful!

My larkspur reseeds itself. I let some of the plants go to seed even though they look pretty ratty, and then just shake them where I want them to go.

I love reseeders. If you are willing...I would love to trade you something for larkspur seeds.

Many blessings for a wonderful and safe week!

Hi Sharon, I will try and save some for you. Things are very busy right now. This is the last spring we will be in this house as we will be moving by this time next year and are trying to figure out where we want to live or build..

Oh, teacup what a shame to leave your beautiful garden behind! But always fun, I think, to start a new project.

I've never seen variegated vinca bloom before this year. It may have, though. It has taken years and years for one plant to spread in dry, caliche shade. It all started blooming in early march. The ones that get a little more sun still had a few blooms before the rain.

I just transplanted this little bunch a few weeks ago.

This garden is 12 years old so the prospect of a new one is both exciting and daunting. But I think the next one will be smaller so it doesn't become a burden. I envision this one will be our forever home.

I got this in a trade last year. I didn't expect flowers in the first season, thinking it needed to acclimate to my pond temp, exposure, etc. But it's a very nice surprise. I didnt even notice the inflo!
