Great pics, Duane!

Great pictures, I think spring is here!

Just a few of my long term bloomers. Reliable hellebores.

And an old primrose that has held its own for 20 years or so.
The grape hyathins have started blooming while the winter heathers are getting closer to finishing.

Question? Why are all my posted photos sideways? When I touch to view they are correct. What can I do to make sure posted photos are right side up? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Jewell, other people have this problem sometimes too - sadly I don't have an answer, I noticed that if I post from my phone, it will turn them sometimes, but not consistently Nice photos though! I love that your primrose has been around so long!! Very nice! Thank you

Jewell, beautiful photos.
Go to this link and post. Dave will help you figure out what the problem is. The thread "IPhone Photo Issues" in Site Talk forum

Jewell, just beautiful hellebore!!! Love pictures

I know gorgeous!!

Wow, in your second photo, is that a gratopetalum? In the ground? Is it under an overhang so the rain doesn't get on it?
Great semps and sedum.

its under an under hang this was 2nd winter it is grapto fred ives and it is in strait yard dirt, light sand and gravel mulch. Greg if i did not allready give you fred ives cuttings drop me a line and i will get some to you they will grow in rock cracks where they get good sun

One more question Mark. What is the measurement across the largest rosette? They look so large, and beautiful.

WOW!!!That's so cool! What is the bright orange in the first picture?

Very beautiful Mark!! And no you didn't give me fred ives, I've been reading that many of these "tender" succulents will do okay in our neck of the woods! I still haven't put mine back outside, very soon now though!
Here's my trillium, looking so grand!

Beautiful Trillium. Mine are just starting to show signs of life now. Nothing close to yours. Last year I was going to Chelan for a memorial service and almost drove off the road looking at the wild trillium. They were on the eastern side of Stevens Pass. That was the first part of June.

I can imagine that both you and the east side of mts are just a bit slower than here in Seattle...also I have mine sheltered so I think they're thinking its later in the year than it is I'm used to seeing these in the woodlands of MI and also usually May or June, Its so nice to finally have some in my yard!

Trillium bloom at our Mt. Hood cabin in late May-June, I believe. Love them. I've thought about digging some up from the cabin property, and bringing them to my yard in Salem---but I haven't done it yet. I don't have a good woodland place for them, so I've chosen just to enjoy them at my "other" garden---which is all woodland, all natural---even get fairy orchids there, which is an amazing delight when I'm there when they are blooming. Oregon oxalis just started coming up out of the ground last weekend.

Sounds really pretty Stephanie! Yes, mine are in a shady sheltered area along a fence and under a pine and a pear tree! (I'm hoping later in the fall the dropping pears don't hit it!)

spring - pork and beans or Sedum rubrotinctum at least i am 99%
lynn - they are about 6 inches across
greg - i havent seen any trilliums in the hills yet at least not along the i 90 they come out after the skunk cabbage and that is just sprouting. nice flower is it a native to westren washington? btw i put the Echeveria pulvinata outside its allready rooted

the iris you gave me in the redone frog pond
