I'm pushing it a bit since it is so early in the season, but couldn't resist. I seeded some alyssum & pansies really early and need to make room for other plants in the greenhouse. Here's my little display with some pussy willows




Let's see your early spring pots

Don't have any!

Joanne, Is the cat admiring your display of pussy willows? Great welcoming front of the house!

Very nice Joanne. Is your snow gone for this growing season?
Love the pussy willow.

Yes, that is my kitten wondering what the pussy willow is. I added a few more plants today. The container has Pansies, Alyssum, Lobelia, Stock and the pussy willows. For the snow: We can get snow until June. I will cover the plants for the 1st week at night. We still have below freezing temps at night, but these are all tough plants that can handle freezing temps. If I loose them, I have a bunch more. I started some stuff extra early and now have a space issue in the greenhouse. I cleaned up some south facing flower beds and there are a bunch of perennials that are just starting to poke up. Dafffidols and tulips are up too

What a nice greenhouse. Is that tomato plants I see in the second photo?

Everything is so late here,I dont usually do spring planters but yours are a great treat.

HAPPY EASTER everyons.

Those are great planters. My containers need some attention! You have inspired me.

Nothing like yours but spring containers.

Joanne, and Spring, very pretty! And I love the cat!!

Springcolor! I love the color of the huchera with the daffidols. I tried forcing some bulbs, and some are finished blooming while others have no signs of flower buds yet.

Beautiful photos Joanne and Spring. Makes me want to get mine done.

Every year I make up hanging baskets of double early tulips in the fall. I usually use red Abba and yellow Monte Carlo but i decided on a double mix from Scheepers for this spring. I always use new bulbs each year:



I bought enough to also make these three large containers packed with the tulip mix.



These started blooming a little later, tulip Salvo and Green Wave:



I still need to plan for containers for when these will be finished...

Warm reds with yellows....cool pinks and white. Nice! Springy!

Connie I love the pink and white against that white fence!! I'm not used to seeing tulips in hanging pots, I like them!

I need to post another picture in about a week when the Green Waves are completely open. Most of what you see right now are the pink and white Salvos. I think the Green Waves are what they call viridiflora tulips.

Connie those are beautiful. I never thought about potting them.

I forgot this one. The daffs are Scheepers pink daffodil mix. They are actually pinker than they look in the photo; I am very pleased with them. In the foreground is a later blooming tulip, Antoinette, a multiflowering one (3 or 4 blooms on one stem). I will take another photo when they open.

The grassy looking plants in the background are a couple of rows of Japanese irises that I use as parents. Last year this bed was all lilies.

Awesome Connie. What do you do with them when they finish blooming?

Lynn, the hanging baskets are discarded when they are finished. The large containers, I'm not sure. I might decide to discard those also. The daffodils I'll keep.

I went to the Oregon Daffodil Society show on Saturday (here in town). Boy, have daffodils come a long way! We have a number of hybridizers around here. I made a list, of course. I wish I had taken my camera with me.
