These daylilies are planted on the slope at the side of my driveway. Very colorful when it blooms in summer and also colorful now with the spring bulbs in bloom.

Beautiful. Reminds me of Easter eggs!

So funny Arlene. I think the very same thing. I think of Easter egg colors each time I see these tulips.

~ If that don't say 'EASTER' then I don't know what does!

I really love this tulip mix. It is Colorblends late tulip mixture that they call "French Blend" . Will just HAVE to get more for this fall. The colors are just too pretty.

More flowers on Knockout Roses

Susan - Nice Iris garden!

Those pinks are really nice.

I planted a little pot of the pink evening primroses once and within 2 years they covered a 10'X10' bed. Decided to get rid of them before they covered everything. They are pretty though.

Great looking shrubs Rita.

Country Kisses is sure a pretty iris Susan.

Iris are very pretty. We just got two knockout roses! So anxious to plant. We tore out the ugly shrubs everyone plants as foundation.

I think I'm going to rip out the evening primrose also, or taks some over to the farm where there's more space.

The Garden programs on TV ought to devote some time to explaining how important it is to change your landscaping shrubs every 10 or 15 years.The Texus is past being great looking in so many housing tracks
.Many grow and cover windows.
We inherited Junipersthat had been growing 20 years they had grown so dense I couldnt get my crank bedroom windows open. I had 8 ripped out and started my gardens there.
Being a greedy megalomaniac things progressed from there.

Arlene you are lucky to have that space for primrose.Your plans sound great.

Arlene---what kind of knockout roses did you get? You will love them. I have single pink knockouts and two double pink knockouts. I prefer the singles. I have 7 or so of them forming a hedge along a fence. Wonderful, so disease resistant.

Amsonia 'Blue Ice' is finally blooming. This is my favorite Amsonia. It's so reliable and always puts on a nice display.

Well, here I just got off the phone with K.van Bourgondien. Tried to order by shopping cart but darn cart would not take my e-mail address. So I ordered by phone. Ordered 10 tango lilies and the oriental lily collection of 25 lilies. Also ordered 175 of the mixed Glamini gladiolas. I just love those glads and K.van Bourgondien is the only place I have even seen them for sale. Have bought them here before. Bought those lilies here before too. But anyway, these glads are so much easier to deal with than those tall regular kinds. And the colors are just outstanding.

So I did order again from Colorblends just now and got those French Blend Tulips.

I ordered 100 Honky Tonk which is a species and will be one of my returns each year tulips. Then in my first order from Colorblends I didn't order the French Blend and I don't know why. But they are blooming now (ones I planted last fall) and are just too stunning. This is thier own mix of single late tulips and the colors just remind me of a basket of easter eggs. Single late tulips never return for me but I just had to have them. So my order was 400 more tulips for me to plant.

The Amsonia is very interesting. Lovely shade of blue. That's a plant I've never tried and need to. The columbine are just starting to open here. Most of mine are seed grown ones. I really like this purple one.

This lavender one grows by the driveway.

The Blue Flax (Linum perenne) are also just starting. They don't last very many years for me, but do gently reseed just enough so that I always have a few blooming each year.

New standard dwarf iris open each day. This is With Castenets.


Rita, you have me looking at tulips. I didn't have any blooming this year and miss them. Your's are inspiring.

Beautiful Columbines! Mine are just about done blooming. That Amsonia is so compact and it blooms after the other Amsonia are opened. It's just a little later and seems to last longer. It's easy to make more by ripping up a side branch with roots. They always take for me planted directly where I want more. This 'Blue Ice' doesn't look as weedy as other Amsonias.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I was in the garden today and I got buds on so many things I was like a kid in a candy store. One beautiful daylily opened today called 'JADE GLOW' and Oooh-la-la!!
I love the Knockout roses and that is about all I have except a small 'O-so-easy, 'paprika'. Not many blooms yet and the few I get are sick looking.
Here are some white knockout roses called, you guess it, Whiteout! ~

(The corner garden.)

JADE GLOW


Eastern Bee Baum is just full of flowers, might get some more bee baum but am waiting for the other two to bloom. We shall see!
