Ah, i haven't been abe to getany foxglove to germinate. I may have to resort to buying a plant.

Susan, i may be able to resize but i think it's too low resolution. The iPad takes much better pics. I'll stick to that.

Arlene - you got your first dahlia bloom already

Since all my amaryllis,peonies and irises are done, next up are my dahlias. I have maybe another week or so before mines will be blooming.

My favorite Clematis 'Rosemoor' is blooming. I love the color combo it makes with Japanese Painted Ferns at the base of it.

That combo looks beautiful. They go so well together.

My peas started blooming. Well, one type. Exciting because I love to eat peas fresh from the garden.

Great color echoes.

I knew these would potentially look good together, but I had no idea that it was so nice until this morning. I have these right by the front door. I love it when something greatly exceeds what you expected. That Clematis was from Bluestone Perennials' 50 percent off sale two years ago too!

Yep for me that doesn't happen to often(exceeding what you expected). It should stay striking for many weeks. Just beautiful. Picture of your new tree when you have time. Like to see the black foliage.

gorgeous combo, how much sun can those ferns take?

They can tolerate sun in the morning and early afternoon here. I was surprised how tough they are.

A few shots from the garden.

Not open all the way but I was excited to see this so early.
a poppy outside then inside.

New Iris/Daylily garden made last fall.

wow you have blooms everywhere
very beautiful

Beautiful! Is that Clematis called 'Josephine'? I wanted it last year and didn't find it. There's always next year. LOL. The weather there looks so nice. Here it gets really hot this time of year.

Everything is very beautiful Spring!!

Thanks everyone. Not hot here, I think winter is back!! Pulled my winter coat out again.

I think your right Clint but I'm not 100% sure. I planted that years ago.

Clint, if you like Josephine check this one out.

Wow. I have to put that on my want list.

Clint, I just bought two of them from Bluestone 50% off sale and a lot of other stuff.

Love that one Susan. I have clematis omoshiro coming from chefmike co-op suppose to have 7-8 inch blooms. Can't wait. A nice pink too.

I bought 'Piilu' this year and it didn't make it. Was from an ebay seller and everything else was great, so I didn't complain. Really looks like a nice one. Love the poppy. Don't think any of mine reseeded this year.

Susan, Bluestone has everything on sale for 50% off and you can really get some good deals. If you hurry you can get one before they are all gone.
