DH and I walked Rusty around the garden this morning to allow Rusty to get more used to being around my plants and to see what's blooming. I've only got a few Iris blooming. I have not been able to find any scapes on my daylilies, yet. I'm a full 3 weeks behind last year and might be even more. Strange weather!!!

Oh Michele, I was looking at the plants I got in last fall. The gift fan of Dragonfly dawn that you sent me, is now 6 fans. THey are small, but there are 6 fans!!!!!

Mona, WOW, 6 fans.

It was in the 50s this morning so not too many opened good.

Here are a few

MONA OF GASCONE



BUDDY'S BETSY (future intro-probably this year)

Lovely! Nothing to note here. The daffodils are on the way out and the tulips about ready. At least everything is growing though! I did find my first canine land mine of the year though...

Ok Michele, I'm gonna have to be at the top of the list for Mona of Gascone. I know they were high last year but, I WANT ONE!!!!! Maybe you can give it a shot of go juice like you did my fan of Dragonfly Dawn and it wll multiply like little wabbits.

I'm sure glad to start seeing blooms in your part of the world. Nary a scape in mine. Strange weather.

Today's blooms

TET IMPISH DELIGHT


BIT OF BLUE

We had a few blooms yesterday, but it was still really cool so nothing opened up well.

We are forecast for even cooler weather next week. We will have one day of 80 but then the rest is highs of 50s and 60s with one day in the high 40s. The nights will be 30s and 40s. STRANGE weather for sure this year.

I hate that weather forecast.

FINALLY -- temps are up to 90 by today, and things are definitely looking up!

SPINEFELD - WOW !!! And they were so right when they said this one has lots of teeth in cooler weather!





MARINA DEL REY - Another WOWSER! It's starting to look a little more like their picture, but I love it just the way it is!



ART GALLERY SWEET TOOTH - Starting to show the beginnings of some teeth now.



PIRATE'S PRISM - A really BIG bloom -- love it!



BURMESE JADE - I suspect I won't ever get the big lush edges their picture shows, but iI think t's a beauty all the same!



VIVACIOUS SPIRIT - This is a beautiful big flower, but since I'm putting pollen on the blooms I have to take the pictures really early, and this one doesn't seem to relax until a couple of hours later. But it's still a beauty!



ROLLERCOASTER RUSH - Just starting to show the beginnings of the serrated edges now.



LILLIAN'S FRILLY FILLY - I love this one, Fred!



SYLVIE BLONDEEL - It's planted in a flower bed rather than in a pot, and unfortunately I didn't get out there to get my shade shot before the sunlight hit it. Oh well -- next time...

Yay for all the blooms! Thank you, thank you for posting them.

I had three open today but didn't take pics.

Great pictures!! ~

Beautiful! PIRATE'S PRISM is so different. Really interesting.

WOWOWOWOW Betty, those are all so wonderful. Yeap, they are all looking like real winners today.

Thanks guys! I'm totally thrilled with all of them, needless to say!

Betty - Your Pirate's Prism has a lot more pizzazz than the one in the Floyd Cove catalog. I love the extra white streaks yours has in the eye. Very different and striking!

I was thinking the same thing. Love the one above.

Thank you! Isn't it wonderful?

Great blooms everyone, very few registered plants blooming here, but lots of scapes.

Spinefeld and Marina Del Ray look really pretty.

It had been too cold here in the mornings to have them open well, so I haven't been taking any pictures. This morning Great Gatsby is blooming a pretty near white.
