Jumper, that's a gorgeous iris!

Yes love the color

Muscari are blooming accompanied with dandelions. But I love blue in the gardens. I struggle with my camera as well. Daffodils going past in front of our wall & Gentle Giant in bloom near driveway. Here is photo from a few years ago.

The Viola (probably sororia) in my front lawn are blooming wildly. Previous picture and some discussion in my post here:
https://garden.org/thread/view...

Meanwhile, the big patch of the same plant that I transplanted years ago (and filled in bare spots with more transplants each year) has just a few leaves of a few plants poking above ground. Most plants there are either dead or waiting until later and the live ones aren't near flowering yet.

Edit (semi reply to RobinD): Grass is the plurality plant in my lawn, but certainly not the majority. Blue bugle, dandelions, clover and moss are all ahead of Viola and there is a lot of Viola. I don't know the names of the other weeds and it is hard to estimate whether any of the unidentified ones are also ahead of Viola. I transplanted lots of blue bugle, moss and viola from where I don't want them to where I do. But none of them have been cooperative about that on either side. They recover fast where I removed them and do poorly where I put them.

My lawn is covered by violets...and dandelions....& pussy toes.....everything but grass!

This is SDB Sunsprite. It's one of Mom's ( irisarian)

Pretty yellow.. same here Marilyn.. tons of seeds in the grass .. the dandelions cause me stress.. hate using chemicals .. no way can I pull them all .. but will try my best .. last year I just gave up .. realized I wasn't getting anywhere

I hope I don't get kicked out of the forum for admitting: I just used "weed and feed" for the first time yesterday.
I simply can't weed enough to keep the grass as the plurality plant in the lawn. Blue bugle and dandelion are stronger every year, despite the weeding. Now I'll find out whether chemicals work.

Meanwhile, the other type of Viola growing as a weed in my yard (mainly places other than the lawn) is blooming in a bunch places, and of course not blooming in the place where last spring I transplanted lots of it into one concentrated strip. Getting decent comparison photos is on my to do list. Those flowers are even smaller than the flowers on the Viola in the lawn and getting a photo with detail beyond a small purple blur will be difficult.

Tulips galore

Jumper, Sunsprite is very pretty! Love the many petals! Allison, could access the video...it was just all black.....Can't use chemicals here....my well is right in the middle of the front lawn.....just thankful, it looks green....well, yellow & purple this time of year!

muscari in bloom here, accompanied by dandelions.

Bummmmer

Video was black.. showing the many lightning strikes ..

No juding on weed and feed .. I used preen at my old house .. we have a well for water here .. don't need to be drinking any if that .. so only when necessity calls .. will i use chemicals .. covering some unplanted areas with cardboard and mulch now

Love the tulips .. keep em coming.. didn't even try to plant any here with the deer

It's thefirst year since three years back I have seen the blooms.
I have a new repellant, BOBEX works great.

Allison, I'm losing it!!! Jo, I will look for it....maybe I'll have alstromeria this year!

Robind. I think it's at HD.
Almost the end of Redbud blooming. What an awesome treat. The second year since planting.

It really took off, didn't it? Lovely tree....we have redbuds in our downtown area, planted by one of the HS classes....they are marginally hardy here......many have died, but the few remaining are very pretty! I'll check out HD for the repellent someone told me they have white creeping phlox which I'm planting on the road side of my fence.....

Sounds lovely.

No worries Marilyn.. just happy you keep trying to play with technology.. just don't get discouraged

JoAnn I bought some of your repellant .. will see how it goes .. boy does it stink LOL

Lilac opened .. smells great

Allison: I think the BOB in BOBEX stands for Bobcat urine .
I used the 3 cups to 2 gallons of water dilution, supposed to last all season but I will re apply when hostas are up and daylilies are budded.
