My mom gave me a handful of bulbs that she had ordered last fall, she was too tired to plant them.(she was only 89 at the time!) Does it looks familiar to anyone? Cetainly different from anything else I grow. I think it's gorgeous! Lovey dubby

Love those ruffles!

Kabby, check out 'Sailorman' from Brent and Becky's- looks like a possible match.

I'm just loving the parade of beautiful blooms being posted, keep sharing your beautiful pictures.

My weepin Kwanzan cherry trees are finally starting to bloom, and the Blushing Lady tulips are still blooming. Hurray!

I got this African Hosta late last fall. The first hosta I've ever had in my life and am soooooo excited to see it's going to bloom! Hurray! I can't wait to see it.

Those little tulip tarda are such sunny, happy blooms! I thought all of mine had dwindled away but found a single bloom yesterday.

Annette, wonderful combo! I tip my hat to you.

I sure wish I knew what this little Jonquil is. It's a NOID, picked up in a box with nothing but daffodil on the box. The rest of the bulbs in there turned out to be Earlicheer. The blooms on this are so tiny. I put my finger in the photo so you could get perspective on the size. It isn't even as large as a dime. I love the darker cups in the bright yellow petals. Something has been chewing on the blooms too.

Some of the Earlicheer are finished, some are still blooming & some have buds. Shrug! These are doubles.

The Geranium are blooming but not in unison this year & far behind the last 2 years -- about a month later. I'm blaming El Nino for this. Everything is blooming late.

I see the crocosmia I planted last year are up about 5 or 6". This is good!

White downfacer may be Petrel - Some of these planted behind the fence were stuck in the ground almost as a afterthought; I had a shelf in the garage where all the forced daffs that year were de-potted awaiting transplanting into the garden; time to get them in the ground had nearly elapsed, so I just grabbed some and put them out there.

My short solid red Amaryllis is doing very well now.

This one has the smallest blooms of any that have opened so far.

It is fairly short also, that is it just to the left of the solid red one.

Sweetheart is on my short list of possible choices to force next year.
