I had just finished up most of the pile when another load appeared. No problem...I still have a lot of garden to go. Now it will be a race to see if the blooms or the weeds win!

Early arrivals...

i Florentina Always one of the first



Sneezy This one makes me smile!




Witching Taller than usual



Batik




the helpers - canine variety.

!

Love the Irises -- but LOVE the helpers!!!

What Mary Ann said..

I would ask for a piece of the black helper, but that would be a little gross.

He tends to leave pieces in places where I would prefer not to step......but I don't suppose you would want those.....

What Sherry and Mary Ann said.

I can almost agree with what Rob said, too... but I wouldn't want the little disposable pieces...

No, I'll take a pass on those pieces.

Good start to the season Pam, and the dogs steal the show!

Only a few dared to pop out today in the cold and wind.

Point Made
Slightly darker coloring than usual.



Merry Amigo Thanks Greg!



Teeny Bopper
One of my favorites!



And one of the other furry garden supervisors...



taking a break from ridding the world of mousies.

Nice ones. I should see Teeny Bopper here for the first time this summer.

Nice ones, Pam !!

, very nice.

Nice, in particular Batick, love the airbrush splatter.

Found something similar to i Florentina this afternoon. Not perfect but it's nice, I'll post a thread with most likely parents.

Love the helpers, Pam.

That's a beautiful picture of Teeny Bopper, Pam!! Should be in the database.....................

Glad "Merry Amigo" has bloomed for you. It is not going to bloom for me this year and it is in three "clumpette's". Bummer!

The recent cold, rainy weather has slowed down the bloom progress. Today it was warmer, so a few more made an appearance.
