I actually found some time to get out into the garden yesterday afternoon and found lots blooming!!

Beautiful ! I do not recognize some of the plants. Could you tell me what each one is? ( daffodils are one of my favorites )

The first is a petunia but I cannot remember at the moment the name. 2,5 & 8gloriosa are oxalis.

Very pretty blooms Marie!

Thanks Marie for the info. I thought the first one was a petunia but it looked just a little different to me and I have not seen that color before. Very nice. Is the 6th photo blossoms from a fruit tree ?

Marie, you always amaze me..... over all these years I continue to be amazed at the variety in your garden! Gorgeous. I have a purple iris, some orange and Key lime blossoms, some wild violets or something, penstemon are beginning to bloom. Toad Flax and 1 of 12 Icelandic Poppies have given me a bloom. I think I need to look much closer tomorrow!

Marie, everything looks wonderful!!!!!

My oxalis is growing but I just don't get enough sun to force the blooms. I love living on a shoe string while I'm in school but miss two things: Having a dog and gardening.

Linda that petunia is on the less common side. It is an amazing bloom. I will see if I can find the name. The fruit tree bloom is from one of my almond trees.
Susie you need to post some pictures. Especially of the violets. I am hoping that petunia sets seed for me.
The second to the last bloom is a tropaelum from chile. It grows from a corm and is a very delicate vine. The last picture is some kind of minature iris.

Thanks Marie ! I knew that Petunia did not look like anything I had seen. I love it !

Marie, go check out Trish's article on "bulbs" on the "front page"... you'll want to add your expert comments!!

More Blooms!!

A few more

You have such a nice variety of plants, many I do not know. I enjoyed the photos.

Thanks Linda.

Here are some in my garden. I find that I'm heading toward mostly container since Lexie has lived here. She has claimed some of the areas of the beds. Trying to create some barriers so I can plant in the ground.

Popcorn acacia (cassia siena? can't remember) Not fistula, right?

Anenome

Primrose etc.

Variegated Vinca


Still waiting for white Brug (FishKnees/Runs_With_Scissors) gave a small start to me


Hanging from Key Lime


My little veggie garden. I find I don't get slugs and the birds don't pick at the plants if I raise them ... it's enough for me!

Those containers are beautiful!! I am not good with containers except for my South African bulbs.

Your containers are lovely Susie.

Nice garden, Susie !

Marie and Susie, your blooms are beautiful. I miss gardening but this is a dry season, so to speak.

Nice blooms Marie and Susie

This is the first season the petunias have become a problem in my garden....I have a lot of petunias coming up in my walkways and daylily beds.


petunias that are contained



These have self-sowed themselves as well....
