I never give up on a plant until the 4th of July. If it doesn't show growth by then it must be dead. Hilarious!

Saw a 'Purple Passion Mix' on American meadows. They don't look Pink like yours. Confused

I've just put that "Purple Passion Mix" on my want list.
Will give away the pinks and lavenders and keep the darks.
Maybe someone here has some dark, non-pink echies they'd like to trade.
Or anything perennial without lifting in zone 5 that's dark purple, orange, or blue???

I jumped the gun on the trading idea -
I'm pretty sure they'll come all mixed together in a bag, so I won't know which are which until they bloom next spring....

I'm getting way to far behind reading here. Springcolor, your gardens are fantastic. Chelle, Tamara, and Jen, love those tulips. And tarev, those posts are great.

Hope I didn't miss anyone. All of you have lovely pictures to show. I'm way behind on plants. A few daffs is it.
