I think also their pic is taken in the shade where my garden pics are in the sun

You may be right! That could be the reason.

TBIs already opened and some getting there, last one the bloom(Victoria Falls) broke off so I had to bring it inside

Its so exciting.

Iris really getting going,these were rescue`s

Oh, there you are, Tam. I temporarily lost track of you.

How old is your granddaughter, Jo Ann?

She will be 21 in June. Almost done with college. DD is relieved. Thanks for askin.
I am hovering over perennials that are about to bloom.Mostly alliums and some iris. Lilies arent up but half way.
The freakie spring we had will make this years garden different for sure.

These are very, very beautiful. Do you know what kind they are? Love that shade of purple.

tarev said:My Gaillardias are showing more vigor now as more warmth comes in. Though it did manage to bloom sporadically throughout winter, as Spring comes, it becomes much more active:
Container 1

Close-up of blooms/buds, I think this is the Arizona Sun, this ones makes its blooms faster.


Container 2:
One stalk got knocked down a bit by the winds a few days ago, but it still continues to push the blooms on the bent stalk:

My golden yarrow during Spring looks so fern-like and it is also forming its buds:

Just an updated photo, blooms of the Golden Yarrow are now visibly very yellow:

Very pretty tarev!

So glad your Gaillardias like it there, for some reason they do not like my yard

Locking this since part 3 was already started.
