February Blooms 2010

Come on and start posting your blooms!! I know there is an end to winter when my peach trees start blooming.

These are too sweet.

This is the first time I have ever had one of these return

Cute little oxalis I got 2 years ago. Finally bloomed.

One last oxalis. I bought one tiny bulb of this and the previous one. Not sure they were worth the 1 1/2 to 2 year wait but they are cute little flowers.

OK, Marie, rub it in....we still have lots of snow on the ground.
Your pictures are beautiful, especially the peach blossoms. I will have some probably the last of March, then it will freeze and no peaches. I am hoping for apples this year, hope, hope, hope.
Save that picture for the contest this year.

I love them, especially your peach blossoms!

My camera is broken...well, the disk you slide in is broken. So I can't post photos.

Marie, your peach tree is gorgeous! I have a tree outside my door that is super super tall and has little white flowers all over it. It is the one I posted on and off...with gren then fall yellows and reds. No clue what it is. Maybe I can snap a photo tomorrow with my cell phone.

I also love the others...especially the oxalis. Mine is growing but not blooming yet.

I'll play :) Pink Globe mallow

JoAnn, I love your picture of the road and snow, it reminds me of why I live in Phoenix. ;-) It is a good pic, really well-balanced and illustrative, too.

Love that picture JoAnn!! Katie figure that darn yellow dat would be all the way open now.
Boo I hope you can post a picture of that tree. You have my curiosity going now.

Great pics Katie!

Judyb,
And I don't know why I live here!!!! I am beginning to wonder, untill it gets 115 degrees in the valley.Then I am glad I live here. lol

Uh oh, looks like we have an annual lover in Katie you guys! Now all she needs is a bunch of blue pots and she's set.

JoAnne, if you run out of snow, you can go up to our cabin and shovel some away from the gates. ^_^ It's really not as deep as it looks, the gates are 4' tall. The deep snow in the foreground is from our grader operator's idea of how to keep people in their place. Grrrrr. But we are dying to get back home.

No flowers to show until May, so everyone's safe from me.

Great pictures, everybody !
Marie , some of my oxalis bloomed too and I have the versicolor in bloom right now.
I have not taking any pictures in a while since I did not have the heart to spend to much time in the garden without Lulu.
I've been there in passing and fortunately the rain took care of the watering.
I need to get back in the garden and see what is gowing on. I know that the hyacinths are putting up a show and one apple is almost done blooming and started setting fruits.
Katie, did you plant the primroses this year or were they there before ? I've never had luck over summer them.
What is that variegated plant near the trellis ? I love variegated plants and that looks interesting.

I have a versicolor blooming too. I only have one blooming and have not had much luck with that one. Yes get out and take some pictures and post them here!! I have lots budding right now!

Bought these Amarylis the first of Jan and they are now blooming. : )

And the other. I have one more yet to bloom.

I dug up all my Oxalis and brought them with me. They seem to be doing good. Still waiting on blooms though! I noticed in the pic I have what looks to be an Az Ponsettia that has snuck in.

That little guy just wanted you to remember all of us :o)

lol

I like annuals...and perennials...and succulents....and cactus....and pond plants....I'm an equal opportunity gardening addict! I'm going for the eclectic AZ version of the english cottage garden. Which means...I will do whatever I want if it works! No rules for me in my own back yard. I suppose i'm still at the "plant one of everything and see what happens" stage.

The primroses are new this spring. I expected they'd be annuals here. I grew them as annuals in New Jersey and Kansas as well. I have a friend outside of London who grows them as perennials, but he's the only one I know :)

The variegated plant, Rodica, is a bower vine. I think it's supposed to be pink.

What's the versicolor you're talking about?

And Marie, pics of your flax, please???

lol Katie....I'm wholly supportive :) BTW I think we have a purslane pro on here but I can't recall who it is....wait, I think it's Boo maybe, purslane year round.
