woo hoo!!
2010 Garden Photos - Part 2
Crocus in 3 different places. while there were only 4 snowdrops, 2 of the are still in bloom. Our first set of I. reticulata 'Harmony' are in bloom. Oops, have to get the iris logbook.
Been there, done that. ^_^
wise guy - i also have three or four batches of them lucy - did not want to bore victor with more crocus:)
He can close his eyes, we all like to look at them. Anyone know about hybridizing crocus? Very tempting pollen on them. ' Harmony 'reticulata is blooming in a tight bunch along the driveway, there was once a large group of them there, then a single plant. Perhaps these are increases on the single.
nice - still waiting for the ones i planted in clumps last fall
my ret. iris are just starting to poke up through the ground.. so excited!!!
I took my dog on a long walk today and saw a yard with a bunch of crocus in bloom and some daffodils almost in bloom...very exciting. It's almost really here!
I have volunteer crocus in the veggie garden, with no idea where they came from unless they survived the compost pile. Ric
I've never planted a single crocus, HollyAnn...they just show up wherever they feel like it. I have a few popping up in some potted hostas next the the house. (I guess they spread by seed??)
:)
not quite open yet.. but close!!!
Thanks, everyone! Today and yesterday I had no time to take pics. Worked all day.
Looks like everyone has lots of nice crocus and such. Lots of signs of spring everywhere!
LOL! Weedy, you're funny! Yes, I had to get on the ground for those shots. Talk about lack of dignity for a fat, middle aged lady like me flat on the ground taking pics of flowers. And getting up is a bit of a job. I'm trying to do something about my weight and am working on strength training now, so hopefully, with more lean muscle and less fat, eventually all that getting down on the ground and getting back up will be easier for me.
Oh, nice to see you have cyclamen, JoAnn! Woohoooooo!!!!!!! Exciting!
Noreaster, is the soil in your hosta pots from your gardens? Maybe you got a stray bulb in there with the soil. I get them here and there, too, where I never knew I had them.

I'm not going to bother to pay WFF for the natueralizing collection and a map to how to get "the look"
I'll just throw thw mixed bulbs on the ground and let the squirrils decide.
JM just beautiful in the afternoon sun
JoAnn you just reminded me to look if my Harry has catkins yet
Maybe you do.Your 3 weeks ahead of me.
We are just getting catkins on the River Berch

Cream with pink
Purple crocus's too!
nice!!!.. I planted some mini daffs last fall too...can't wait!!
The ones up by the foundation are the first to sprout....I have a nice clump coming up too.
I am so amazed how far ahead you are... weren't you cursing me out last year???
I checked March pictures from last yer and there were no crocus where I have then now. Ithink we are a couple of weeks ahead.
Also Dicentras.
yeah!!!
Yes Allison I was, so are you cursing me out this year? LOL
yes of course
:)
Lovely spring photos! Loved the Harmony iris, & your cyclamen, Jo, & all those wonderful hellebores! Someone in town had a huge display of white & purole crocus in front of their stone wall....I'm planting more!
Wow - did Brian steal my giant magnifying glass idea?!!!
Great pics today, everyone! I did not get any shots today, but I have deep purple crocus blooming and one of my hellebore buds was open, too. I did a lot of cleaning up of beds, cut back the old foliage on the hellebores, and such today. I'm beat! What a gorgeous day it was. In the 70's here. I loved every minute of it.

I got a lot of cleaning and pruning done today, but no digging which I need to do soon. Lots popping up. Here are a few from today. Snowdrops still going strong. I only took a few shots as I was too busy trying to get all the mess from the last storm cleaned up. Nothing big, but lots of small stuff strune about.
Pixie, But no Narcissus here yet, though there is one that should pop tomorrow or on Monday. Patti
Very nice, Patti!
Victor, Thanks, I will post all the pretty yellow crocus tomorrow if I get a shot of them. One cultivar is a tiny yellow one that is charming and wonderful in mass, but I think it is mislabeled. It is much small than anything else I grow. I think I will need help with it's Id, but the picture I snapped today of it was useless for that or anything for that matter. Deleted it!
The Best news is that we had a zillion honey bees working the crocus today and yesterday. Patti
Lovely collage, Patti! I was at Lowe's today, and they had heather out with lots of honey bees at it. Wonderful!
Karen
Beautiful collage Patti!!!!
That collage is wonderful!
