The photos tend to slow things down for the dial-up people so I try to limit it to 300 posts.
Same as always - spring beauties - foliage or blooms.
Spring Blooms - Part 6
very pretty
Thanks - forgot to say that it is my Mohawk viburnum. Smells fantastic!
Not much up here. Pussy willows have just gone by and the scilla is out now but very little forsythia. Narcissus 'Rip Van Winkle' looks great now though. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a very early, low, triple daffodil!
Ha! So far all I have is 1 count that - 1 open daff!!! That is it!!! Sorry I wish I had more to post about but it has been ccccold here the last few days - I hope the rest of my daffs and tulips make it! Eeeks!! However once things start a blooming I will be a posting!!!
Do you grow any clematis, Dawn?
The yellow flowering perennial...I have know idea what it is. I went through my shoeboxes of ID tags, and can't find it...after I rake in some new mulch, I'll check and see if I by chance buried it under some mulch. It's a nice clumper. That particular perennial was bougt in a 3" pot 2 seasons ago!
Victor-This Dirr book is going to cost me money! lol. To fill in the bed that I'm creating I want to, eventually, not have to look at my neighbors. I have a list going of small/medium trees and shrubs. I want to run them by you, or for that matter, the rest of the NE forum:
Amorpha, Aralia, Aronia, Asimina triloba, Callicarpa (not sure what one), Cercidiphylum 'Pendulum', Clethra (preferably a smaller cult. like 'Hummingbird' or '16 Candles), Disanthus, Enkianthus, or Rosa rubrifolia(R. glauca).
So far, the order that I've put together is a toss up between another Forest Farm order, and a first time Fairweather order...very tentative! Most, if not all of these plants will be in the back of the border...for the most part.
I have - and like - Asimina (Paw Paw), Callicarpa - a few different ones, C. Pendula (in a pot) and a few Clethra, including Rosea, Hummingbird and Sixteen Candles (very nice). I love Clethra's fragrance and they grow from full sun to pretty good shade and will grow in very wet areas. I have one Aralia, but don't know the name. You might want to consider Itea, Fothergilla, Enkianthus, Aesculus parviflora for part shade, sweet fern, sumac Tiger Eyes. (I could go on and on!)
Wow Victor, that viburnum is so beautiful! At first glance it reminded me of apple blossoms! Linda
Thanks Linda. It is a slow grower, but is over five feet tall now and full of blooms. This is a bit blurry.
Very impressive! I am sure a real treat after your long winter.
loved the pics hemhosta, especially the muscari and daffodil.
I have some of the dicentra formosana..... somewhere..... i'll have to take a look around for it and see what it is doing.
Good luck Dawn. Hopefully it warms up very soon for you. at elast there is one daffodil!---at least it's a sign of something.
looks pretty whatever it is Thom
My mom taking flowers from the yard to her twin sister who is in rehab. The twins turn 89 next month.

WOW! Pretty bouquet! ( pretty lady, too)

Dafs in front of my pool. Easter bonnet, I think.
nice viburnum victor- they smell amazing-
wasn't the little yellow flower basket of gold??- the shorter variety whose name i can't remember. Aurinia something or other.
here's pink drumstick primrose- I've been happy to find they seem to like most any soil.... i had thought they needed especially moist soil
ooh- nice bouquet, david, and wonderful mom.
love the daffs, ff
beautiful bouqet David as well as beautiful Daff's France1st.
I can't remember what the hosta is at the moment. I'll have to look on the tag.
I know we've already seen the bleeding heart, but I just loved the look of it this evenging with the sun on it, after many hours of cold rain today.
New growth on rhody's is always so interesting.
A witches broom on my camellia. I soooo hope to get some cutting going of it.
a closer look at it.
magnolia sunsplash looking up at me.
nice pictures everyone!
Ditto, I enjoyed all the pics.
I like Camellia and would love to find a spot in the yard for one.
Victor - I have that dicentra. It seems to be slowing down each year, but did real well in the beginning. I'm wondering if the afternoon sun is too much for it. I might have to move it this year. Is your Viburnum fragrant? I planted one this spring. It's a leatherleaf.
Mom has a beautiful smile David.
I'm not up on these technical names of plants. But we do have a bleeding heart (pink) that Marilyn DW transplanted to a new bed that we put in last year. It did well last year, flowering off and on most of the summer. This year it is off to a great start, very bushy, about the size of a bushel basket, with a goodly amount of flowers. I guess it must be located in the right conditions and light for its doing real good.
Maybe I'll call it the "pink bleeding dogwalkerest bush-a-folium"
How about that mouthfull Victor?

Great photos. Wonderful mom pic, David! Wish her a happy birthday next month. Anita - that viburnum - Mohawk - is very fragrant. Leatherleaf is not. I have to keep an eye on my formosa bleeding hearts this year since I lost the part shade they used to enjoy. Great name, Chuck!
Some blooms from this AM - My Bleeding heart is very happy!
Tulips
Lilac buds
Wow you all have been busy overnight and this am. All this spring bounty is very impressive. Beautiful pics and flowers.
I have two different fern leaf bleeding hearts. One in part sun and the others are under an oak tree. One cultivar I think is 'King of Hearts' blooms all spring, summer and into fall. The other nid blooms only spring to early summer and sometimes a bit more in the fall. Have lilac buds here also, it is early for them isn't it?
Lovely photos everyone! I'm always one of the last to have blooms so I enjoy everyone else, keep them coming please!!
Very nice, Anita! Here is Kerria japonica.
Crape myrtle leafing out.
Neighbor's dogwood.
New growth on Norway spruce.
'Shasta' viburnum. This will be absolutely covered in white in a couple of weeks.
