Thank~You for posting those..
I loved them..

Your Welcome Weezie!! Are the pictures supposed to be sized differently now??

Nope, not sized any differently..
but when you typed it up, the words were side of
the pictures, making them go off more off the side
of the page, so I just straightened them in a row,
as opposed to zig~zaggy.. sorta... *thumbs~up*

Ohhhhh Okay!!!! Thanks Weezie !! LOLOLOLOL

Ohhh Triss that camera took beautiful Pictures!! The shimmer is stunning!!! I'm sooo liking that camera!!! I'll have to let Jimmy Know about your AV It is awesome!!!!

This bud bloomed out..,


Last year My white tulips didn't bloom this is the first white one this year!

Thank ya Penny!

Really nice flowers, Diane and Triss!

I really like the blue flowers - how long do they bloom, Triss?

Diane - your picture of the single clematis is gorgeous!
And your dianthus looks soooooo healthy! I used to grow it too, but it bloomed one beautiful flush of flowers, and then just sat there getting all browned out til a few stragglers came along - decided it wasn't worth the space they were taking up.

Kenny - that purple is so regal looking - love it!

It's so nice to see everyone's flowers on yet another gloomy day here. It is supposed to get to 70 finally tomorrow, but then down into the 50's for the rest of the week. I'm soooooooo ready for spring already!!!

Oh, I didn't realize that the muscari are true blue!
I hope the ones that Tina also sent me were able to survive this strange winter we had this year - the area is finally out from under the latest snow today!

wow their all so pretty!!!

diane! you so lucky your roses are bloomin! very beauitful! you too trish! never seen a shimerinf flower before!

My climbing roses are really budding out maybe when the rain and wind snapped the arch in 1/2 it shocked them into budding LOLOLOL It will be a few days before they are opened and then I'll take a picture K..

This last one is just beginning to open it is on Billie's rose bush. Strawberry plants are blooming (at least I think I remember I was told they were strawberry) little white blooms no shot of them.
Everyones flowers are so very pretty.

Lovely Jimmy!!!!

Beautiful bloomers, Everyone!

I have some more, too!







I was sooo excited when Jim came in today and told me that I had more blooming going on outside. I haven't been outside since Monday...

And even more!







Sure is looking pretty around here, if you don't notice that the grass needs cutting and the beds need weeding!

Beautiful Dianna!! I love the yellow and red !! I've never seen one that color It's awesome!!!!

My gaillardia goblin blanket flowers have started to bloom!!
They pretty much stayed Green all winter And I did cover them from time to time due to freezing temps But Here's my first of this season. The seeds starting behind it is gaillardia Plum.


below is Gaillardia Fanfare ~ These were seeds are from Alan that he sent me several months ago, I have transfered three times from seed pots to Ground I have my first two blooms and More are coming!! YAY!! Thanks Alan for the seeds These have done wonderfully for me!!




more grape hyacinths~~



And this one I don't know what it is~~ Do you??

I thought they did Triss But when When I told Alan they were blooming already He said he has had success with blooms the first year!! At least these have.. maybe it's the variety??
I'll see with the plum gaillardia's

Triss when these(fanfare) got their first set of leaves the leaves looked slightly 'fuzzy' untill the second set of leaves came on where as the Plum Gaillardia is more of a smoother leaf

Ohhhh Yay Triss I love the color, the yellow in the center looks like a ray of sunshine!!! I know you are soo loving that new camera Girl!!!

AWESOME Triss!!!

Beautiful flowers!

Diane, those blanket flowers are awesome...

I didn't even know that pansy could be red, Triss! I love it!

Just a few hyacinths and daffs blooming right now! The tulips are gearing up for bloom though!

beautful flowers!!!

Beautiful Loz!!! I know your happy seeing your first blooms ~~ YAY spring!!!!!

The package Said "Queen of Night" Tulip But it doesn't look like the picture on the package . The picture looked much darker and it didn't have any cream colored in ,, after looking it up differents sites have said " a dark Maroon closest to black" But none of them said anything about cream color mixed in~ Now i don't know it this is a Queen of night or not But It's okay I still like it!

More pretty and bright flowers all - thanks for sharing - especially on yet another dull, dreary and cool day here! My bulbs have grown a few inches now, but we might even get some snow flurries on Friday - so keep posting those lovely flowers!

All these bulbs blooming are so pretty. You can't beat the smell of hyacinth in the garden, and the daffodils, and tulips lend some beautiful color...

Here is my newest bloomer:





I don't know it's name, but it sure is a pretty peachy color...

Rock garden sitting area is coming back to life!!
