A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat First signs of spring here-pics

We had lovely weather here today so I took advantage of the day and worked/played :wink: on my courtyard and saw first signs of spring here in my yard.

Take a look!


Hydrangeas in the front garden showing spring signs.


Mandevilla leaves starting to grow out.


Hibiscus returning


Was I ever glad to see this. Thought I lost my Tibo this winter.


Black Magic returning!

Are there signs of spring in your garden?

Very nice pics.

No signs of spring here

Thanks Tamara! When will you be seeing signs of spring in Canada?

Others, any signs of spring yet in your area?

spring? Depends every year. Last year it was very late. We got snow storms in May.

I couldn't believe I found these mother of thousands growing randomly in the rock garden,, I had that plant around the other side of the house,






and sedum is starting to bloom,......




Tulips,crocus, and grape hyacinth are also coming up

I am so jealous. No signs of spring here. Glad it has come to you though. Expect my spring pictures may be in July

tamara, hey, wishing for you an early spring as possible, :wink: let us know.

Hey Diane
You brought back vivid memories for me of your "mother of thousands". Never heard of that name. Had to google and realized it was mexican hat plant. Then I remembered having plenty of those. Too cool. thanks!!! What color do yours bloom? Your other first spring plants are very nice. What color are your tulips and do you leave the bulb in ground year round?

ladyslipper, so sorry. Hope you too can have an early spring, for you.

Okay, others?

IF anyone any of the mother of thousand plants they are looking to get rid of, I will trade!

As far as any signs of spring, I have a passion flower vine that is about 18" high and not slowing down! I also have 2 bridal wreath plants that are putting out new leaves. There are also some pansies that have 12-15 blooms wide open already. I can't wait for more!

Hi ya Stephanie!
Yep I leave them in ground all year, the colors are apricot, pink and Night queen,. My MOT blooms a pinkish color I have a thread on it around here somewhere with the bloom on it! I also have snap dragons up not yet bloomed and canna's are greening and leaves are out on some, grape hyiencths are up and iris's are about to bloom

Mommy ~ can you post pictures I wanna seeeeeeeee!

Yes Mommy, I would like to see your plants too!

Hi Diane,
Sounds like spring is there already! I'd love to read your thread on MOT's. Can you provide us with the link? I've not seen those plants in our area in quite some time.

Stephanie
There is the thread with the MOT blooming there is a picture of it fully bloomed a few post down from the top also!

leola, you are definately NOT alone !!

Your lucky if you'll have spring pics in July....I think it's just gonna skip us this year .

Sorry you guys, tamara and Juniegirl are still in the thros of winter. Hopefully, signs of spring will soon pop up for you. Let us know.

Diane, thanks for the MOT link. Love your pink blooms!

You know, Tam--I would not be the least surprised if it turned out that it did skip us this year.
