what is that pink?

and that green ground cover with the yellow tulip? I have that stuff too and I hate it. I can't get rid of it.

Pincushion plant is blooming!

Diane - that is such a clear picture of a very pretty flower!
Lucky you - my pincushion plants never come back.

Thanks! It never died back all the way Lynne it stayed green all winter,, but then again we did have a pretty mild winter and it was mostly covered with leaves,, There are a lot more buds on it now then ever there was last year too!

Our crocuses (or croci?) have bloomed today, second to do so in the neighbourhood from what I saw! The geranium inside is putting out a bloom, the petals have left the calyx so it should be any time now the petals unfurl

I don't have good luck with geraniums inside or out. Go figure. They're like a week in everyone else's yard but I've never had great success with them and I love them.

Are pincushin flowers similar to batchelor buttons?

I know exactly what you mean Sheri, I bought two geraniums for .77 in a 4" square pot, I figured if they die, it's still just .77 each, if I keep them alive, it's better than paying 3.50 for a 4" pot in the summer. I see lots of huge geraniums in the windows of houses along the street. I usually kill them the second week I buy them, but I'm having some good luck this time!

I think pincushion and bachelor's buttons are similar, but pincushion is Scabiosa (I think) and Bachelor's Buttons are Centaurea. I think there are annual and perennial varieties of both things.

sheri? what is that? it's so pretty.

Very nice pictures Sheri!! Thanks for sharing! Someday I will have some to share!

I don't have good luck with geraniums either. I buy them every year and I keep them all summer but they never look too good. I don't know what I do wrong.

the daffodil?

you are too fast. i am refering to the top ones, the pink ones.

I love my Hyacinths!

those are so pretty laura. i need some...

Sheri and loz - BEAUTIFUL pictures of BEAUTIFUL flowers!!!

I can't wait for something to start blooming here already.
So far I only have a few small scilla in bloom - will try and get a picture tomorrow - I love the blue of the flowers.

yes they are!

tulip


Loz, that's a great angle.

money plant

ALMOST THERE!!!

Daffodils


Hyacinths

NICE!

lynne, how nice!1 you must remember to show us the hyacinths when they bloomed.

are they the grape hyacinths?? I love them !!!

Sheri I have tried planting money plants many times I just can't get them to grow for me here!,, At least I can enjoy seeing yours!

Lynne!! Yay It looking like spring is pushing thru for you!!

This is my first yellow rose of this season!

I am so jealous....again.

well, tamara, you are not alone----

Diane!!! That is a winner!!! Did I ever tell you that yellow roses are my favorite? That one is gorgeous! I cannot grow them here because the deer eat the rose bushes down to the ground - thorns and all!


psssst - I think it you crop that picture a little more evenly, you can definitely enter it into that contest that you won a few years ago!

Those are full sized hyacinths, Carol. Purples, blues and pinks.

Tina did sent me some grape hyacinth bulbs 2 years ago, but I don't see any signs of them this year - yet. They are much smaller than the ones I posted.

when I typed that I knew it was not right--but my brain would not work, & I could not figure out why it was not right------thanks for getting me back on the straight & narrow.

Only thing bloomin' here in Merced are my blood orange tree & my grapevines.

Jack Mandi clematis is blooming and lots more buds ready to open



more roses are blooming



the dianthus in the front I just planted this year,, But the little darker ones behind it I brought some seeds back from from CedarHill last September and planted as soon as I got back,, and now they're blooming!

continued from up there

More dianthus in the front yard



I don't know what this white and purple lone flower is,, but I like it maybe maybe more will pop up I've this dianthus here for 4 years,, so I haven't planted anything seeds here I guess the wind just blew it in,??

Gosh Dianne, everything is so pretty. That yellow rose is lovely.

Diane, everything is so beautiful, as is usual---and i am thinking that your flower looks like a small petunia---it is very pretty though, whatever it is----

Getting closer...

Your flowers are all so pretty, I'm using your pictures for my desk top ladies. They look great, hope you don't mind.

I want spring so bad, the pics are wonderful.
