Diane, can you take a wide angle picture of your yard. You have so many flowers blooming.

Sheri these pictures I have posted lately are front and back yard,, The front yard is just now starting to bloom Bluebonnets and roses are budding,, the back yard get more full sun so everything that has come up the last 2 months are now blooming,, I will give it a go tomorrow at different angles I'd have to take several pic's to get it all,, Remember when it gets very hot here most flowers I have now will be dying back and I'll be enjoying all of yours and those up north, ! :wink: I'll just start a different thread, for the Yard pictures!

i believe it's called baby blue eyes or five spot (Nemophila pedunculata)

Yessssssssss Nemophila maculata Five spot,, That's exactly what it is,, Someone gave me seeds a couple of years ago and nothing ever grew,, Strange tho I had planted them in the corner opposite the dianthus,, I wonder why now? Odd isn't it?? and Only one,, but Finally I got one of them!! Thanks Kenny!!

Pretty flowers! Nothing like seeing pretty blooms to put a smile on my face.

Finally in full bloom!!!

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Lynne!!!!! And beautiful they are too!!!

Oh Lynne--youyr flowers are so very pretty !--I am glad they are blooming for you!!

white azalea



pink



Lady Banks rose

I know why McDonalds uses red and yellow.



cuz those colors look good together.

I think this camellia looks like a bell.



pansy

Lynne, your daffs look so pretty!

And Sheri, you have so many blooms right now, I''m jealous! Looks good!

Here's my double daffs.



My pink bleeding heart is getting ready!

Sheri I love your azaleas! Beautiful,,!!
and Loz your dble petaled daff's are awesome First time I've seen those!!

Lynne, I may be wrong but I think you sent me some narcissus bulbs that I put in pots and have blooming right now. Your daffs are so pretty but yellow is my favorite color.

Loz, your doubles are gorgeous.

Isn't nature wonderful. I love the colors. I think my ruffled tulip looks like some sort of bird with all the different colors in it. And I didn't realize the white azalea had pink in it until I saw the picture. And it looks like Lynne's buttercups are different shades of yellow while Loz's daffodils are one color. Lynne, one thing I noticed is that the buttercups (that's what I call the shape of yours) smell good and the other daffs don't have a smell.

Interesting Sheri - I've not noticed a fragrance, but I can't bend down to smell them for a few more days.

I love your azaleas - I either love them, or dislike them strongly, and yours are ones that I really do like! And your pansies are very pretty too - clean and fresh looking.

I don't think I was the one to send you the narcissis Sheri - I don't recall doing that?

Loz - I have not seen double daffodils - they are really pretty, and very different looking!

I don't like azaleas at all. They were here. I don't plant them.

wonder who sent the narcissus then - someone from here I'm sure.

Have you hurt your back?

The front of my parents' house is planted with overgrown azaleas - I grew up with them and they have never been pruned back, so they really should be taken out now. They bloom red, which is not a color I prefer in flowers, so they are the ones I do not like at all.

I had minor surgery on something on my leg just below the knee last Wednesday and it seems that I have been doing too much, as it keeps bleeding a bit each day. So I have to take it easier and try to stay out of the gardens for a few more days - it's so hard to do now that things are finally greening up around here!

Keep those terrific pictures coming Sheri!

Don bought me this peace lily for Valentine's Day this year and it is still blooming strong - the longest I've ever had one bloom for me. The flowers are so crisp and clean looking!

those are beautiful Shei, we have a frost warnning for tonight, I think everything is between blooms right now except the grape hyacinths on and my culibines are getting ready to bloom you think they'll be okay?

Nothing blooming here in the ground, but I saw a flower bud on one of my tulips. I cut some forsythia from my neighbours to give to my teacher (critical black thumb-er lol) and the ones I have inside have been in bloom for a week now (they sure keep well as cut flowers). The crocus and snowdrops are almost done blooming

there's a yard where no one lives and every year when the daff's bloom I stop with a olive jar (empty, use it cause it's tall like a vase) and pick a huge handful for ashley's teacher

it's supposed to be 31 here tonight.

Lynne, that lily looks fake - it's so perfect.

Your lily is simply beautiful, Lynne. whatever you are doing, keep it up.

My orange tree is about to bloom, I'll have pics up soon.

Goody!!!!

my orange tree is in a large pot. it too is beginning to bud.--i even have 1 bloom.--I so wish it had of waited, so it could be outside.-

do you know if I need 2 trees in order to have it polinate?/ or are they self-polinators???--I would love to have any size fruit on it.

Wow, the pics are so pretty...keep posting lots.

Dad's peach tree



Neighbors Cherry Tree--the birds go crazy eating all of those cherries!

I'd be stopping with a shovel

Nice pics Loz.

The sky is just so blue today I :ding: it....especially the tree flower pictures against that brilliant blue.

I do but I have other flowers to save first
usually I stop on the way back with the shovel

Answering JunieGirl's question...

Some orange trees need pollination by another tree others don't or I think they can all self-pollinate.

I got my q-tip out last year when the tree bloomed& played 'bee'--but nothing happenmed---perhaps it was the wrong time of year, or perhaps i did it wrong---then again it may not be a self polinator---.

But thannks emde for the answer.

This is the first violets to bloom this year. They originally came from the yard--back at our "farm", so I am very proud of them.

you needed 2 q tips a male and a female

just kidding

here's 2 of the places I dig
