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 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.

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.

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.

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!
