Enjoy...n have a nice day!!
i believe that somewhere in da darkest night...a candle glows, i believe for every drop of rain that falls...a flower grows....
Holly Cow there all gorgeous -- sure does help to be in a flower friendly environment. I am looking out the window at a snow storm again this weekend and I cant see across the road for white snow. If I plant here by may 24th long weekend it might even be too soon. MyBlueWaterLily is my favorite so far along with this one MyWaterHyacinth...
The infinitesimally small seed that produces the giant is the winner...
I've seen scilla, daffs, and some tulips blooming this morning. Everything is coming out now, the daylilies, my arum italicum, alliums, grape hyacinths, the buds are breaking on the forsythias and lilacs

I got you beat....I have a very old clunker house and I do like it . More room than most modern homes.. And I have land with it . We don't complain.. We like living with frogs and air. LOL
yes yo udo have me beat. we had 5 acres in the middle of 4 fields. we had a home built in 1914 with an upstairs and an attic for storage, but just a cellar for the sump pump, the furnace and the hot water heater. (3 BR--1 bath, with washer/dryer on a closed in porch)
now I have 1/2 acre that used to be a field. a house built in 2004 with a full basement and an attached garage. I have 3 BR and 2 baths---BUT i h ave a converted field for a yard and my rooms are smaller that at the farm. Thing is how it all is set up makes it much easier to entertain people.---
I DO miss my attic and my yard though

We live in town for 9 months . ANd neither one of us could stand it. Landlord was so nosy.......
However it was so boring living upstairs only.
Made us make up our minds fast......Get out of town. I have 4 rooms down . 4 up plus bath, attic and full basement. concrete but not new and dreamy.......
I have seen worse. Lotza folks like my house. Oak floors downstairs with oak wrap around steps banister up. Oak steps.
this is not new & dreamy, dodge---just a house that happens to be new---not grand by any measure---1500 sq feet--the farm house was 1800 sq ft.
i know you could sell your home tomorrow---we sold ours 3 times before somebody actually got it.---everyone wanted it, no one wanted to actually buy it.
I miss my home but Rod thought us moving was best, so that is what we did. "town" is only 1,000 people. and the yardsa er still nice sized so you are not living right on top of everyone like in the BIg cities.--i am in no sub division either, just on a dead end road, towards the end of town

My gosh are they huge mangos and caladiums..........I love that.. If only my cala would just stay....... Gosh you must have beautiful gardens there and friends......Were all English by speech .Ha ha
Thanks Nor for sharing with us Other Englishes.. PS I am POLISH..LOL
Here are the first of my yellow tulips in bloom yesterday - gotta love my yellow!
BUT... why is it almost every PINK tulip that I buy as bulbs grows RED in my gardens??? Is it because I buy them at lower priced stores and they don't get in the right bulbs for the packaging??? Or is it something in my soil? I just do not get it, and I do NOT DO RED flowers!!!
They look just like my tulips Lynne....but I bought mine red because I love red. I ordered some pink daffs off Brecks a few years ago, and nope they are NOT pink---they are yellow.

I did the same, loz--and from Brecks as well. Mine came up yellow too.---but i think it was because I planted all my daffodils in a row---yellow then white then pink--all came up yellow--i think it had to do with the proximity.---but here in this yard thre is not the room to spread out my bulbs, so all I have is the few yellow daffs i brought from 'home'---they were valarie's, so they got picked for the move.
The experiment will be planting the red tulip bulbs I got as gifts on easter--they were red this year.(forced) so we shall see what color they come up as next year.-- --pink would be good-----
OH, NO !! Dodge---don't tell me we are all sick ????

Thanks dodge Billie planted that deep red one when we moved here told me to never prune it. Every year on date of her death (today)it blooms in full. This was the last rose she saw and smelled also. Diane brought the Angel trumpel cutting to work to show someone what it looked like last fall. I brought home put under my lights on my plant cart and it just went from there. I now know I can take cuttings of them and have fresh plants in the spring, glad you like it. Do you need any seeds I have a few (thousand). To answer your question they have a wonderful sweet smell to them.

Meet Clyde my Male Sugar Glider. Clyde says Keep it organic.
Jimmy I want some of the Purple angel trumpet seeds,, I guess I gave all mine away,, I can't find them anywhere ,, I looks a few weeks ago cuz I wanted an early start,,
I can't believe you have one blooming already I'm soooooooooo jealous!!
"Grace without perfection is more to be desired than perfection without grace."
That is a nice story. I arent into roses but yours are beautiful.
THanks for the seed offer.. I still have datura doubles seed here.. I will keep you in mind if I ever do.
I have just 2 rose bushes , orange and half a blue........But they are pretty till the japanese beetles arrive.. My leaves are never that nice. Good job.
Beautiful roses both of you....Jimmy yours look so nice and healthy and the leaves are so green....and Diane, yours look so pretty framing your entryway like that. Love all of them.
I took this today, it made me think of Lynne and her lack of pink tulips. I didn't even know I had any pink ones so I was surprised.
Couldn't pass up sharing this beauty of a tulip.....these doubles just bloom gigantic blooms!
I looked!! They are huge! I love them! Just ordered some Obviously they won't ship till fall but I couldn't wait because I don't want to forget or have them sold out.
That's funny that you ordered them already. But hey, it'll be a nice surprise because you'll probably forget you'd ordered them by the fall. I just cut a few of them and put them in some new small bud vases I bought the other day.
I'm going to get some of that basket of gold Allysum, and plant it at the bottom of my Sunflower patch, with a mid height plant thrown in too. I can't wait to plant stuff.
they sell creeping phlox as a perennial here z5 so I'm guessing it does ok up here

My poor garden is terribly confused this year. Some of my flowers have stunted growth, some are coming too soon, some too late, and others not at all. I wish our stupid weather would make up it's mind already. We get a couple of spring days, then cold and raining again. Then we were teased with an 80 degree day and a week later it was snowing! I'll take some pics and then you can really see the difference between how my garden bloomed last year compared to this year. And I think I may have lost my chocolate cosmo. Hope everyone else is having better luck than me.
Beautiful rose! and beautiful black (dew) berries! I've been mowing the trails all week. gonna get them kidos out picking me some berries this weekend. Hey, Jiffy...it looks like here we are gonna have a bumper crop of berries! Are your's performing better than usual? We had some strange weather this winter/early spring. Why some years more berries than you know what to do with, and some years next to nothing?

Ah, summer, what power you have to make us suffer and like it. ~Russel Baker
We have blackberries in June usually. I always pick them and make some jam and freeze some for pies or blackberry crisp or something. It sure takes a lot of them to make something though. I have to go out and pick for hours. Tristen helps but he eats pretty much every one he picks. I got stung by a bee or wasp when I was picking last year. I didn't see it but I sure felt it! At first I just thought it was a thorn and then it started throbbing. I went to the house right away and it felt like my hand was going to fall off.
Wow...such lovely flowers...most of which i can never dream to see or smell in my garden.... well we've gotta b thankful of what we have...at d moment i have these 2 roses in bloom.... but here we never get such prolific blooms s u all do out there..!!
Have a nice day!

These have popped up all over my yard; in the grass, in the flowers, everywhere. I like them. Does anyone know what they're named?
I'm thinking bloodroot?

How COOL are my 4 new hanging baskets, with my $10 off they were $7 something each instead of $9. Got them at Lowe's.
Does anyone know what the yellow and white flowers are?
Coreopsis and Bacopa?
