Blooms ..............at Last..

L@@k

Very nice, Barb. Was it worth the wait? It was for me. Kind of extends my season.

Definately was worth the wait and work......

I was out planting 2 apricot trees.......And moved a clematis to another spot.
Plus clean house and do the wash and hang it out to dry.

Maybe I will sleep well tonite.

:ding:

So beautiful!!!

Thanks Eva..

In person the Purple is so much deeper purple and almost shiny.. The camera does not pick up purple right..

Thanks cricket...

In the second photo what are the purple flowers? Also the 3rd one? I have them both and don't know the name. Your flowers are gorgeous. I just bought the hyacinth over the weekend and hope they bloom this year for me!

2nd Photo purple stripe is Crocus

3rd photo is violets that come back like crazy.. Our bank gave them out an they never die..

Penna here .Your very close to us.

so I have to ask what is growing by the violets?

You're flowers are pretty. You have a big space in which to plant don't you.

That plant by the violets.....Is Jacobs ladder , new type given to me last fall.
It grows like crazy.....

I like it .

I live in the Eastern Panhandle of WV! That is cool to see someone close on here.

What is the yellow flower's name? Thanks for the names. I know some names of some flowers but just saw what I liked and got and planted it. LOL Now I am trying to learn more and do better with my flowers and landscaping.

The yellow flowers are the Daffodils (Latin name is Narcissus).. They are bulbs you plant mostly in the fall.......
ANd they do come back yearly and multiply.

Perennials come back yearly .. the daffodils are perennials.

I also have tulip bulbs planted.
Lilys......another show stopper. Bulbs.Few others.. i started out just like you till I hit the seed swappers..

Just jump in.

Thanks! Something so easy lol. I did notice how quick they multiply each year. I use to think Iris's were lily's. I am getting some of the white daffodils this weekend too. I am transplanting everything for my mom so we can get her house all dolled up.

I've never seen such a large clump of double daffodils! Any bulbs that I buy that are marked 'double' are never double, or they are double one year and revert back to single the next Now I know what they mean when they say Jacob's Ladder has silver foliage! I never really understood what sliver foliage meant until now

Thanks Kenny,

I never really knew they called those double daffys. Now I do.

However I prefered the trumpet shapes over those.. I never thin them is why they are so clumped.

I have 3 types of Jacobs ladder now.. MY favorite is later type. Green/white.

I just gave the last of the seeds away.

Thanks for looking .

Beautiful dodge! I enjoyed your pictures!

Thanks Diane

Glad someone does..LOL

Hey Dodge I planted the Straw flower seeds you sent! Keeping my fingers crossed!

love straw flowers Diane. They don't always come up for me.

Dodge, have you always lived on that farm?

Yes .......My daddy owned a dairy farm .

Then Hubby and I bought a small hobby farm.. No town for me.

Hope they grow.. I think mine came back last year.

I like their style..
