Wow, I guess...very nice to see this time of year.

I've never had portulaca blooming this late in the year.

Very pretty, Sheri!

I was going to say that .
Portulaca in bloom .. All of it is pink huh?

Mine was different colors.

b

yes it is!!! congrats.

I was so very excited----Yellow Snow Crocus 2011 !!!!

Look what I saw in the flower bed out by my front porch !!!!!!! first bloom of teh year--well first at my house
This was more open right after church when I first noticed it, but I didn't take this until later in the day--

If you noticed the date--I took this last Sunday !!!

Awesome!

Thanks Bill.
These little flowers kinda make the snow we had Friday insignificant--well "kinda"--

21 days and counting !!!!!

Bill where is my picture ?????

Did I "do" something ???

ok so delete this post---first my photo was there then it was not & then it was---- I dont know waht I did but I promise to try to stop...

I don't have a picture yet but my winter jasmine is in full bloom. I love having color out there and I don't mean my brown leaves and green weeds lol.

Now that I have moved I have a clean slate not a flower planted anywhere,, SOOOOOO Today I planted some dianthus,, I've got the fever now for spring! LOL OH I also put a geranium in the ground I've never planted them in ground before only in containers,, we'll see how the ground works out for it!

Tammy, Diane----sounds good. We will bring spring here my shere will if nothing else.

Here is the picture of the Winter Jasmine.



Next to come up are some crocuses I think. The deep purple ones.

Nice I can't wait to see some colour showing in my garden.

Wow..flower pics already for a few of you. That made my day

I have rocks placed got some more dianthus and ready to put in ground,, I have more rocks to place and more ground cover sedum to buy but eventually the rock area with be dianthus and sedum this is along the sidewalk going to the front door,, with crapemyrtle trees already there,, this taken with my cell phone as my lap top media card slot doesn't work anymore,,, as you can see the ground hasn't been taken care of,,from previous tenants,, so I literately have a clean slate to work with

I hope those boys helped place those rocks Diane.

Wow.....I am so glad to see 2011 flowers!
This winter has really funked me out...

yep help put them on the dolly and that's it

beautiful Diane---

Very nice, I think I'm a bit jealous. We got another 2 inches of snow on the weekend. :(
And here I thought it was warming and I'd be able to do something soon.

Here are my first few crocuses. They are hard to see and I apologize for that. I'm definitely not a photographer.

Beautiful flowers, Cindy--and yes after this last winter, even the dandelion is beautiful----(well for now it is)

and TK I missed yiur jasmine earlier too--it is gorgeous as well.

see?? I thought the crocus was posted by Shani--I must be in a dream world--sorry gang

Im curious as to what your first picture is of Cindy and when did it bloom. I'm always looking for something to add to the garden.

I will ask Bill what that is....it's some kind of early weird iris with a name I can't remember. It's tiny like a crocus. If you want some I will send you some seeds...it multiplies from it's seeds every year as well as the plant getting stronger and bigger. I got it out of my old yard.

Pick me pick me--I want some seeds fro m "the strange Iris"---

OR--ask Bill what it is & I'll buy me some seeds....

If you have a couple of extra seeds I'd like to try and grow them here. I could put them in front of my regular irises. Thanks for offering to share. I just need a few. I've got just about all the beds I can handle already in the garden. Can you believe that? I have a hard time believing that. It's only the beginning of the third growing season since I moved in.

Bill said it is Dutch Iris.
They are teeny tiny...like the size of a crocus.

I will get some for both of you...but they won't bloom again til next year.

I am a patient person---honest.......

My crocus' aren't up yet. Though I think I saw aomething green trying to poke out of the garden near the house in a very sheltered spot, not sure what yet, but maybe as it warms to above freezing this weekend I'll get a look and see what it was.

Thanks cindy. I'm patient too. This gives me time to make a place for them. Maybe I won't even have to move them one hundred times lol. I'm so not a designer.

I've hear that some of them will even poke there noses out with snow still on the ground. I'll cross my fingers for you.

yea Cindy--thanks--I temporaly forgot my manners--sorry. and ohm, I cannot spell either---

The keyboard hides half of the keys I just know I pushed down. Where's that smiley face that is whistling and looking innocent?

here ya go TK

lol, yep that's the one. Thank you for finding it for me.
