Here are the others and some on front porch now all of the flowers are new just hanging ones

Thank you penny,yah and for 7 buck can't beat it.the high school is cheaper the the store here,the kids grow them in the high school green house then they have big sale before school gets out too cool i think

I love hibiscus and all ur plants are so pretty jimmy.

Betty, I love the wondering jew (at least that's what mother called them), what is that first picture of? Those plants look fantastic!

First one is Bridal veil and yes some call it wander jew
but i have known it as purple passion and thank you glad u like them

Very pretty! I love all of those plants, and you can't beat the prices on them can you?

Wandering Jew is the very first plant I ever bought about 10 years ago. Since then I've always had one, cuttings off that plant, then cuttings off that next plant, etc.

More blooms!! This rain we've had followed by sunny beautiful days Have brought early blooms this year!! I'd better enjoy these while I can the dreadful heat will be here soon!!

This is my first marigold this year!! These are seeds I got from Penny last year and saved some for this year!! Thanks Penny!!!


Here's my Jack Manii Clematis coming back from last year!



And Victoria Blue Salvia from last year ~ came back much fuller this year!!


"Ice blue" Delphinium



And finally more snapdragons from last year came back fuller and more vibrant in color

WOW Diane!!!
Talk about "up close and personal!!!"
Your flowers all look so bright and cheerful!
That last picture of the snapdragons - I can just smell the sweet candy smell they give off - if you stick your nose right into them I think it smells like those candy necklaces - yummmmmmy! :wink:

Some tulips about to open yesterday, when it went from sun to clouds,
and now rain all day today.




[color:#FF6666]Same ones, different angle - they really are a very vibrant orange/red -
I just can't seem to capture the true color with this camera!

Wow Diane! You have an absolutely beautiful yard! You have done a great job with it! Very stunning pics! Thank you for sharing!

Ohhhhhh tulips I love them.

Thanks Jessica!!


Lynne No matter what color the camera captures your tulips as allll the colors are verrry Pretty!!!! I especially like the last picture (color) Almost like a sun burst of orange!!!

Peruvian Lilly

Gosh that is sooooooo pretty..
I love those plants..
I wish I could grow those....

(Alstrameria's are my most favorite though)

Another beautiful plant, Diane!
How long will those blooms last?

Are those a bulb? I'll have to look for some around here - did you plant them in the fall or spring?

I bought it already flowering a couple of years ago. I had planted it in the spring back then and it has tripled in size I have more starting to bloom in that area too!

Angel that is really a pretty plant. Maybe you could help me out with this. My hub grandmother had these pretty Lilies in her flower bid which they were like a white and red stripes as a matter of fact they looked like Peppermint...well I wanted to go over there and get some of them and bring them to my house but not sure if I need to take a piece off of them or go and dig the bulb part up or what. If you have any advice please let me know....Thanks

Tam I would say Dig up the bulb or tuber!!! It will spread in a couple of years anyway!!

My clamatis's are blooming like crazy! The Bee's Jubilee blooms are opening in masses and there a lot more buds still, and the Jack Manii's are trying to catch up. I had to get on my tippy toes and raise the camera over my head to get this shot,, ( I hope I'm not tiring you of repeat pictures,, this is my second year for them and they are far better blooming this year than last year)


Does anyone know If they will bloom again later once these blooms die off OR will it continue to bloom IF I remove the spent blooms??????

Once again, just beautiful, Diane!
We could NEVER tire of your wonderful pictures!

The 2 clematis that I have do not repeat bloom, but I don't know the names of them. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer your question.

I think they could show the same picture for a
week straight, and I'd still not be tired of it/them..

Gorgeous pictures and pretty flowers....

I love primrose Triss,, they just don't do well here! But your are very vibrant Love the color!!! YAYYY I've eaten a couple of my strawberries already verrry sweet!! I remembered what Weezie said !" water them good when fruiting!" Looks like you'll have a good supply of strawberries for Making Jam! Triss!! Yummmmmmy!!

I, too, wish I could grow primroses, but sadly cannot - very pretty, Triss.

And WOW on the strawberries - insert jealous graemlin here - but I'm giving them another try in a small hanging pot on my deck this year.

i love your prim roses triss!!!
i want to try strawberrys, yours look so healthy ,

everyone ----- simply beautiful pictures!!! you can be proud--
what a lot of work must have gone into the planning & care of these beautiful flowers.

Smiling today in my yard...

I bought 2 small plants of these geum coccineum "Cooky" last year for my orange "goldfish" garden. I wasn't sure they'd actually return this year, but they have, and here is the first bloom - isn't it bright and cheery? There are more buds to open...

WOW Triss - that's a LOT of blooms!
No wonder the bees love it!

This plant stand was at the pond store today - I thought it was very pretty!

~~~~>Triss,
Love that bush/tree...
Gorgeous flowers and sooooooooooo many...
I love any thing that provides food for the bees...

~~~>Lynne, that is sooooooo gosh darn pretty..
I love it..

You didn't happen to peak inside to see how they did it that way, did you???????

My daffodils, grape hyacinths and hyacinth.

ooooh more today!

Beautiful cherry laural Triss!! WOW!!!

Lynne the orange flower is quite cheery~can't wait to see it full of blooms, It will looks like little drops of sunset!!

yay Wrennie spring is really popping up all over for you!! Whewwww what a relief huh??

you know, i'm thinking, after seeing your pictures, maybe a cherry laurel is in order for my house!

Wewwww is right! It was 32* when i got up today. Still cant put out any annuals.

Wrennie - your pictures are BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love how clearly you got up close - sooooooo pretty!

Weezie - sorry, but I didn't sneak a peak - there was too much to look at, at this place! I'll try and ask them when I go back in a few weeks!

As many of you know, I always insist I am not a gardener.

These are in my front yard due to my husband's efforts.

Thanks I'll let him know.

He'll probably not even get to see them because he is out of town until next week.
