Last year I planted verbena "homestead Purple" I didn't get One bloom and it didn't seems to take to well where I placed it When it got cold I just covered it heavily with leaves and forgot about it until I was wanting a space to plant a brug , to my surprise when I removed leaves there were bloom buds, today I came home and found this!!




Needless to say I planted the Brugs somewhere else!

Those are nice. I like verbena.

Oohh Diane...

they r sweet...!!

i have some with da same flowers but da leaves r different... dunno what they r called... not Verbena i suppose..coz they dont have any fragrance... read that Verbenas r ... r yours fragrant??

Wow, Diane, those are beautiful.

Wow.....what a beautiful color....so vibrant!!!

Wow, what a nice suprise to have that peakin' out!

My Crocus are finally blooming , but, so far, only the yellow ones have shown their faces. I haven't seen any of the white or purple ones yet.

Okay, it took a little while, but I managed to get on Photobucket so here is a picture of some of my my yellow Crocus.



I've been moving some of my bulb plants today because I've found many of my Tulips, Daffodils, Mini-Daffodils and Narcissus are coming up in places where I haven't planted them . My squirrels like to dig up my bulbs and replant them in other places . They never seem to bother my Hyacinth bulbs, but I guess they're too big to handle.

I guess I better get in the "Back~40"
and take a peak at mine...
The bed should be at least starting to melt a
little cause it's raised...where my crocus's are..

Wow--pretty! I have lots of flowers blooming already but my verbena is just beginning to green up. I have pale yellow. Want to add purple this year.

How pretty is that!!!!!!

Pretty good to be seeing something like that come up in zone 6.

I'm zone 6a and there's not a thing out there - we've had a warm spell, but still there's a lot of ice accumulation - it will melt off soon though.

Very pretty verbena.

I agree with you Carly.....so nice to see isnt it!!

Carly & Penny, you should be seeing something coming up pretty soon. It seems one day there's nothing but some green leaves and then the next day you have color. What a GREAT feeling it is!

I have the tips of my tulips coming up by
the side of my house *the South side, that's raised, and by a cement walk and stone wall..
that I over winter dahlia's in*
so, I expect them up soon..
I just hope there's no FROZEN TEMPs' comin' soon!

Blooming today...



and...



Sure are pretty!

Weezie, I have tulips popping out of the ground, too. I thought I had moved them all to my bulb bed, but I have them out in the original tulip bed and beside my front steps...

Ohhhh how pretty Dianna!!!!!!!

Gosh Diana,
Those are simply beautiful!!!

Diana, your flowers are simply beautiful. I'm not even close to having any of my Irises blooimg for quite a while yet. They're starting to come up but still a long way from blooming. :rolleyes:

Thank you all for the nice comments!

I have been checking my bulb bed every day to find out if another treasure has popped up overnight. I planted so much out there, that I can't remember what is in there. I am afraid to weed right now because I am afraid I will be pulling up a flower!

Just keep posting Dianna...whether its a weed or flower...some of us up north would love to see a weed..since we have snow :p :p

You asked for it, Penny!



My "wish" weeds are blooming, too!

And what a lovely weed it is too ...thanks!!!

Diana,
I think that it's either Hawk's Beard or Groundsel....
*what does the leaves look like???*

Isnt it nice to see a weed right now Weezie...since our's are covered in the white stuff ...now ask me that question in about 2 months time :p

It is groundsel, Weezie.

I have always called it wish weed. I remember as a girl picking them and blowing them to make a wish. Didn't know until I was older that that was how the weeds spread...
