More daffodils are showing their lovely blooms. These are way up in my backyard.



I can't wait for the tulip show to start. I have tulips popping up all over my garden.


Meantime crocus bloom for me here.

Maria Daffs. I love this daffodil.

Very pretty lucky you to have blooms.

Perennials are really popping out of the ground. Have been revitalizing perennial pots with new soil and annuals. .
I love heather and bulbs

lovely

Rita, gorgeous daffys!

Jewell, love your yard/garden!

Dianne, thanks! I think I'm going to put a few freesias in the ground this fall and see what happens! We don't have to dig dahlias/glads here so maybe it will work.

My first 2013 container of color!

Senetti Pericallis and sweet-scented violas.


Species tulip planted early winter of 2011 making its first appearance.


Crocus and early daffs - and just about every kind of weed imaginable!


Lots of other early spring bulbs blooming here and there, and the hellebore is opening as well. No new pix of it, yet...

Plant orders are trickling in, and seeds are sprouting like crazy! ...love spring, but I'm worn out by 8 PM!

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

to the pretty comment

Early tulip has a flower. Batch of them has been going downhill.

Some pictures from the past two days.

daffs-



Maria daffodils-

Pretty, Rita!

I put in some different heirloom daffs last fall...can't wait to see them! They just had a few inches of rain and I think they've grown about that height's worth since! Man, do they ever grow fast!

Must get out with the camera again in-between showers...

I love daffs and keep adding more each fall. By now I have a pretty decent collection.

And now for some crocus-



crocus Ruby Giant. I just love these.


crocus Twilight. Very dark glowing purple.

Here is my Nanking Cherry today just starting to bloom.


Forcythia


Weeds that I have each spring. They have little bublets and I am always pulling and digging these out. They bloom early spring and then dissapear until next year.


Here is a little garden area. Has shrubs in the back and now those daffs blooming. More daffs to open. In between the daffs are lilies which bloom in the summer. Then I just stick some annuals in the very front for all season color.


This is a garden section I call The Terraces. Raised beds one on top of another built into the hillside. Looks really stunning in the early summer but still needs work for early spring.

Itzim growing in a small garden off my patio. It mostly has roses in in so I wanted to add some spring color.


Some more daffs blooming today.

Here is a section of my front yard with these Belgium Block mini terreaces. I have daylilies at each end and daffodils in the middle.

My front yard wuth species tulip humilis violacea blooming in the very front.

This is a daylily bed here and has some lilies in between for late spring color. I wanted tulips in there for early color. I wanted early tulips and I did not want to replant each year so they had to be done once and stay forever. I decided on Greigii tulips. I bought four types, Goldwest, Large Copper, March of Time and Sundance. I put the four in each hole so that I had four of every one in each grouping. I was wanting a sea of color. It didn't quite end up like I planned. Sundance is blooming first and the other colors are barely showing buds. So I have a bed of one color in succesion instead of all colors at once.



sundance


And a low angle.

Of course I can't find Sundance to add it to my want list. It sure is pretty tho'.

I have never seen it anywhere else except where I bought it along with the three other kinds of Greigii Tulips I planted up there with it (that are not blooming yet).
