Clematis bud on the Goat Pen Garden.

Virginia Spring Beauty

raspberry bushes

This one is a mystery to me.  Guess I will just need to wait and see.

Star Magnolia with Pappy's wonderful windchime.

I call it my snowflake tree.

I always know that the weather will be warmer and after they bloom it will turn cold and everything will turn brown and then green.

the dreaded fig buttercup.  But they're so pretty!

Sarah Beth's peony

My dad's magnolia.

The best part of this is that the yahoos get to keep the leaves.  And they have big plans for them.

They worked until they got sweaty...which wasn't too long.

We are all excited about the Bloomers Garden.  But first, we must remove all the weeds from the once-vegetable beads that Murph made.

Connor's treasures and my flowers.  Great looking combination.

Lenten Rose

Peep's dinner bell Clematis

Little Netted Iris that came up by the lamppost.

Narcissus Daffodil


strawberries

A Lady's glove or a Foxglove.  Have no idea which one it is because it has just volunteered to come up at the end of the path.

Lenten Rose

almost blooming

I see one and one more peeking out.

A little snow that didn't stick around very long.

Snowdrops are always the first plants to bloom in our yard.  I know spring is coming when I see them.

A few weeks ago when I went to the mailbox I noticed a little yellow on the forsythia bush.  This was mid-December.


Just a cutting from a plant I found at Home Depot in Jan.  I never dreamed it would bloom.
