Beautiful pics Tracy!

But why is that little guy so sad and blue?

Just a guess, but are those flowers on the right a phlox? They are early bloomers. I'm glad to see that spring has finally sprung there. I thought spring was here too but it has turned chilly, brrr.

What all is blooming in your area now? Here, the tulips, grape hyacinths, tulip magnolia, fruit trees, red buds, , mahonias, wisteria and jonquils have faded, but the azaleas, lamiastrum, dogwoods, periwinkles, hyacinths, anemones and green and golds are in full bloom. At least that is what I can recall that I have seen blooming around here.

I'd like to see even more spring pictures ! Yay spring !!!

I love creeping phlox and have tried several times to get some to grow in my yard but it is too shady.
I do have a minuscule patch of garden phlox. It has managed to find a spot where it gets a few rays of sunshine, lol. I once had a tall garden phlox variety but alas it died to neglect. Unfortunately my garden has that problem with me. My plants have to be extremely self-sustaining.

Tracy,

I had one that looked like a Toucan. It never worked right and finally broke the other day. But my brother had a Tiki one that worked for a long time.

Clara,

Thanks for the heads up about the toxicity.

im sorry to hear that mch
here are some sweet william plants ive put in today that were givin to me from the guy next door he has been growing them from seed .i love these plants dont know when they will be out in flower thou

[MCH]

I think that sweet Williams are biennials. They should grow this year and bloom next spring. If they are the sweet William plants that I know. Maybe they will reseed themselves and continue to grow in that spot as well. I like that nice black soil you have there. Mine is orange, clayey and full of rocks, lol.
