Hey, that looks very good. I see daffodils, tulips and daylilies. Always a great combination to my way of thinking.

That's really pretty! Everything is green and healthy.I love daffodils and tulips and I love rocks, I think they add a lot of interest.

I went to a public garden a week or so ago, and they had used some small, flattish rocks (similar to the ones on the right in your picture)as name tags for some of the hydrangea bushes. There was pine straw mulch, and then the rock i8n front of it with the name in black as if painted with a small paintbrush or wide paint marker. I liked the idea.

Your garden is very pretty and appealing.

Pat, your garden Is really nice. I really like the daffodils with the cute, flat faces (unless I'm seeing them wrong)What kind are they? And what are the branchy bushes?

Very pretty! Thanks for sharing :-)

Everything looks so healthy. Like the white narcissus and your birdbath. Please keep posting.

A winning combination! I love the idea of rocks in a garden - very natural and organic.

Your daylily foliage looks great. Love the splash of red tulips. Keep posting pics.

Your garden looks great, love the tulips.

A lovely spring garden!

This seems like as good a place as any to piggyback a photo thread. I have some photos from today and one bloom from a couple weeks ago. All of these daylilies were planted last fall.

Here are some scapes almost ready to bloom on DARK REFLECTION plants. These have been the best bloomers so far out of all the plants I got last fall. The leaves are whacked back a bit because I had a bit of rust earlier this spring. I think I have a handle on it now.

This was DARK REFLECTION in bloom a couple weeks ago. I read a hint on this forum (might have been Marric?) to stand back and zoom instead of holding the camera close to the flower. Worked nicely, and the color is more true (it's cream, but my earlier photos came out white). The sales photos look almost black on white, but I'm perfectly happy with deep red on cream, especially if it blooms early and often.

BECAUSE OF YOU, a Maryott bonus plant, is about to bloom too.

This is the clump of FIRE AGATE that I planted just last fall (another Maryott bonus). It's in the back yard because I wasn't sure if I'd like the double. No scapes yet, but I'd almost keep it just for the wonderful big foliage.

Next is a close up of some snapdragons.

And last is my favorite picture. This ladybug is protecting my tiny THIN MAN bud from aphids.

Nate, those are awesome *turns green* Wish I had nice plump buds waiting to open! I also like the red on cream color. and love the foliage on the one plant--it holds itself really well. Ladybug photo=excellent! Cant wait to see more pics!

Another person green with envy, just look at those buds! Dark Reflection is lovely, and looks like we should be seeing more pictures very soon. That is a great ladybug picture, very crisp.

Lots of green and flowers going on there in your Houston garden. Very nice.
