A bloom! + OT around the yard

14 years ago

The first bloom is so exciting!

Marseilles Watercolor All my Stamiles are planted in the same area, and they all sent up scapes way earlier than any of the others. Maybe they think they are back in Florida (or was is Mississippi?) And, by the way it is the Stamiles that are aborting buds.

The gaura has been blooming and blooming.Don't remember the variety, it is a compact type. Now I notice all the daff and hyacinth foliage.

Guara Whirling Butterflies- the open airy one

Burgundy Hearts Redbud, planted spring 2011 when I redid the front hard. I love it.

Marseilles Watercolor is gorgeous! My Stamiles think they're back in Florida too. They just don't have the bud counts they had there. LOL Your shade garden is just marvelous. I really get a sense of peace just looking at the photo. Everything else looks so neat and weed free. Most of my gardens look like jungles this year. Even the ones I got weeded back in April have various grasses, violets and other undesirables starting back.

I want to try growing a redbud here once we have a shed up and I can provide some shelter for it. Yours is gorgeous! I love your shade garden. What is the blue host to the right of the Variegated Soloman's Seal? Marg

The Garden is lovely. Marseilles Watercolor is a beauty. It was my first bloom way back in mid April. I love it and the photo is lovely.

Debra, my gardens are weed-free because I am unemployed. I think if I had a choice between no weeds and employments, I would choose the job!

Marric, Burgundy Hearts seems to be a superb variety of redbud. After struggling a little last year while it was settling in, it now seems to be thriving. The hosta is Love Pat. The Solomon's Seal is somewhat of a garden thug here and is crowding Love Pat and its neighbor on the other side, Regal Splendor.

Thank you Linda and Kay. I looked up Marseilles Watercolor, and saw that it is an extra early, which I didn't remember.

I love the backyard shade jungle. So pretty and so peaceful looking. Love the potted garden also and of course that daylily is very pretty.
