Patricia Snider Memorial is a beauty. I don't know how you keep it alive that far north. I lost mine after a particulary bad winter a few years ago. I replaced it last year, but it didn't make it through last winter. I love your other spring flowers!

Debra

Good to see you both here

Patricia Snider Memorial is awesome. Mine bloomed more this year than it has in the last three yers, don't know why. You bed is so colorful and pretty. I love Baptista. All the flowers together look so pretty.

Good to see you posting! Your garden is way ahead of mine. My peonies are just fat buds at this point, my salvia, catmint and baptisia are about a week or more away from proper blooming and NO daylilies yet. I don't even see scapes. But at least my iris are blooming! Your yard always looks ravishing. We're still waiting for rain here. It was a very dry May. My daylilies from you are all looking marvelous.

Beautiful garden shot! Great picture of Patricia Snider Memorial. Thanks for sharing your peony pictures!

I'm with Celeste on all counts except for the very dry part - we had a good rain last night which I swear made things grow about an inch overnight. No scapes yet except on some of the newly acquired dls that came this spring. It's gonna tear me up to cut them off, but I just have to see them bloom once first before I do.

I have Tiffany Art Glass that arrived a week ago, putting up a nice scape. I will cut it off after seeing the flower.

Thanks for looking, liking and commenting! :) Debra, I got Patricia Snider Memorial from Bonnie at Oak Hill, I think about 2.5 years ago... I don't do anything special to keep it alive, but I would not say that it is really thriving here. It does okay.

Patricia Snider Memorial the peony are both beautiful. I have thought about purchasing it and it's nice to know that it is one the tender side.

You all are a lot nicer to your plants than we are. Unless a new plant looks like it is deep distress, we just let it bloom and if it looks good enough, we might even put a pod or two on it. I probably won't try that this year, though, because most of the shipments were later than usual because of the cold spring and the heat is now on (too early, I might add).

I love the look of Patricia, but hear either that there are not a lot of buds, not that hardy, and slow to increase. I don't really mind one that does not increase too fast, less work dividing, but the other problems make me hesitate. A beautiful garden shot! My Bartzella was full of blooms this year, but it was gone in no time.

Nice to see you back , Laura! Love the garden shot!
