Snowballs and Azaleas



Dutch iris

    Beautiful! It’s so green and springy there. Wish it looked like that here. Snowing again now, lightly, but yuck. Those glads are so pretty. I’ve heard there are some hardy glads. Maybe I need to find them! Thanks for sharing.

    Love the clematis color!! I am going to really look at getting some pink and red clematis soon. I only have purple and white (no names of course-had them for more years than I can remember)-but love the pinks and reds I have seen. Also love the combo colors on the azalea and snowball. My snowball bushes are covered in green balls now ready to change! Of course, we are on target for damaging winds tomorrow night so many of those balls will be on the ground after that. An annual event I think-but there are so many on there, it will still produce a glorious sight! Fernstone truly is scaping up! But of course my favorite picture is that of your cat blooms!

    Thank you, for looking and commenting. Sam, we very rarely have snow here and when any is forecast, the bread and milk "magically" disappear from the shelves; I suppose they make milk sandwiches. It gets very hot very early here. We have to enjoy our very brief springs because they are so short and summer is so long. Here, as a result of the temps, all glads are hardy. I have some that have been planted for fifteen years and still come up faithfully. But we can't grow a lot of beauties.


    Kate, the snowballs are much more white and open on the other side, but I wanted to get a bit od the azaleas in the photo too. I hope the winds are over-forecast and your bushes are unharmed.


    Heather, I love the look of Monshod buy am afraid to try it because of how poisonous it is. Purple is always a favorite of mine. (Of course, I have foxgloves and they are not a bit harmless) . I am still weeding as much as I can but a good part of the back is still untouched. Even worse, I have to continue weeding where I already have done the weeding; I have some unused mulch but not nearly enough to do most of the beds....I should be able to finsh the rest of the front with a bit left if I am lucky.

    Kay - Your Spring blooms are lovely! I esecially like the snowball bush and the azaleas. Here we've had daffodils, mini irises bloom, and the bleeding hearts and azaleas started opening yesterday.
