    Just some photos of what's blooming around the house today.
    First... Mom's "regular old" Daylilies.

    I do believe the purple Oxalis needs a bigger pot... again!

    And these Shamrocks with super-cute little pink flowers are growing all over the place.

    No Jerry. These Daylilies have been growing around the front of the house for decades.
    But a bright note... I did finally see some signs of life from the new daylily bulbs I planted. There's hope yet!

    Such a nice array of blooming plants you have there. I am particularly fond of Oleanders.
    That Loozyanna Black Iris is absolutely stunning!
    You are on a roll with those bloomers!

    Yes Chubby... it's the same. They sure are beauties, aren't they!

    Thanks Sjoerd... it was fun going around getting photos of the various blooms that are popping up.

    Also... I edited the name of that one flower, I mistakenly put "Sweet William" instead of it's real name "Sweet Violet". Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

    Great shots Cherylad! It's amazing how some of the same plants here(Lily's, Spiderwort and Violets)are just barely peeking out of the soil. 2 days ago we had snow falling!
