New plant I won at a party

Category: Other plants,shrubs and trees | Posted: Sun Jun 11, 2006 5:41 am

I went to a Home and Garden party a couple of days ago and I won this flower thing and I had never seen one before. It's called Blue Eyes and I just put it in a spot where my tulips weren't growing. I took a couple of pictures to share. If anyone has this flower, please let me know how to care for it and how much to water it.

See how dry it is at our home. I had just watered this flower about a hour before I took this picture. We have been getting some rain the last week or two, so maybe it will help.

This is a tree in my backyard that my Mama loves!! Just ask her about it. She has been dying for me to put a picture on here and ask if any of ya'll knew the name of it.Mama thinks it's a crab apple tree.

In the book I have about trees it show a crab apple tree and the blooms are white. Maybe there are different kinds, I don't know!! But I do know that your tree is gorgeous Heather!! I really like the Blue Eyes!! I looked in my garden books and I couldn't find them. Sorry I'm no help, maybe someone will be along soon that can help you!!
