Finally some color!

Category: Spring 2013 | Posted: Sun Apr 07, 2013 10:00 pm

I have been so patient. Usually by this time of year, spring is in full swing, but not 2013. It has been chilly and we are still waiting for the Tulips, Forsythia, Lilacs and all the sweet smelling tree blossoms. They're coming! I can feel it in the air.
I have been raking out the winter pine needle mulches off my flower beds and discovering my old friends in the ground. Daylilies, Columbine, Heucheras (all 40 of them :)! ) Geraniums, Rudbeckia, Coneflowers, Salvia..... OK You get the picture!
The grass is turnin green finally! Geesh!
Wish we could get some much needed rain now! Doin a rain dance out there!
Winter is officially done and better be gone for good!

Wow Kay!! That IS some nice colour. You have been waiting for so long, haven't you.
While crocuses are small, they really do add some bright spots in the garden. I have some nice-looking ones at the moment and I am quite thankful for them, as there is precious little else in bloom........but there is more on the way.

I do appreciate seeing your lovely foto's and hope that you will soon have more to show soon.

Good hearing from you again.

Lovely. That heuchera has lovely leaf color. Sorry for your late spring, but you are just extending mine. Lol. I love it. Keep posting updates :)

Snap Kay - spring has, eventually, found us here in Scotland too. I love to see my daffodile and crocus's flowering and can imagine the smile on your face when yours bloomed for you.
