    This Osteospermum was listed as an annual, but has surprised me by being perennial (at least this year).
    I've been keeping an eye out at the nurseries to add more.

    Same with this Verbena that has survived the winter without any protection.

    And even though this mini-Azalea has been trying to bloom for a couple of months, it's really showing off the last few days.

    The apple and peach trees have blossoms...

    And just because it's St. Patty's day (and I really don't have that many things blooming right now) I've included a clump of the "wild" shamrocks.

    What a delight it is to see your lovely flowers Cheryl. I love the Osteospermum (white flowers are a favorite of mine.) :-D

    Those Osteiospermum are so white, they almost look blue! Lovely flowers, especially for eyes that still look upon snow every day.

    We are enjoying spring even though it's in someone else's back yard. Lovely flowers Cheryl.

    Love looking at the color. The cherry trees are blooming on my way out of town. Fruit trees and others are a ways off. Those white flowers sure are photogenic. Keep giving us spring. I need every little dose I can get.

    Yes I like the azalea too,it was worth the wait.....those daises are always a nice neat patch of colour, if you are looking at the shops for them try looking for some of the variations...

    There is also a pale lemon/butter colour and best of all they strike by cuttings real easy.
