    Forsythia x intermedia,'Lynwood' is now in bloom and acts as a hedge between my house and next door.

    I stopped at a friends house today to take some pictures of his spring flowers but only managed a few Daffodil shots as it was raining very heavy with strong wind.

    So love seeing your Pulmonaria. Reminds me of spring, and maybe I need to do something to help mine along a bit.

    Hi Deanna,..thank you!,..it took a spell but better late than never.

    ======================================================

    Hi Jewell,..i would imagine your weather is similar to mine,..no lack of rain,..i know mine love to be watered and get droopy if let go dry,..they sure are a great survivor and look well even when not in bloom.

    Oh, daffs! :drool: And all those other lovelies too. Cut daffs are pretty, but nothing compared to daffs blooming outside.

    Nice, Philip. My lungwort always gets PM and is bad before I notice it. I don't seem to have any great spot for it. I did move it last Spring, maybe this year it will do better...IF we ever get Spring, of course.

    What beautiful blooms there Philip! It is so dreary and dormant here, this is getting me in the mood for things to come. I love Pulmonaria, and nothing says spring quite like Forsythia!
