    Simply beautiful Netty. And your hummer has returned.
    What is growing on the trellis the feeder is hanging in front of?

    Netty your garden is so neat and tidy whereas mine's a bit of a jungle!!! Your forget-me-nots look so lovely en masse like that. So glad your hummingbirds have arrived and you managed to get a piccie for us. Jack-in-the-pulpits are fantastic plants aren't they? :stew1:

    One of the things I love about Gardenstew is seeing all of the plants people grow that I don't. They are just beautiful. Thanks! dooley

    Toni-climbing the trellis is 2 Clematis vines. A "President" and "Duchess of Edinburg", both of which I thought I had lost this winter. They are both growing back quite nicely now and I hope to get some blooms soon :)

    Netty, everything looks great and your garden is so neat. Mine is always full of weeds, I just can't keep up with them. I love the Kerria, I've got one on my schedule for the new garden space next spring. Thanks for sharing.
