    Some real beauties there Netty. :-D I love seeing patches of phlox in a garden as I just think they're so pretty. I have a white and red bleeding hearts flowering just now but all my tulips have gone over and my iris's aren't ready to flower yet. Thanks for letting us share your lovely flowers. :stew2:

    Wonder what that those beautiful pink blooms are in the trees?

    The pink blooming trees are some very old flowering crab apple trees I think. The Apple trees will be starting to bloom soon too :D

    WOW and double WOW.....very pretty blooms..I love those trees.

    About that basket of gold...I have a question. Do they have a rounded flower on them? Not a flat one but have a puffiness to them...? This is hard to explain what I am asking..Grouped together blooms and puffy like blooms?? I hope you can understand what I am asking..Not a flat flower..

    All so pretty Netty! Doesn't it just make you smile when you walk outside? The euphorbia is very interesting. I am not familiar with that one, though I know the name.

    Your flowers are gorgeous. I like those flox. when cleaning out the old garden to make room for the new greenhouse I accidently threw mine out so I went out this year & bought more . I like that color shade of pink in your tulip. Very pretty blooms, thanks for sharing these.

    Sherry, I'm not sure I understand your question, but I wouldn't describe the blooms as flat.
    daisybeans, that is Cushion Spurge Euphorbia epithymoides (Cushion Spurge)
    It is quickly becoming one of my favorite spring bloomers. The color is very bright and lasts a very long time.
    Petunia, I think that Tulip is "Angelique". The color on this one fades with time.
