    Netty you have some wonderful blooms in your garden at the moment. I have the same Bleeding hearts as you and I love seeing them in flower. All my tulips are long gone but my iris are still only in bud. Your garden beds are so neat and tidy so how about coming to Scotland to tackle mine? :p

    Well done Netty! :D Your yard looks lovely, and your blooms are a delight to see.

    Our late tulips are done, the Iris and Camassia hasn't started yet but our hearts and lilac and yours are at the same stage. Isn't that funny?

    Your garden is lovely Netty, so neat, a good day's work. My tulips are long over also, I love the black parrot. What a pity they didn't all bloom.

    That's a good looking garden, Netty. I like your spring blooms and I'm sure you're feeling tired after all that work! Enjoy.

    Everything is just beautiful Netty. I envy neat and tidy gardeners.....sometimes. ;)
    Sometimes I wish I could 'do' neat and tidy in my gardens but wild and weird seems to be more me.
