    Mostly there are blues, but also some reds, whites, and greens. I walked around my yard and nearby woods and took pics of everything that is blooming right now. This is what I found.

    This is a picture of a big patch of Bugle Weed in my backyard.

    Then I found this hiding amongst them.

    Great pictures! As spring works its way north it's nice to see different varieties, we have the blue Bugleweed but not white, plain but not variegated Periwinkle. Lots of variety FF, thank you.

    What a lovely variety of blooms. But I must say... that Easter Cactus is EXTRAordinary.
    Plus the red & blue Anemone just made me smile. Looks like a silly cartoon character.
    Great selection there FF!

    Great shots! I'm still waiting for the first blooms here ... it may still be a few weeks.
