We're getting more and more blooms as the lovely weather just continues. Here's a selection: Epimedium, red and yellow: Omphalodes verna and variegata. I didn't plant the verna. I moved the variegated one and the verna popped up in it's old place: Anemone nemorosa "Vestal" and "Robinsoniana": Trillium camchaticum: T. grandiflorum has just started too: That funny Primula with dark leaves and red stem: The "Texas" daffodil, it makes me think of all the Texan stewbies: These tulips were planted in 1997 and are still blooming every year: This Primula auricula is the strangest we've got. Weird colour but big blooms:
Thanks eileen. It is beginning to shape up nicely out there. The Martagon lilies have buds already, can you imagine?
My lilies are doing well too Droopy but haven't reached the stage of budding up yet. I'd love to see yours when they bloom.
A beautiful selection of special Primulas this time, droopy. The rest are also so lovely and 'springy'. What about that Texas Daff!! Te Epimediums are also looking good, as are the tulips. You have such an interesting group of flowering plants there in your garden. I'm delighted that you posted these.
Great pictures, I love the primulas. My friend and I hit our area garden centers today and came home with a truck load of plants. Still too early to put them outside, but I did pot up some containers and have them inside my potting shed til it warms up a bit more.
Thank you, I'm still amazed at how much is going and it's still so early. Kaseylib, well done! I'd love to see them when you have the time.
Beautiful flowers! I like that last pic,, but then I like odd things. I sure hope the good weather is there to stay so all those beautiful flowers can keep blooming! must be wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. I like odd things too, Biita. I'm glad my husband has different taste, or else this would be an "Addams Family" garden.
Everything is so pretty. I love the Omphalodes and the 'funny' Primula. Are those all low growing plants or do they get some height on them?
Thank you. They're all small, Toni. The tallest is the "Texas", about 30 cm/12 inches, and the tulips of course. The taller plants haven't manage to start yet. It's too cold for them still.
I thought they would be, being Alpine flowers but couldn't tell for sure. I have done some searching for the Texas Daff and can't find any mention of it. Do you remember where you got your's? I can grow Daffs here and I guess a Texas garden should have a Texas Daff.
I certainly remember. My darling husband found it in a ditch that was going to be bulldozed, so he dug them up and brought them home. Gotta love the chap. They're granny garden flowers, an old type of daffies, and I've seen them in old gardens. I found it in Daves Garden and at the Pacific Bulb Society.
