    Thanks for creating and sharing a photo journal of your rainbow garden. Sounds like we are all getting that spring fever and you knew the antidote. I will have to look up more about your Ceanothus. I don't think I have ever seen anything so spectacular and blooming with such rich purple colors and early besides :).

    Thank you for your your nice words, CajunB. I needed to see my owen posting. hahaha. I am becomming a bit colour desperate here at the moment.

    Of course you are so right, DAISY--it's just that the vividness of flowers I find that I am missing like a schoolboy misses his first sweetheart over the weekend. hahaha.

    Hiyah BECKY-- thank you for your kind words and liking the colour combinatioin that I used last year. I hope that you will enjoy being here on GS, and I look forward to your coming posts and pics.

    Welcome home, GLENDA--I am glad that you found the posting a good one this time. I am getting itchy for some real gardening results now. I have seen new growth on a Clematis cutting on the bedroom windowsill this morning.

    Thank you, JEWELL-- I can't get enough of the antidote. hahaha. It snowed yet again last night, covering all the bare ground. I was getting to enjoy the gray and brown. :(
    I am really delighted that you enjoyed seeing the the Ceanothus. The one featyured is a smaller one. That bush comes chest high. I have another one that is much larger and the blooms are six times larger--the bush is more a tree than a bush. It is such a joy in the early spring, and sometimes the bushes actually have a second blooming later on in the season. I like that very much.

    I got up this a.m. and saw another grey dreary day... seriously grey. So I looked again at your post to let the flowers cheer me up. I especially like that trollius. Of course I would, orange is my favoriate color.

    The geranium I brought for Winter has two pink blooms. And one amaryllis is still blooming in its pot with another ready to bloom in the next few days. But it's just not the same as seeing the things blooming outside en masse and getting hands into the dirt, does it? I miss it too.
