    My Ponytail Palm took a real beating over the winter. I didn't know if it would ever show signs of live again. But... if you look at the very very bottom of the base there's some new growth. It may take years to get back to where it was... but at least it's not dead!

    And then the Viola Labradorica has some flowers. Very cute little things! (Only about the size of a thumbnail.)

    And there's two almost ripe strawberries! Will never had enough out of that little pot to really make anything... but happy just to have them bear even a couple of berries.

    And last but certainly not least... the old rose bush I got from my Grandma's house is finally blooming. Nothing spectacular... yet... but thrilled to have something that has to be as old as me putting on flowers!

    Almost forgot to add the Iris! I dug these up from the family home last year. Can't wait until more open up.

    Lots of spring in your yard. I love the tiny blooms of the Sweet Violet, they are survivors too mine stayed green even under the snow last winter.

    Your grandmother's rose looks very healthy, keep doing whatever you are doing now cause it appears to like it. ;)

    Gosh! Strawberries. And roses too. :eek: You lucky so-and-so. I'm not just a little envious. I'm dark green with envy. :D So glad you're sharing your lovely colours with us. :D

    Very nice! I love the color of that Iris, so very eye catching.

    So glad your MawMaw's rose bush is doing so well. I love how you nurture all the plants from your family. So sweet.

    I'm as green as Droopy - strawberries and roses are a long way off here.

    I'm just proud of this rose busy finally producing... had to share the opened-all-the-way bloom. Just anxious to see it with LOTS more.
