    Lovely flowers...any time I see "graphics heavy" I come running to see the post! :D

    What is the purple flower in the 10th photo (with the bird bath)?

    Another nice thing about GS is that you can have spring so many times as the season moves north. Lovely pictures. I guess Pianolady and I are interested in the same flower. What is he purple flower around the birdbath?

    Those are just gorgeous, Netty. You are loaded with colour...you have such nice blooms there in your garden.
    "Graphics heavy"--I fell for that too. I just knew you'd have lots of real lookers.
    Superb posting.

    They are all beautiful but I especially like the pink tulip with the water drops on it - great picture.

    Thanks all! Spring sure took it's time getting here this year, but things are finally starting to bloom.
    The blue bloom in the photo with the birdbath is Camassia leichtlinii. This clump started as just one bulb and has filled out in just a few years. More info here Camassia leichtlinii (Great Camas, Large Camas)

    Very very pretty Netty. Besides liking them all, I'm curious about #6, the one that is green and yellow-green. I always look forward to seeing your blooms....

    thanks Netty for answering my question before I asked it. Those are all fantastic photos and that Camas bulb is something on my wish list!

    Oh yes!!! Spurge. That's what it is. I have some in my garden from last year and didn't remember the name. It is so pretty, isn't it?

    I hope you'll post some photos of your whole garden beds too. I remember how pretty they are, Netty.

    Wow. Lovely. Most of these are long gone in our gardens.
    The camassia clump is gorgeous. Mine don't multiply like that...
    All are pretty!
