There are bunches of perennials green and growing in my yard but nothing is blooming yet except the Daffs. These are store bought blooms but at least there is color in my yard. Daffs ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) I love the color combination of these. Marigold ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) The Fig tree out back will be covered with new leaves in a couple of days. If you look at the branch in the back ground you can see figs actually forming...real early for those tho. New Fig Leaves ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden ) I planted several of these in front of the white shrub roses. When the roses are in bloom the red and white should be really nice looking.

Thanks Netty and Droopy, glad you enjoyed the color in my yard. We went to a really nice, rustic Bed and Breakfast in south Texas for our 20th anniversary back in 2000 and outside the cabin were we stayed was a huge beautiful Fig tree. In memory of a wonderful time I went in search of a Fig tree of our own, took about 3 years to find one and then I thought I had killed it a month after planting it. It is now huge and always filled with Figs in late summer. The thing is, we don't really care for Figs but the birds do. That tree is alive with sound and motion for several days from all the birds in there eating to their hearts content. This year I am hoping to get a video of the worlds largest birdfeeder this fall, it really looks like the tree is alive.
COR... Would you look at those flowers! I just sat here blinking as I looked at those colours. All's well there, I see.
Ooh that coffee pot Marigold is just so cute. ANd the colour of that Salvia is gorgeous. A real treat to behold. The fig tree is looking healthy. I hope that is will bear many fruits. My one did not do very well this year. I have a bug that keeps on munching and gnawing at mine. And with me the only one taking preventative measures it is like a lost battle since no one else in the neigbourhood is doing anything to keep them beetles and bugs from their trees. (Even though one of them already lost a lemon tree to bugs.)
I really like the bright red of your salvia Toni and would have a whole swathe of them in my garden if I had any space left to plant them. I've just planted dwarf marigolds in my hanging baskets outside the front door so I hope they come up as colourful as yours.
