Seeing some life…

Still waiting for much of my garden to come alive – but we are seeing some life this week!  Most of what I am seeing is the beginning of green buds on both trees, shrubs and roses.  What seems like weeks of just green on bulbs coming out of the ground to finally begin showing ‘some’ color this week (FINALLY)!  I couldn’t be more excited to share what is showing it’s lovely self this week!

‘Anne Marie’ Hyacinth/’Grape’ hyacinth/new variety of hyacinth (just picked up)

Mathotiana Camilia “Rubra”010014

 

Candytuft “purity” – this is so pretty when planted in masses – I planted these just below my rose garden.

 

Delphinium Pacific Giant Black Knight (look at all the growth around this plant – peeking up out of the ground)! you can spy tulips, roses, poppies, bleeding hearts, groundcovers and johnny jump ups!

So pretty, you've got some great Spring bloomers. I love those poppies. My neighbor has orange poppies that bloom every year right after the tulips are gone, they are so nice, its like a sea of orange.
Wow, You are WAY ahead of us! Although I have been out working in my gardens! Oh My those eggs looked GOOD! I used to have chicken when my boys were growing up and I DO MISS those eggs!
Hugs to you,
Donna
Oh wow it all looks glorious...Even though spring has been here for awhile now, your garden is far prettier than mine...I can't wait to see it in all it's glory this year.

Thank you for hosting again this week.

Blessings Kelsie
Oh...I envy you!! I wish spring would really get here! All of your blooms are just beautiful, lucky girl!

XO,

Hi Tracie
Just seeing all the colour in your garden is putting me into spring fever mode. We're still at the green stage with the bulbs and the rest has not awakened yet.
Thanks for sharing your pretties.

Donna said…
Oh Tracie! Your flowers are so so lovely! Unlike me, you don't have blight on your camellias..but I'm getting it cleared up now. Sigh..

And the sweet eggs! We are working on getting the coop spruced up and repaired so foxes can't get my babies any more. Until we do that, and build a new yard in the pasture, we can't get more hens. Tex, our horse, broke down the fence to the chicken yard. Sigh.. It's always something out here.

Your photo of the eggs is priceless!

Love it!

Thanks for visiting me last week! I'm so sorry I got so behind in my blog reading again.
I just love your blog and your garden in beautiful. I'm envious. I work hard at my gardens each summer, but our growing season is so short and I fight the deer, rabbits and squirrels the whole time. But I don't quit or give up. I'm becoming much better at finding plants that deer won't eat for lunch or midnight snacks. There have been mornings where I would wake up to everything that had bloomed being completely bare and gone!
Anyway, your cottage and garden are beautiful.

How I wish I could smell your wonderful blossoms! We have just a few green sprouts poking through. When garage sale season starts I usually pick up some new flowers from the gardening ladies in the small towns near here. I miss the bleeding hearts.
