First flowers..

Other than my tulips,the Magnolia,Forsythia and a whie flowering bush,these are the first flowers blooming in my perennial garden...the Lilac bush is just opening too:thumbs up

and the Bleeding heart...

Oh Chico! The Bleeding Hearts are beautiful. My cousin just thinned her Bleeding Hearts and gave me 3 plants which I put in a basket shaped planter. They seem to be doing well. Now I can't wait for them to bloom. I've never had them before.

At first I thought the first picture was Clematis. Beautiful!

Here is a pix of my Clematis.

Glasslass,your Clematis is beautiful,I have 3 in different colours growing on my fence,but mine are of course not blooming yet..soon though.
Here's a pic of one,my largest from last year..

I have Clematis too. It doesn't seem to be doing anything right now.

AliSam,The Clematis needs to be cut down to about 1-2 feet early spring,but you probably already know that..yours should be showing new leafs and buds by now,depending on where you live.

Thanks Chico, I will keep an eye on them over the next couple of days. There very well maybe some buds on them.
