Some spring garden pics

Thought I would post some news pics the garden. Im trying the dark mulch this year rather than the orange colored one. :thumbs up

and some more

You will have to excuse the tacky looking rope and fencing but it keeps Winston out of the garden to a certain extent! :thumbs up hes so darn big he crushes the flowers~!

Wow, you have quite a bit blooming already! :cloud9: So far, I have 3 small clumps of jonquils and a little patch of pansies that over-wintered under the oak leaves. :o

What's the red flower in the fence garden? Almost looks like a columbine, but I've never seen one that color.

Winston is looking mighty fine, I must say! :D

Winston, is the 3rd picture Heather? I planted some last year and this year it's brown and dry and I don't know if it will come back to life...:sad:

Yes it is...its one of my new plants this year. So far it looks good. I dont know much about it but it looks nice in the garden.

I can look up what it says on the tag to see if it needs any special attention or planting details if you like?

Cindy

I will post some more pics tonight! My yellow Tree Peony is blooming this morning OMG it looks beautiful!

That would be great! I got mine as a gift, so I didn't have any info about it. It does look nice...until it's brown and crispy, lol! Mine is a bit of an eyesore right now.

Would love to see more pics when you have them! :thumbs up

I'll post them tonight after work! and send you the info on the tag!

I see you have some Pasque flowers Winston, I have white ones and I had been looking for the dark red for a couple of years, finally last Thursday I managed to find one :cloud9:

Very pretty flowers, and doggy :)
I like the dark mulch, I think it makes the plants stand out more, not a big fan of the orangey stuff

Chris which one is that? never heard of that name?

Chris which one is that? never heard of that name?

It is the first pic in your second set, the purple one :D....or do you call it something else?

:thumbs up Poppies!

Looks like you have some nice Lilies poking their noses up behind the Columbine in the pot. What color are the Lilies?

Well I see some Aztec Lillies popping out in the second picture :thumbs up Love Aztec's :cloud9:

I used black mulch last year and it looks so nice in the garden. From a distance, the gardens look like their freshly watered. :lightbulb:

Winston looks so handsome and innocent in the last picture :D It's like he's saying, "What ME ruin the flowers--NOT!" :D:laughing::laughing:

Winston is an absolute angel :lovestruck:. I couldn't dare plant flowers in the backyard :rolleyes:.

:thumbs up Poppies!

No Poppies, their name is Pulsatilla Vulgaris from the anenome family

What the heck is an Aztec lily? I thought perhaps those poking up were what's called LA Hybrid or Longiforum x Asiatic Lily.:shrug:

CearaQC your right they are Asiatic Lily. I just cant remember the colour? I will have to go back to picks from last year! :thumbs up
