Cheer for P

[Madame Buttonfly]

@Jett129 and @twin - great photos (Jett, sorry it took so long to thank you for posting the beach pictures).

The colour of that little blue flower is stunning!

@Madame Buttonfly  They grow in the wild around here. The name of this flower is a Round Lobed Hepatica. Got the right name from that trusty twin Bobby.

I'm almost embarrassed to post these, but @Madame Buttonfly  and G have some beautiful roses, probably due to climate, like Portland, OR., but at any rate, here in the south, this is the best these will look now until the fall, after the dead of heat hits. First a couple of Knock out roses that usually flourish with out much work.

Then a yellow rose which again does OK in spring and fall, and 2 tea roses a pink and A Queen Elizabeth Red that do fairly good, but are close to budding now.

And then there's this climbing white rose, that I only see when pulling into the garage, which for some odd reason does the best.

[Madame Buttonfly]

@ROman - your garden looks amazing, the roses are super and of course so much earlier than ours - GORGEOUS!

Spring is starting to arrive in Ontario, Canada.  Our magnolia is close to blossoming.

Spring time cheer for Paula aka @Madame Buttonfly

@goosehd - your magnolia must be in its prime right now, sadly ours are all well over - the difference in latitude I guess, but our wisteria is magnificent (I will try to remember to post photos!)

@twin - lovely pics, isn't this just a wonderful time of year?

[goosehd]

@Madame Buttonfly Our magnolia is in its prime, with other plants coming along nicely.  I’ll try to get some pictures of my favourites.

@goosehd lovely magnolia stellata and beautiful trillium, I hope the weather's nice and I'll take some shots our peonies and wisteria tomorrow

Yes @Madame Buttonfly  this is always the best time of the year for flower photos.

I have planted about 20 Lilly bulbs and only the yellow has survived, but every year at Easter, I buy a Lilly plant for fragrance, and then plant them. Here are 4 years worth.
