  1. Don't you just love the leucojum? Really one of my favorite spring bulbs. And that 'Mutabilis' rose is just striking. I must find some place to plant one in my garden. Your blooms are beautiful!

  2. I think that broccoli's a beauty, even if it's not what was supposed to happen!

  3. Ha! I thought that was broccoli. I needed to see this Caroline Spring is still a long way off for me.

  4. All beautiful photos, Caroline! Those blue anemones are foreign to me and I really like them: available at local nurseries? My broccoli's bolting, too, but I think the flowers are lovely.

  5. The bees think the bolting broccoli is swell, too!

    Iris, I just looked up those anemones (and updated the caption). They're 'Lord Lieutenant' anemones, a double or St. Brigid type, planted 11/18/2006. They naturalized well but haven't multiplied. They're the first bulb to bloom every spring. I believe I did get them at a local box store that fall, along with white "The Bride" anemones, a single or De Caen type, that did not naturalize.

  7. Caroline -- Your roses are so beautiful - I can't believe you have all those blooms. Mine aren't there yet. And they need a pruning desperately. Wanna volunteer? You clearly pruned yours and it shows!

  8. Diana, if it makes you feel any better, I have four rose bushes with zero blooms! The Old Blush and Mutabilis always race to be the first to bloom. DH hates it when I prune, he always thinks I prune too much. But I have to prune or they'd swallow the hot tub gazebo whole.
