Warm spring day pix
« on: April 28, 2007, 03:16:29 PM »
With temps going into the 90's today,  I got out the camera


The sarracenia's in front...those are impatients in the floating planter...plus a few lily blooms




The snaps and irises are doing well






The dry creek was overrun by poppies last year...this year it's feather grass

Very pretty!  I almost bought some snap dragons at Lowes the other day but they were so tall I was afriad on my bank the wind would blow them over.  Do you have to stake yours?

 Tinkster...the snaps dont need staking...a lot of people plant them in clumps for really impressive color displays...out here they can be planted in winter for early spring color.

Argos5, your Feather grass looks a lot like mine. Here they call it something else... can't remember!  :-\
But it's an annual here, and all the birds are making nests with last year's remains.  O0 I love the stuff, even if it is an annual.
Your pics are beautiful!

It all looks real nice! Your spring  looks more like my summer ;D But things are comming along pretty well now, and if we can get past the morning frosts things will really take off.

Beautiful, how nice it must be to live in a climate where you have that much so early.  Things here are just coming up, not much blooming but tulips.

Nice pics. Your lilies are looking great.
How has your bougainvillea behaved?

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

Hi Mike:
One bougainvillea came back with some new leaves at the base...the other has shown no sign of life yet...I went to HD over the weekend but their bougainvillea didn't look too great...I may try another nursery next weekend, although I've been managing my daughter's fast pitch softball team this spring and playoffs start this weekend...this was the first time I managed a youth softball/baseball team and I have a new admiration for those who do it regularly.
