This is a feast for the eyes for those of us still waiting for the daffodils to come up. The kale is so pretty--I've never seen one in flower like this.

Darla,

your flowers are so pretty, can't wait till I have more flowering... stop by to visit if you get a chance...I have been invited to play a game and thought you might want to play also

Gail said...

Fantastic blooms Darla! I noticed the ornamental kale I planted last fall is blooming...I love the yellow flowers against the purple plant! It will bring in the butterflies...well their seeds may already be on the kale! Gail

I have that exact same bromiliad and never knew what it was. It winters over under the house and is blooming right now. You have lots of color going on. I love it all-especially the society garlic.

It's a bit surreal to me to see Snowdrops & Salvia blooming at the same time. The Candytuft/Kale/Daffodil combo is really nice. Love the Dogwood.

Hi Darla, We're home!!! Had a great trip--but it was different this time due to the weather. You'll have to read my blog today!!!! Drove home in the pouring rain yesterday--so was THRILLED to get home.

I read your blogs for the week.. Looks like spring has sprung in North Florida--in addition to the pollen.

We found crocus in bloom when we got home AND a few of our daffodils. I love your yellow daffodils with the orange trumpet. Gorgeous!!!!

Enter me in the giveaway please. I'll post a note on that particular blog post. Thanks... The candles look incredible.

Hugs,
Betsy

It's been so pretty out this weekend. I hope you had the same weather so you could play out in the flowers.

Do you see me drooling and wishing for warm weather? I can see how pretty your garden is right now and happy for you. Has that pesky pollen gone away?

Great bloom day post and fabulous dementia test! What a hoot; I barely passed!

JGH said...

Hi Darla - thanks for visiting Nyack Backyard and giving me the heads up on the bloom day comments. I think I already commented here, but I thought why not come back? Your flowers are so outstanding! Sorry I didn't have any outdoor blooms for you this month, but my crocuses finally popped out yesterday so next GBBD will be more productive, I hope. Have a great week!
