FF and GBBD

Not only is it time for FF over at Tootsie's it's also time for GBBD over at Carol's .  A big thank you to these ladies for faithfully hosting these parties.  Just one click and you are transported to another garden!

First of the Asiatic Lilies to bloom

Snapdragons

Modge podge of containers.

This container of Petunias was rescued by my husband in November of 2010.  It's in full sun right now, about June I'll hang it on one of the branches of the Crape Myrtle Tree for shade.  It's still  in the container it was purchased in, should I repot  it????????????? 

One of my favorite Verbenas, aka Miss Prissy.

First Clematis bloom of the season.

First Larkspur bloom of the season of course it volunteered right by the driveway.

Yesterday our thermometer read 94 degrees that's 34.4 celsius.  The official reading at the airport was 88 degrees.  We are way above normal for this time of the year.  I hope this is NOT an indication of what the summer will be like!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Wordless Wednesday

Fertilizer Friday and Flaunt

It's time for Tootsie's weekly party.

Loropetulams aka Fringe Flower are starting to bloom.

Weeping Youpon is starting to bloom.

I wanted to move this Clematis that grows up the Pink Dogwood Tree before it started setting buds.  I might still try to move it, what do you think?

My Amaryllis are starting to set bud!

Some of the Ranunculas from last year have returned.  I adore them!  They look like double Anemone.

I do not know what to make of this weather.  We are seriously back and forth with the windows open, the heater on and then the air conditioner on some days.  I'm not sure if the rest of you have a spring indicator in your gardens or not.  I do.  For as long as I can remember, once my Crape Myrtles start leafing out that means no more freezes for the season.  The are leafing out, so we shall see if it holds true this year.

Some of the summer bulbs that my husband has been ordering are starting to come in.  I have 200 hundred waiting to be planted right now.  They include:

Liatris spicata purple

Anemone coronaria 'De Caen'

Gladioli nanus mix

Allium moly luteum golden

Sparaxis tricolor mix

Here's hoping for great weekend weather for gardening!!

Fertilizer Friday

 A container of Alstromeria in the greenhouse waiting to find a home in the garden.

 Rex Begonia blooming in the greenhouse.

 The tall Dianthus is beginning to put on a show.

 Here are a couple more Daffs.  I really don't know how many different ones I have.  One thing is for sure, I love them all!

This is Where It All Started...!

This is my original blog. After I thought my photo limit had been reached and didn't know how to purchase more space I started another blog, http://morefamilyandflowers-darla.blogspot.com/ ... after issues with a family member I left that blog and started http://hundredsofideas.wordpress.com/ and have been struggling with blogging from there. I hate wordpress! Just didn't feel like home. It's a wonderful blogging site if you are into that style, for me, this feels more like home.
I am excited to get back to blogging on a regular basis....
