As I was walking around the yard, I thought I'd share a couple of blooms that I've spotted already. I was really surprised to see these Blue Pincushion flowers already (Scabiosa). I really didn't think they would bloom until at least April. I don't even think they died back this winter, since it was so mild. I'm happy they are up already & looking so good! Hope the rest of my perennials have survived as well.
A winter bloomer, this is Hellebore Lenton Rose (one of my favorites!). I've always want to grow these & finally have 3 little plants that even gave me some blooms this first year. I took my parents to the B'ham Botanical Gardens while they were here & these Lenton Rose were in full bloom, large & beautiful in the gardens. It made me really want to get more of these going for winter color. They have the softest pink & lime green flowers...just gorgeous!
A Welcome Rock in my garden urn...found this little rock last year at a yardsale for 25 cents and it greets our visitors.
Couple of iron birds I picked up at Tuesday AM this week, I haven't decided where to put them yet or if I should paint them antique white, but I just loved them. They were only $4.99 each, so a bargain too.
ANY ONE ELSE BESIDES ME READY FOR SPRING!!! I'm ready for warm dirt, blooming flowers, real bunnies in the backyard & lazy days!
