Beautiful day here. JP is coming to play:) I am really have to fight the urge to start planting things in my garden:). There still is the chance of a freeze:(. But with all our talk last week about the fern, I'm ready to go:)

I have a few things growing now. Hyacinth, this is the third year for the ones on the left, I added the ones around the end of the rock just last fall. Hyacinth smell soooooo lovely, I had to have more. I just wish they lasted longer then they do. They are early spring and then that it. A lot like daffodils. I have daffodils, but they don't bloom, I don't know what I'm doing wrong on them.

Dianthus

Of course, I have iris coming up all over the place. I planted alot of new ones in the fall, different colors. I'm anxious to see what colors will make it. I planted some black ones. I've never seen a black flower.

The black ones are really rich... like a deep dark purple in the light.

My daffodils no longer bloom either... I think there's a particular time you're supposed to feed them.

I have been so tempted to get a black rose although I don't know if I'd like it once I got it. It's just that I've never seen one either and it seems like it would be cool.

I've got a lot of iris planted, they do well here and the ground squirrels and the rabbits leave them alone. The ground squirrels and/or moles got every one of the daffodils I planted before they ever bloomed. When we first moved into this house, I planted 500 daffodil bulbs and about 200 tulips. The ground squirrels had a feast.
