"The crocus and dwarf Iris in my front yard popped out today!"

I'll bet they are beautiful, Conor!


Red Canna Lilly

I had a neighbor go to Wal-Mart last week
and buy up all the Canna Lilly bulbs she could find.

They usually sell out immediately, and must be planted in March for a lovley summer display!

She bought them out, (kidding)
and also bought Miracle grow soil and planting soil,
And, called the local gardner, making an appointment to plant them today.

I checked the weather for the month of March, and in my neck of the woods,
It will be dropping down to the low 20's almost every night this month
So, I had to have her postpone the planting.

BUMMER!
(I wanted the miracle of their beauty to be the first thing I saw, when I return home!)

Hi, Yorkie! It's been a number of years since I've grown Canna - I'll have do plant some again. I got a bonus when I walked out the front door this afternoon - my fist daffodil had bloomed!

Here are some from last year:



Daffodils "Thalia" - My Front Garden - 17APR2011



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Did you have some one time, yorkie, and some critter dug them up? That red graphic you posted is so pretty!

Beautiful, Yorkie.

I hope the weather warms so the Cannas can be planted soon.

This one would be perfect for today (Red Friday).
