Stella & Friends
Stella D'Oro Daylily
These are always the first to bloom &
they make me wish for the other Daylilies to come!
Ranunculus
Here's one approximately 40 days after planting.
I am pleased with the progess so far & can't wait to see these bloom!
Double Begonia
This lovely lady came from a little greenhouse in a 'burb nearby that I visited on Saturday.
The deep green foliage & bright blooms are a welcome addition to the back porch.
A pair of red Dahlias came home to flank each side of the deck steps.
As well as a pair of Impatiens for the front porch steps.
Here's a view of the front left flowerbed.
Ranunculus in front, Green Mound Juniper in the center & seven Tuscan Blue Rosemary as the beginning of a hedge in back.
I'll have to get more to fill in the gaps to make for a quicker hedgerow.
I received my seeds from Seed Savers Exchange & here's a sneak peek!
Of course, I will be busy with planting in the next few days
& I will keep everyone posted on their progress!

ooh i want to plant Ranunculus and Dahlias!! Maybe I'll do that along the fence.
Did you grow them from bulbs?
stupid question -- (I'm new to gardening).. If you plant bulbs, and then put mulch, do you leave a space open for the plant to come through?? I left a donut shape in the mulch for where the Peony is supposed to be but I don't know if that made sense.
What a blissful post!
There are dozens of new shoots coming up where I had some Zinnias last year. It would be odd for them to come back after the cold Winter, but not unheard of. We shall see!
Bountiful Blessings~ :sunny:
I'm jealous. I want beautiful plants/flowers around me. ::sigh::
Beautiful,both the flowers and the photos, happy planting!
Looks good! Most of my gardening is done although I wouldnt mind a few more flowers around the house.
