Show And Tell # 7

Show and Tell

It's Show and Tell Friday again. Please go to Kelli's blog, There Is No Place Like Home, to see all the other participants or to join in the fun yourself.

This just happens to be my 500th post! That's amazing. I can't believe it. It doesn't feel like I've done this 500 times.

This week I'm going to show my spring flowers. Let's take a look at what's blooming in my gardens.

First, my Hyacinths. These were given to me in a pot for Easter a couple of years ago. There were three when I planted them, now there are four. They smell heavenly.



Next is my Forsythia. It's looking a little scraggly, it needs to be pruned. It was here and already overgrown when we moved here. I just noticed yesterday that it was blooming.



I believe these are Jonquils. I bought them a couple of years ago and don't quite remember. I have several clumps of them around the yard.



This little thing I only bought last year. I remember buying it, I remember planting it, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. It's pretty whatever it is.



Of course there's daffodils. I've had these for a few years. I didn't buy enough of them, so there's only one here and there. They would look much better in clumps.



These daffodils were a surprise. I had moved them when we redid our front deck. I didn't know what they were. Every year they came up but didn't bloom. It took them four years to finally bloom and show me what they are.



That's about all that is in bloom. Of course the tulips have buds and it won't be long before they are blooming. We've been having lovely weather and everything is coming up and sprouting. There are always surprises in the garden. I love spring. A couple of weeks ago when we were still buried under snow, I thought it would never come. Hope you enjoyed my show and tell. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
