It's Fertilizer Friday so be sure to go over and visit our hostess Tootsie after you leave here and see what's blooming in everyone's gardens! And while you’re there why not join in on the fun.
I got a surprise in the mail -
Sweet Bay sent me 3 Yarrow plants. She had them all potted up so nice they’re ready to plant. They didn’t seem to be phased by travel in the least! I can’t wait to see them bloom next year!
A close up of this beautiful heart - don't ya just love it? Hope it blooms as long as they say!.
The other day I was reading Catherine’s post over at
A Garden In Progress and she said she hadn’t been to a nursery for a while and wanted to go. Then she came back and showed all of her new flowers. This made me think that’s what I wanted to do. Life has been so stressful around here lately with running back and forth to the hospital and then over to my parents house after they brought Dad home that I haven’t done anything fun for myself. So I promptly left her post and headed for a nursery too! Since not much new is blooming in my gardens I’ll show you what I bought that day – and it’s all Catherine’s fault that I got these beautiful new flowers but it’s also her fault that now I have a truckload of work to do planting them! ;-) The Mums I bought last week are still waiting to be planted to so I’d best get busy.
A new Dicentra Bleeding Heart, Burning Hearts is suppose to bloom from March to September.!
And then I found these Lilies that weren't named - just Hybrid Lilies. They were definitely screaming my name with their beautiful wine color - they're actually a bit darker than shown.
A new Chocolate Creeping Jenny. Is this gorgeous? And it's evergreen! My other Creeping Ginny is fairly young so I don't remember if they are normally evergreen or not.
I fell in love with the dark foliage on this Euphorbia Blackbird. Next I want the other Euphorbia with the light green foliage and huge stalk. Can't remember the name of it.
Matrix Sunrise
Catherine's Littlest Gardener had a beautiful Winter Pansy and I decided I wanted one. I've always thought Pansies were gorgeous but thought they were annuals and I had other annuals I bought so didn't get them. When I heard these bloom all winter and were perennials I decided I had to have some. This one is Rose Blotch
Pink Shades
And last is Premium Pure Light Blue
The Dinnerplate Dahlia is still trying to make it but I don't think it will. It's about 'teacup' size now.
This Dahlia must have had it's Cheerios . . . look how this stem stretched up above the others.
I laid a stem of Baby's Breath on the Snow In Summer. Looks pretty together, doesn't it?!
This is the bright orange Geranium the lady sold me saying it was pink. It's losing color and looks really pretty now.
I hope my Cleome re seeds. This one is new to me and came up from seed. I want lots now!
Bachelor Button
Begonia
Malva Zebrina still going crazy!
Sedum Autumn Joy
