April Showers ...

Bring May Flowers


Our Peonies are taller than Freedom, and almost ready to bloom!
I'm thinking now that the Phlox is really Flax. That's what I get for not remembering what I plant and Google Image search isn't cooperating.
The lillies have popped up, so have the bleeding hearts. I was afraid that the second one had died, but it popped through! One is about a foot tall, the other one is maybe 4 inches tall.
I am a bit disappointed in the Hollyhocks. My Gram's were always tall and pretty. Mine are... short and stumpy. It's not quite May, so we'll see.
The lupine? Thanks to Krystal, I figured out what they were.
They're hanging in there. They seem short and stumpy too.

The biggest surprise?
The Shasta Daisies!
I didn't think they were going to grow since they were weed-eated (repetitively) last summer and an uber cold winter. I actually took some of the soil where they were planted out to plant the Bleeding Hearts. I was shocked when there were suddenly daises starting to grow along with them. Now to only remember where I put that soil.

This weekend, if the weather cooperates, I plan to do a little photo-tour of my plants.
I am slightly proud of the flowers this year!
