Tip toe thru my tulips - and more '08
Artiste:
Beaux lilacs !
Ce sont des lilacs Francais ? French lilacs perfumed ?
Au revoir,
hugs!
Sheriff Roland:
Sorry about the lightness of my posting on this thread this year (seems there was a lot more to boast about last year).
I was away in mid April and again a couple a weeks ago (visiting an ailing mom) So I missed much of what little came up this year.
It's been cold ... lots colder than last year. The lupins shot up more than 10 flowers last year - this year only 3.
The yellow Iris (and for that matter, the light blue iris too) hardly showed at all.
The ornamental poppies (over 60 heads), the late blooming dark red (dr pepper smelling) and dark blues all managed to flower while I was gone to timmins two weeks ago - and as soon as I got back, it got cold and it rained a lot - hardly any sun >:(
However, I took 6 picture this morning and I'll be posting them in the next few minutes.

;D ;D
Sheriff Roland:
Oh & did I mention, I also missed most of the peonies? They LOVE hot weather, not so much rain.
any who here goes ... the annual poppies - and thank goodness there are many double (multiple?) petal blooms this year. I got 3 in one picture (usually see just one or two all summer long ...) Also, in the picture, a single bloom poppy ...
multiple blooms are so much lovelier
injest:
oh!! those are BEAUTIFUL!! the poppy is almost the same color!
