Mon jardin 2009
Sheriff Roland:
One last look (prob'ly) at the yellow tulips - main flowerbed - which will need a lot of tending to this year.
Sheriff Roland:
It's been warm (over 20c (70f)) so mon jardin's blooming. I'll have new pics soon - but first - got over a dozen older pics to post.
Here's an update of the yet unidentified flox-like plant.
retropian:
I'm so glad you post these pictures. :) I grew up outside of Montreal and now live in Phoenix AZ. I still miss the spring bulbs and preparing the vegetable garden for planting and seeding. Your pic's make me wistful for that. The desert here has its own beauty, and can be quite spectacular when in bloom, but I do miss tulips and Daff's, Lilac's and Iris's. Sigh.
OOps. I meant to post this to your "Mon Jardin" thread!
Sheriff Roland:
Hope you don't mind reptopian, I moved your post on the correct thread. Thanks for the lovely comment. In 'My Great White North', there's a thread by the same name with a whole summer's worth of pictures - from 2 years ago. Last's year's effort was a bit of a disappointment - it's called 'Tiptoe thru my tulips.'
So far so good for this year's thread ...
The ground flox are doing very well. This variety I now have in three areas of the front yard, though my latest patch has been mostly decimated - I sold em off. Still got two healthy patches of this colour though.
Sheriff Roland:
And the bluer ground flox
BTW, I mowed the front lawn this evening (first time for '09)
