This ALWAYS happens, ALWAYS

We go to the flower show.....come home with a painful case of spring fever, and it SNOWS. REALLY? Did ya HAVE to do that???

 

 

The good news is, it'll be gone by this afternoon. The bad....winter is just not quite over.

We did go to the flower show this week, though, lots of ideas, lots of fun, and a bit of a haul.....

My goodies include.....tow daylilies, both "chocolate", a mystery peony, an iris called "lion king", a chocolate penstemon, a mouse tail plant and some seeds. I could have done more damage, but it was just getting WAY too crowded....and the year is young....Can't plant anything yet (see above).

There were also a couple of store bought scores......a hellebore "merlin" out of the clearance rack, some green-eyed narcissus that are pretty cool, from Costco, Daylily "bella Lugosi", another bright orange one, and some pink and white oriental lilies, from the bulb sale at fred meyer, a pure white peony "Shirley temple", and some funky gladiolas. They're all cooling their heels in the garage right now, waiting for the big melt off, which should happen today.

This week, it's supposed to rain, although I might go out between showers to plant what I've gotten so far. Don't want to get behind, ya know.......
