Bursts of color
Posted on Feb 23rd, 2009 by Allison (In the Garden)

DaffodilsA few weeks ago I stopped at Molbaks and picked up some primrose and daffodils to grace my patio as I am waiting for the bulbs and flowers from last year to bloom again. That sweet baby daffodil just keeps blooming.

And after discovering my first little crocus bud munched into oblivion before it could bloom, I’ve regularly followed shiny little slime trails to pots and rocks, searching for and dispoing of the evil slugs that lurk beneath… just waiting to feast on my garden.  

Baby Iris
And then today….

I opened my blinds today and looked out into my garden and saw this!

The cute little iris that I’d planted early last spring (just before it bloomed) had survived the winter and has burst forth into glorious color on my patio.   

Daffodils and tulips from last year are several inches out of the ground and developing buds.  YEAH! 

Crocus and primroseAnd…  

My slug hunting has paid off, because the crocus and and primrose are also in bloom.

I love flowers.   Anything new in your garden?

I love your little garden! I’m looking forward to the tour next month.

Not much exciting is happening here. I have some daffodils and tulips poking up, though some have been trampled by the neighbor boys, sadly. I hope they recover.

Those are beautiful! Such vivid purply blue irises. I love spring in other parts of the country.

Such beauty! Where would we be without our flowers? I was out admiring my fire red geraniums yesterday, they are huge! They make me so happy.

Thank you for sharing your cute little flowers. I love them! I wonder what I will find in my gardens when we arrive home?

I love the baby iris, beautiful color. I’m so glad you huted down that nasty slug ugh!!! I dislike slugs and snails, they can devour a beautiful bloom in one night. I have some beautiful geraniums in bloom and a really beautiful purple wave petunia in a pot.Thanks for sharing your lovely patio garden.

I don’t have a garden. Though I admire them, and think they are beautiful. My thumb isn’t quite what you would call green.
