  8. I'm so jealous, you got such a great shot of your Pasque flowers open in the sun! I have only 3 blooms after a deer attack and it's been rainy/cloudy for the past 3 days. I had to laugh at your disclaimer about the dandelion. Spring has definitely moved in to stay at your garden.

  12. Hey, spring has sprung even in Zone 5b! Phew. Love the plethora that is just busting out everywhere right now. Your garden is looking great! I keep seeing pasque flower on people's blogs, I think I'm going to have to get one and see if I can grow it. Love its stems and that cool dusky purple flower. Happy Bloom Day!

  14. Hi~~ I am soooo waiting patiently (ha) for my Geum 'Prairie Smoke' to bloom. I bought the plant last year and it looks happy but I haven't seen any buds yet. Yours is a work of art. Beautiful flowers all around.

  15. Thanks for the comments! I am so enjoying my yard walks and seeing all the new and continuing growth! More tulips and daffs are blooming today, and my nigellas look to be coming up.

    I also enjoyed visiting your gardens through your blogs.
