My PPPP is just starting to bloom, too. Glad the worst of the storms passed you by; it's been a scary spring in some places in the country.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-65657244764954363952016-05-02T21:10:23.133-05:002016-05-02T21:10:23.133-05:00I try to remember to deadhead the Virginia waterfl...I try to remember to deadhead the Virginia waterfleaf, and do take some out at the edges, so they don't exactly behave themselves on their own. ;-)Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-47581398187786876642016-04-29T00:32:57.160-05:002016-04-29T00:32:57.160-05:00Columbines are blooming early this year, I love th...Columbines are blooming early this year, I love the red and yellow natives but mine were very weak and slowly disappeared while the double "petticoat" type go crazy. I can't seem to grow Amsonia, either, it seems some of the east coast natives don't do well here at all. I'm glad to find the Virginia waterleafs are invasive, I was tempted by them since the native waterleafs do well here. I'm glad the tornado stayed away, they are scary.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-34520499153432336242016-04-28T21:34:35.857-05:002016-04-28T21:34:35.857-05:00April is looking lovely in your garden Sue!

They really are fun....beside being beautiful, they always have a use.

So classy and refined! My Phlox pilosa has been blooming since late January and it's still going strong, but when I had it in south central Kansas, it only lasted a year or two before dying out. We'll see how it does over this next winter here in the Florida panhandle.Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-10765763207502736772016-04-28T09:22:04.955-05:002016-04-28T09:22:04.955-05:00I have trouble keeping Columbines alive.

So nice to see it being well-behaved in your yard. I too had some crossing with several varieties of columbines last year - a variety I got from and English seed co. and another I'd done from a seed co in Canada - such sweet little blossoms. Very few plants have that red colour. We are well behind your growing progress - just too cold at the moment. Thanks for sharing all your little treasures. Hope the storms stay well away from you and your family and friends.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-36979376154546320022016-04-28T06:43:57.303-05:002016-04-28T06:43:57.303-05:00Drizzling now and more rain coming, but hopefully ...Drizzling now and more rain coming, but hopefully not the same stormy weather as last FridayDiana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-55690770283852984722016-04-28T03:51:36.316-05:002016-04-28T03:51:36.316-05:00Hi Sue-so glad to hear you escaped the worst of th...Hi Sue-so glad to hear you escaped the worst of the storms. A lot of places got terrible hail as well--that can destroy a garden in minutes!<br />Love your blooms--we're STILL just "brown" up here--though I suppose that's better than white with snow!<br />Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.com
