It is blooming! No one would ever know it from any distance away, but the leaves are pretty cool, and it's nice to know to look and see them.<br /><br />I forgot to mention before that I have a Mohawk viburnum that I probably need to prune. It has two bloom clusters on a tall spindly stem.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-3596694980223805002010-04-20T07:08:28.561-05:002010-04-20T07:08:28.561-05:00Hi Shady, what lovely clothes your garden has prov...Hi Shady, what lovely clothes your garden has provided for mother earth.

Mine is only 3 years old, and it moved 5 hours away! ;-) They bloom so very early, be watching every day! I missed them last year!<br /><br />Hi Randy, I'm loving the ginger. It's very happy! ;-) I have an Aunt Shirley... so having the tulip is appropriate!<br /><br />Joey - absolutely grand! :-) I'm in love with it!!<br /><br />Rosemary, thank you. I feel that way when I visit other blogs often! :-)<br /><br />MMD, I'm very partial to the blues at any time. You should see the Virg. Blue Bells right now! Getting tall and quite floriferous! yea!<br /><br />Thanks, Jim. I'm very excited to report that some of the ligularia seeds you sent me are growing in the mini-greenhouses! I will be planting the other seeds directly outdoors in a couple of weeks!!Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-73638944613109748792010-04-16T21:28:32.185-05:002010-04-16T21:28:32.185-05:00great pics. jimgreat pics. jimJim Groblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027723131261970051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-69280990784616450212010-04-16T19:16:13.661-05:002010-04-16T19:16:13.661-05:00Just beautiful.

I just planted some in the last year or 2, and haven't seen them bloom. I moved them this year after taking some things out of the bed. I hope they still bloom. We had a nice rain today, so that will help the different plants I moved to different spots.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-51532491408825580752010-04-15T21:13:00.032-05:002010-04-15T21:13:00.032-05:00Garden Ms. S - Your comments made me smile!

Just don't know what I'm liking the best! ;-)<br /><br />Hi Darla, I enjoyed your post, too! <br /><br />Hi Kate, Thank you. I'm sorry I've been outdoors so much lately (and indoors finishing a quilt top)that I have hardly been to visit anyone!!<br /><br />Hi Sharon, I'm not sure when last I've been to Odebolt. How do you know this family? Do they sell your books there? You've made me very curious... and I'll have to look into a little "road trip" this Summer! :-) Thank you for your visit and your lovely comments.<br /><br />Valerie, I'm quite a bit south of you... so perhaps that's why you're not yet finding your wild ginger. My Aunt MEA shared this plant (and others), so I consider myself fortunate to have it! :-)<br /><br />Hi Jo, I'm so glad you stopped and left a comment. No, I'm not mad. But if you want to fix that situation, I'll head over before long. I now have ALL the necessary raking finished. If I do any more (and I most probably will), it will be because I want to. ;-) The last loads of leaves were carried to the ravine this evening before dark. Hope you're doing well!<br /><br />Hi NellJean, Thank you. I have a few varieties. This one caught my eye. It takes a little while, but each colony is growing... :-) Happy Bloom day (and Spring) to you, too!Shady Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05007816271406393818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-40068008567889552362010-04-15T19:29:43.153-05:002010-04-15T19:29:43.153-05:00that tiarella is so pretty.

It made me smile to see things waking up in Iowa.<br /><br />Do you ever visit the FABULOUS Prairie Pedlar in Odebolt, Iowa. Probably one of the best themed gardens I have ever seen and run by the best family, the Hogues, Jack, Jane, Grandpa, and occasional help from the children. I adore them.<br /><br />Sending spring blessings your way,<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green IslandSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7265980198981273900.post-68092673553361402842010-04-15T13:43:42.987-05:002010-04-15T13:43:42.987-05:00What a lovely post, Shady!
