Creeping phlox, but my Mama always called it purple threft. Guess maybe that's a common name around here. :)  Of course, I got my start of this from my Mama. Jan |

| Oh my, oh my, I am envying you folks down south right now. It's been snowing up here, and we might even get a nor'easter storm by tomorrow night. Thank you for sharing your blooming beauties! I wish I could grow camellias, and I can hardly wait for my daffodils to bloom. I had my first crocuses of the year open yesterday. That iris is just beautiful. I love irises (they were one of my first gardening loves, and I've got quite a few historic ones). Yours looks like a historic one - do you know its name? Laurel |
|
| No Laurel, I don't know the name of that one. My son was renting an old home out in the country, and there were tons of these growing around a large oak tree. Of course they didn't bloom much, due to being in the shade. He was going to dig them and throw them away, so I rescued them. Now, I have a long bed bordering my driveway, and they reach from one end to the other. Should be spectacular when they are all blooming, I think. I don't know how much bloom I'll get this year on them, due to moving them last fall. Jan |

| Ok , you natural blond , you. it's raining here and we sure needed it so I can't get out and get pics. But I do have the one of the Star Mag. Maybe the daffodils will survive the rain. I have 3 redbuds in my yard but they are just beginning to bud. just in time for the 28 degrees we will have tomorrow night. Everything will be bitten again. I m still happy about the rain though. We call ( north Alabamians ) Creeping flocks, thrift. it's called that because it's is so thrifty...lol..Spreads well if you have a small hill to cover and I have several....Ellie

| Oh Ellie, just look at that bed full of dl's behind your Star Magnolia, which is beautiful BTW. :) They look so organized with your labels so neat and in rows!! Let me tell you a little story about my dl labels.... |
|
| Well tweety, that patch is pretty organized but some of the other aren't. he ones in the flower beds look pretty good though. The new bed I ade last year at the side of the house is coming along pretty good too!! When the dls get up more, you can't see the labels as well and that's a good thing since the labels are so stark. But they look nice when the are blooming.. I wish I was young enough ( or able ) to make pretty beds like you have. But alas, I don't have the energy anymore. I finished claeang and tilling my seedling patch just in time for a freeze. Some of the newer ones were going to bloom this year but I am not so sure what the cold is going to do to them. I will take a picture of them next week and show you. Some are very tiny and some were last years first blooms....Ellie |
