This pic is my new fur baby.

She will be 13 weeks on Wed. and weighs almost 3 lbs.
She is a toy fox terrier. Her name is Maeve, pronounced like save. Originally I named her Mimi, but that caused confusion with Bebe.
Of course the other rotten "kids" hate her.

Now that puppy - oh my! She is too cute for words!!

Marlin, If you ever discover the name of your bulbs, let me know.

Barking, I checked the link. The cups of the blooms I have are all white. Some look yellow in this pix, but they are not. Thanks for your help, as I would love to know the name.
Carrie, I had my cocker put down Christmas eve day. For me it works better to have a new puppy to help me heal. I know she can't ever replace my Snickers.

I agree, they look like tazetta narcissus but why are they blooming already? Mine usually bloom later than others in my garden but the scent is wonderful! Please note that I do not like the scent of paperwhites...so maybe this is it.

You are in another zone. Do you already have daffs in bloom? Mine multiply and literally have people stop and say what is that fragrance???

Love your little newbie! There is a certain period where they have to find their niche with the other children. We rescued a new kitten from the animal shelter for my granddaughter and he has fit in nicely. I wasn't sure he would cuz the other 3 are not very accepting. But, my GD had lost a baby kitten she rescued that was a stray in the neighborhood and named her Violet. She only lasted 5 days, but that didn't matter because she got so attached to her. She patiently tamed her over a couple of months, and we finally decided to bring her indoors after taking her to the vet to be checked out and get her baby shots. Kenna was devastated. We waited about 3 weeks for her to decide she wanted to try aother one. He is a sweetheart and loves her to pieces. Children and animals just "go together", you know?

Congrations on your blooms and your puppy!

Love the blooms and Maeve is adorable. It would be great to find bulbs that work here in our climate, it's one thing I do miss from colder climates.

My neighbor's son-in-law recently found a stray yorkie near his job in Houston. She was so thin and such a mess. He rescued her and she now lives with my neighbor's mother. Which has made all the difference in that widow's life.

Re: Maeve. She had her final shots today. She weighed 3 lbs...with her sweater on. lol.
He said she can be spayed any time now. eeek.
I think I'll wait until she's a bit bigger.

I love your narcissus too!

I can see yellow on one daffodil here!

I'm sorry for the losses of pets, but I'm glad y'all have new lovies.

My Golden Dawn (Narcissus tazetta) have buds on them. The Texas Star jonquils have greenery up, but no buds. It is their first season.

The dianthus are starting to bloom their hearts out. I remember them being absolutely beautiful in late February last year covered in yellow sulfur butterflies. I'm waiting for a dry/warm spell to really move things around in the back yard. Not many signs of life. I'm assuming I provided too much late summer shade for my Texas Gold Columbine since I don't see any growth yet.

My compost is all in place, so the new beds are ready for action. Of course the veggie beds aren't done yet. We've decided to add stone borders since we have stone left over from our arbor project.

We'll see!

Sure love seeing your blooms and furry friend. Maeve's precious!
