Waaaa hooooo Spring Has Almost Sprung

[Lacy]

I just took some shots of some things that are flowering.
My peonies are flowering, along with some witchbroom, irises adn even some black eyed susie vines.

 

[Lacy]

Well duh!!!!

Why poison ourselves deliberately like that. I am sure we get enough unwanted chemicals withOUT adding extra.
Thats just retarted in my opinion and YOU KNOW ' I gotta have one'

a friend of mine was telling me that he coats his tomatoes with saven(sp) dust once a week...I asked him if worried about eating tomatoes with chemicals all over them....not me..

The alpine is on the other downspout and flowers spring. The other one is just starting.

is this a trillium?

 

[jimmyspaz]

is this a trillium?

Yep that's a trillium alright. It's illegal to pick them here (Ontario) but OK to transplant them. Each plant takes 7 years (I think) to flower, and if the flowers are picked the plant dies. It's the provincial flower of Ontario and is on a lot of gov. stuff too.

 

[Lacy]

Yes sir. That is our flower. The flower of Ontario.
$100 fine if caught picking one.
No sh*t.

Here that is
so you're safe

Even the government got dibs on the wild flowers.

Later bong, Lackins has to has a nap now.
I is fading fast.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures Mr. Bong. Lovely

[Lacy]

Thats right but they do pollinate freely

Goodnight/ or whatever

Nelly Moser clematis is one of the few clematis that can be grown in the shade...or basically requiring little driect sunlight. I have two of them but this one that is in the sun is starting to flower now while the other will bloom later.

Hey Lacy, the card on my Nelly Moser says full sun. I have another climatis with purple blooms that grows well in shade but not sun. I am so confused so I put my Nelly Moser in a spot the gets about 6 hours of sun per day.
I have chopped a bleeding heart bush down twice now and it still keeps on growing like crazy. I have another one white that is big too, but that spot can hold it, lol.
My Stella D'Oros are ready to bloom too, lol. I luv flowers.
So far in bloom I have, lots of Columbine, Anemomies, Dianthus and the annuals I planted.
My tulips, hyacinth, widflowers daffodils and all spring bulbs are done now, sad. My lillies are ready to bloom soon though.
I will stop rambling about my gardens now, but I luv it, lol.

It sure is a Trillium, our provincial flower. What a lovely flower too, wish I could pick em, lol.

You can transplant them if you want to. My mom had a bunch on the north side of our house where they were in shade, and they were lovely in the spring. When I was out in the bush planting a couple of weeks ago they were all over the forest floor under the trees. I like walking around the bush in the spring and looking at the wildflowers, truely beautiful.

Yes there is a lot of mixed intructions of this variety but I have the encyclopedia of clematis and 4 to 6 hours according of direct sunlihgt is perfect, Thats is about what mine gets in the front and it is growing much nicer than the one in the shade.

Hey Lacy, the card on my Nelly Moser says full sun. I have another climatis with purple blooms that grows well in shade but not sun. I am so confused so I put my Nelly Moser in a spot the gets about 6 hours of sun per day. A lot also depends on the soil and how fertile it is etc. I know that I am transplanting a few that just do not receive enough light due to the fact that the trees have known grown bigger.
I have chopped a bleeding heart bush down twice now and it still keeps on growing like crazy. I have another one white that is big too, but that spot can hold it, lol. I also have those but would like the white ones. They are gorgeous.
My Stella D'Oros are ready to bloom too, lol. I luv flowers. Yes those yellow day lilies are the most floriferious of all the day lilies. They bloom all summer long. Mine have not even starting blooming yet,
So far in bloom I have, lots of Columbine, Anemomies, Dianthus and the annuals I planted.
My tulips, hyacinth, widflowers daffodils and all spring bulbs are done now, sad. My lillies are ready to bloom soon though.

Yes my lilies ate up and ready to bloom shortly too. I have a large range of other flowers that are coming up as well and have them in groups of 7 to 20 so they really stand out.

I love gardening flowers as well. Its such a pleasurable past time.

They are. I have a bunch of them that I transplanted years ago that I look forward to each year. We have so many of them growing around me here. The reason why it takes so long for them to reflower is because they are only a single flowerred flower so when you pick the top of the flower, there is nothing to keep it growing so its new growth has to start from the root system.

Yes exactly the same here where I live and they look gorgeous.
