Very nice, Suzy, and it's tidier than our front terrace, by a considerable margin. Welcome to spring! Here we just got done with a week of summer temperatures and are returning to a more normal spring freshness. I hope it doesn't hail, though. Our first half of spring got compressed and a lot of fruit trees flowered in a hurry. My Parma violets loved the warmth, though, especially 'Marie Louise', which stretched out its stems to get its little double lavender blooms up to the sun. What a cutie. The catalog describes it as having an exotic fragrance; to me it smells like grape candy. My mangled Tea roses look as though they may recover in time: they're putting out a lot of new growth.

Isn't it a lovely time when the hostas begin to unfurl. It is hard to believe (at this point) that your garden will be crowded. But then again, I have seen it happen in my garden too so I am a believer! Your hostas look lovely. Thanks for sharing your photo.

I'm an 'Evelyn' fan also. Gorgeous colors and delicacy in your pictures. Eager to see lots more of 'Strawberry Hill'. Love that rooster!

hl, I would not recommend Fire Alarm to anyone in my area. I lost my first one and replaced it but they are very hit and miss. marquest, we too had a mild winter here which is probably why Fire Alarm survived. Most of mine made it through this winter so I am happy with them. Connie, I'm surprised about your Key Lime Pie. That was one of my first Heucheras and I have even successfully divided it once - I find it doesn't always take. But mine always comes back happy and healthy. I hope yours survives! Sherry, do take out that camera! I always love your Heuchera photos! Barb
