Thanks Dan. With the unusual cool temps and extra rain this year spring bulbs have been better than ever!

I wasn't going to mention any names......lol! Oh well, my boys have entered their garden into the kids competition, so I thought I may as well throw my hat into the ring as well. Well, here's a few pics from my yard. The Mock Orange has been smelling heavenly the last week or so, and I like the combo with the delphiniums. The Goat's Beard has been doing a fine job at camouflaging the unfinished deck.:) And here's my latest project, which just has a few holes here and there to fill in yet. Here's some closer shots of the island semp beds I made. (In the top left had corner of this first picture, you can see a scape on one of my daylily seedlings from last year!) It's amazing how little room you need for those semps.....I could easily fit in a couple dozen more.;0)

Goodness, you sure have a nice variety of blooms! I love your Ribbonnette. I love mine too, but had to move it from the edge of the woods to a sunnier location. It was leaning toward the sun too much, almost falling over. Nefertiti was on my 2008 wish list, but for some reason, I didn't get it. Now, after seeing your photo, it must go on my 2009 list with an * next to it! Thanks for sharing your beauties, Julie

Thank you everyone. So the truth be told: that butterfly wouldn't sit in a spot lighting it properly, always shaded on one side, so I set my focus on the plant and just kept snapping, hoping to catch him in the right light. I got lucky on this one! Darren
