Yes, that's a beautiful one Sharon!

Here's my double fern leaf peony.

The edges of the flowers must have gotten touched by frost a bit.....oh well.

Great pix, everyone. Can I play, too? Finally, finally I'm getting a chance to post some pics. I still haven't got all of my planting done. I think I'm just about half done. But, thought I could find a few things that are blooming now. Bored with this one yet? Alstromeria 'Sara' Remember those self seeded pansies? Just to show that not all self seeded pansies are purple or yellow and a hybrid will come true Sweet Rocket Hesperis matronalis 'Alba' This will be true from seed for next year because I moved my purple and it didn't flower this year. I'll have lots of seed if anyone wants some white. Soapwort Sea Thrift Verbascum phoeniceum Shauna

Fast forward is right! I can't believe the week is up and Im just posting! I put roses in the right place, and here is some other stuff My favorite bed, since there is no maintenance except for clearing the path! Cranesbill in the "tree bed" (above) and another taller cranesbill in the walkway beds just opening My unknown daylily- the former owners had these verywhere- they even bloom in the north foundation bed! Larkspur and delph- I'm slowly seeding these in other beds. The pics aren't that great of these but the colors come out And an aside- the easy way to tell he has spent too much money on garage parts and toys "I can't believe I'm making a home for WORMS!"

Toots, my creeping phlox is doing nicely as well but there's so much grass in it that i haven't gotten to that i couldn't take a picture! What about that columbine? Is it trying to take over the world? Some started growing in my sidewalk beds and i just left them, but holy cow - they won't quit! I've sheered off the flowers after blooming and dug up lots of them and they just keep coming!

redpeony, Yup, I'm in Calgary, NW Royal Oak. That red peony I have is amazing. I can't believe how early it bloomed. You can get them at Sunnyside; sadly, they're labeled (ahem) "Red Double Peony". They also finally have 'Red Charm', which is also a very early bloomer. The 'Bowl of Beauty' I just planted this week, and it had a bud on it when I purchased it - I prefer to purchase peonies with buds, if only so that I know that they are at the proper depth. As for the snowball viburnum, when did you plant yours? I had serious dieback on it last year (its third year), and this is the first year it's ever bloomed. I find that they are very thirsty for water and need to be mulched heavily - I have four inches of bark mulch on the ground protecting it. I wouldn't worry about how much sun they get - although mine gets tons of afternoon sun, they are supposed to be fine in the shade. I attribute the early growth this year to a few things: I put down compost really early in the season (early April), and last year I fertilized with Wurzel Dip, which the plants really seemed to appreciate - although I will warn you, roses HATE, HATE, HATE it, no matter what Donna Balzer says. And finally, I fertilized at the start of the season with 24-8-16 (yes, Miracle-Gro). It's quite acidic, and that really helps with our too alkaline soil.

Beautiful pictures! I am envious of how far ahead of me you guys are. Neither my fern leaf peony nor Alliums are blooming yet. Here are some that are blooming though:

Assorted Darwin Tulips

Bought as Double Flowering plum, but not really double, eh?

Dwarf Garland Spirea

Assorted Daffs

King of Hearts Fern Leaf Bleeding heart

Rose Glow Barberry just starting to bloom.

I hope that the weather will soon warm up here, so I can have some more blooms! On the plus side, the cool weather has prolonged the bloom time of my tulips.

Very pretty Janet. I really like your red tulips and fern bleeding heart.

I forgot to post my 'Willy'.;^)

And with the heavy fog we had this morning it was cool how the water droplets clung on to the seed heads of the pasque flower.

I'm very envious of your fern leaf peonies. The buds froze on mine earlier this year....so no blooms. Same with my Pink Hawaiian Coral Peony.
As well, most of my tulips didn't open. Their buds froze too.
Our summer better be nicer than the spring we just had.

Laurie, my fern leaf peony was suppose to be a double. I bought it for $40, grrrr. I want to get a double this fall.

Great photo of the dewy pasque flower and my oh my Willy sure has gotten big this year!

Janet, I bought a Rose Glow Barberry and a Bailone Ruby Carousel this year, the colours are sure beautiful!

Shelley, sorry to hear that, yes we better have a long warm summer and fall ;)
