First W/S Bloom...and the winner is....
Comments (6)Congrats! I think the weather may have finally straightened itself out, so I'm sure there will be plenty to follow before long. Alyssum was my first bloom as well.

Between the lighting of the room, the camera and your monitor there are too many distortions to the color. Your best bet is to try to find color swatches that match what you see on your monitor. Or you can print it and hopefully it will print close to what you see and that can be taken to the paint store for a color match. Sky...See MoreS.L. Magazine came and...
