Newsy gardens & plants – April 9, 2010

Imagine a mass of climbing roses.  When in bloom, all you see is beauty.

  • A Connecticut garden in May:
    • Andrew @ Gardening tips and Ideas: Clematis, Iris, Ferns and Peonies, all in one garden A true delight Thank you for sharing
    • joenesgarden: Laurrie, I hope you share photos of all these buds when they are in full bloom then I can enjoy yours when mine have passed peak.
    • Laurrie: Your blooms are lovely and precocious I think! Like Layanee's, my clematis is only in bud, yours are so much further along. And my iris (I have Beverly Sills too) is only budding, nowhere near open yet. How different each garden is, even in the same general area. Happy Spring!
    • Layanee: Your clematis are so much further along than mine. Mine are still in bud but I do have high hopes of blooms soon. It is a lusty month of May this year isn't it?
  • Butterfly watching:
    • Heather: How sweet! And I love mum-mum instead of grandma. My mom goes by Meemaw. :)
