1) Gorgeous!! Pegi, what's the pretty green leaf under the azalea on the left?

2) Isn't spring fabulous? I spent the entire day cleaning up the yard and loved every minute of it. Everywhere I looked something was blooming. Hurray and good ridance to winter!

3) I think that's her bleeding hearts Nancy.

4) Sarah's right, Nancy. There's a close-up in the next picture.

5) Oh yes, I see now. They're just beautiful. I love the leaves.

6) Pegi,
to answer your question you aked earlier...
Believe it or not i still have 2 months to go. I am just all out front and yes the baby is low. I am already a waddler at 7 months. I love your flowers makes a yard, home anything so peaceful and beautiful

7) Bek, I hope that wasn't a rude question! I guess your little body just has nowhere for that little tyke to go but out and down! Waddle on, girl!

8) Pegi,

Ever dealt with wild geraniums in a yard? Apparently I get them in droves (never knew the name until today) every year.

9) Yep. I don't know if they're the same kind, but we have them here in NC. If they were actually pretty they wouldn't be such a pest!

Interesting, though, I picked up a perennial geranium at the local farmer's market that reseeds like crazy. It is probably considered a weed because it spreads so rapidly, but I have let it take over under some shrubbery and I love it. It has finely dissected leaves and is continuously covered with bright pink flowers.

10) It's not an ugly weed but it sure takes over in the yard. This year is the worst of all--it's overrun the raised bed areas. Talk about rapid! Guess it liked that cool, wet spring. I thought it was kinda pretty the first year until it consumed the back. :) Thanks for the plant info, as always!!

11) I think I may regret letting this one take over, too! It does pull easily, though, where the other weedy geranium it almost impossible to get out by the roots. How about yours?
