Lilacs might be nice to see. They don't grow very well here in Texas.

I haven't changed my avatar yet or been around here much lately because I've been very busy in my garden. Starting a new job next week and I have lots to do now that I won't have all this free time anymore. It's a good problem to have!

But keep posting new flowers, everybody!

Where do you live?

Here in Texas my hellebores have been blooming for weeks. Some of my daffodils bloomed last month and others (jonquils really) are blooming now. My star of Bethlehem are just getting started. Snowdrops also bloomed last month and a little bulb called ipheion that has little blue star shaped flowers. I have a fence that is covered with Carolina jessamine that blooms every February and is very fragrant.

I love flowers. I think we need a gardening thread.

Lilacs bloom here in the beginning of May so I think they count as Spring flowers!

long island, new york. so you definitely have a big head start on your garden than here! may 15th is the *official* last frost date, so only then can plant annuals and such. i see a few of my daffodils have started to open, by next week i imagine them to be in full bloom.

i have a very shady backyard, so i am more about foliage color and texture, with a few bursts of color with a choice few flowering perennials, and then of course some annuals to brighten it all up. we DO have a gardening thread on the art wall:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=67515
obviously, just for sharing pictures.
definitely....a gardening talk thread would be good. have had a few in the past, but not much participation...perhaps start up a new one!



fifthelement - nice flowers!



OK - i started a gardening thread!

A different flower.

I still have to edit a lilac or two to the right size--so this one may also be a summer flower. :geek:

This reminds me, I actually have to get an avatar.

looks like a morning glory, i think....so yes...summer flower. by the time you get round to your lilac avatar, spring will be over and time for summer flower avatars.

This plant is blooming in my yard now. I think it qualifies.
