Default Misc. pots

I planted two of the large pots with gladiolus bulbs. I hope they bloom. This was taken about 2 weeks ago. The ferns along the fence died back b/c of a rare hard freeze where it got down to an unheard of 20 degrees. They are just now starting to come back from the roots. Donna

I heard on the news today that the cherry blossoms in DC are at their peak.

Default Impatiens in planter, pineapple sage

They'll grow a lot as time goes on. The elephant ears are coming back from the roots of the mother plant which died back the abnormally cold winter.

This is a very young plant. Blooms are quite fragrant. Bees like.

Nothing growing in the ground yet. A white narcissus is blooming on my balcony. Smells wonderful, but too strong for indoors.

Edit. Found a pic and description..
