First Signs of Spring

I took a walk around last evening and was surprised to see ..... tulips.

Not crocus, not daffodils but tulips?

Below are my red tulips which face the south side of my home. Last year these didn't start sprouting until March.

Uh-oh a bulb popped out of the ground, I think I'll just push that rascal back in the ground.

Another tulip facing on the north side of my home.

And this morning ....................... snow

I'm Melllllllllllting

It's spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you've got it, you want - oh, you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so! ~Mark Twain

We have had warm and cold , warm and cold, and more warm and cold weather which provides us with such huge icicles around the building where I work. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago.

As I look out my window today however, all ice is gone and it is raining. Hopefully these are the first of our spring showers.

Daylily Seeds

My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view. ~H. Fred Ale

Last fall I collected some daylily seeds from some Stella O'dora plants at work. I planted some and well........ I forgot about the others. I had the seeds tucked away in my frig and found them. The seeds were inside a ziplock bag and most all of them had roots!?

This is something very new to me so we shall see if nature will surprise me. The above picture you see a little sprout. So if even one of them survives I will be elated.
