I'm going to ditto Wendy, I really am inept at photo's -- but this week my irises are looking really great.  My tulips are done, my hyannicyths are done, my daffodils are done, those first flowers that come... can't remember their names this late at night, but they are gone.  It is always such a joy though, when they first appear -- the first flowers of the season.
   Rootswoman, your home looks lovely with all those plants.  I just had to have my roof replaced  YUK all that money with not too much enjoyment of the spending.  BUT -- today with the help of my father we got the pool cover off of the pool.  I think it was the year before last that I had to replace the pool liner & it is a lovely caribbean turquoise.
