It's spring, and my garden is beautiful!  It's been helping me exercise and work up my stamina as I slowly, slowly recover from all my electrolyte problems. So, here are a bunch of pics:

A tulip that [info]sunsplashbarbie sent me.  Thank you!!!  Squirrels got a few, but they are lovely.



More tulips, with my LAdy Banks rose on the fence, some purple geraniums, white candytuft and one of my tomato pots.



My Lady Banks yellow rose, which covers the 7 foot high fence and is breathtaking.  18 months ago, it was 6 inches tall.  Life is amazing!



My rosemary has been blooming for months, and it's still going strong.  The most delicate shade of purple, and lots of hummingbirds drop by too.



A Snake's Head frittelaria.  One of my weirder bulbs that I was not expecting to come back this year.  It has the coolest checkboard pattern on it!



Freesia...my freesia bulbs have gone nuts this year, doubling and tripling from last year.  And oh, the smell is heaven.



Purple Mary Washington geraniums and some "wild" oxalis (a weed that i hate to pull...it's pretty, so it's a wildflower unless it's suffocating something else)



Species tulips from Turkey that return year after year, despite the heat.  They respond strongly to the sun so I get a pink spire in the morning, and a yellow bloom in the afternoon.  It's very cool.



A Camilla from my front yard.  The blue is me trying to take pictures to use for my author website...[info]elainelowe.  Check out the results.



Blanketflower.  So happy.



Orange wallflower



Yellow butterfly rose



One of many many daffodils  I adore daffodils.

That's it for now...but more things are blooming every day!
