Since they are a native it reminds me of floating on the rivers- obviously because they are off on the banks somewhere.<br />Same weather here- my new beds that were born over Spring break now have large lakes in them from the unrelenting rain.

Navelwort is a beauty, BUT in my garden it becomes a weed. I think it's about ten years since I had one single plant in a pot on top of the well and still I have to remove lots of small plants every year. Otherwise I'm afraid that they would take over the whole bed. I haven't let them flower for atleast five years and still there are plant showing all summer long.

Love the checkered frittilaria too ~ I can't believe you found that in the grocery store. I've never seen anything very exotic in our grocery stores. <br />Sorry about the rain. I know how that feels except for us it's usually snow. Once it turns nice, I just want it to stay that way and be outside!<br />Oh, very cool about the Pileated woodpecker ~ I remember you got some great photos last year. Maybe you'll get another chance? I'd love to have them move into my flicker box!!!Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_kornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-65247373219122628022010-03-29T19:54:03.319-07:002010-03-29T19:54:03.319-07:00Oh I'm glad I waited and came back for the pic...Oh I'm glad I waited and came back for the pictures. This morning they weren't all showing but mine weren't either so it was a blogger problem. Love your checkered Frittilaria and those cute little Starry Eyes. Your place is going wild. Speaking of which . . . wasn't that wind wild last night? It was kind of scary. Hope the poppies I transplanted are still ok cause it was flat raining here. The noisiest I've heard in ages. Today going to town on the road I showed in the snow? I think driving it in the snow is less scary than hydroplaning all the way into town. That's what I did today.

Interesting about the Japanese maple, I will have to take that into account for my still-unsolved shade tree decision. I don't have enough space to have another tree that nothing will grow under! Yes, the one sunny day for me was spent indoors and in the car, so it is especially frustrating now that it's horrible out again! Plus, spring break... agh! Hope we get a clear day again and you see the hummers in your ribes before too long!Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-73525151851935512192010-03-29T19:43:26.887-07:002010-03-29T19:43:26.887-07:00Thank you everyone for stopping by!
Chandramouli ...Thank you everyone for stopping by!<br /><br />Chandramouli - This is my first time growing frittilaria, but I'm pretty sure the flowers are supposed to "nod".<br /><br />Lona - The currant doesn't have a scent, but every year I smell it anyway :) It looks like it should smell good.<br /><br />Heather - The Navelwort is supposed to be hardy down to zone 6a. Maybe you have a micro climate in your yard that stays a little warmer and it would work?<br /><br />LC - I read that the currant is hardy zone 5a - 8a. I hope you can grow it, it's a beautiful shrub.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-37430842861101435342010-03-29T19:20:24.355-07:002010-03-29T19:20:24.355-07:00Awesome post Catherine! and oh my..I LOVE Ashley.....Awesome post Catherine! and oh my..I LOVE Ashley..how fantastic your girls named her!
