It's definitely been cool enough for them here lately!<BR/><BR/>Kris - I bet they will attract the bees, I hope they do :) <BR/><BR/>RainGardener - It did rain here yesterday, and yes snow this morning. Luckily we enjoyed the couple days of spring the days before :) I love seeing the hummingbirds, I haven't seen any for a week or so.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-47124714660451715462009-03-15T08:47:00.000-07:002009-03-15T08:47:00.000-07:00Hi Catherine, you've got a lot of great things blo...Hi Catherine, you've got a lot of great things blooming - so colorful. What do you mean you had a spring like day yesterday. We had floods of rain and today it's snowing. So much for seeing what's blooming. LOL But I know spring is really coming because my girlfriend saw a hummingbird the other day.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-61261141286842587382009-03-15T05:05:00.000-07:002009-03-15T05:05:00.000-07:00Those jewel-tone colors just pop in the shade, don...Those jewel-tone colors just pop in the shade, don't they?

Hope your crops make it!<BR/><BR/>Karen - We made it through the day! I'd like to find more of the drumstick primulas, I really like them!<BR/><BR/>Cameron - Thanks, they were definitely bright :)<BR/><BR/>Susie - I'll post the the drumstick primulas when they bloom, they are really tall.<BR/><BR/>Chandramouli - You're right they do make it dazzle :)<BR/><BR/>Rob - I can't wait to really start planting, but it was nice to add some color now.<BR/><BR/>Sue - Maybe they weren't hardy to your zone? I was surprised at just how many varieties there are. I bet some would work for you!<BR/><BR/>Tina - I think the German primroses must be very tender, I'll see if they make it. The drumsticks have lots of babies around them now. My daughter had a great day and even made a goal in her game!<BR/><BR/>Cinj - I hope the warmer temps start to melt the snow. I'm sure you're very ready for it to be gone.<BR/><BR/>Chuck - You're funny :) I hope you can find a primrose for your garden :)Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-25576411304052640442009-03-14T18:24:00.000-07:002009-03-14T18:24:00.000-07:00I'm sorry I don't have any primroses right now.
