Halleluliah! Just in time for alot of people, I'm thinkin'.
I love hollyhocks, but have never grown them. Are they hard to grow?

So glad to see that there.. It was snowing here yesterday, and hailing, and raining and snowing and sleeting.. couldn't make up it's mind. Well, that's kinda like spring here in Oregon! Love the pussywilliows. A childhood favorite (well, still a favorite) hope you feel well

Did you get snow last weekend, like my boys in Charlotte? We won't see plants for a while yet (sigh)!

Pam said...

I can't wait for spring to arrive here - we had snow yesterday.

Paula said...

Ah, spring is in the air where you are! It snowed, hailed, and rained here yesterday. Just another day in paradise! Love those pussy willows!

Wow - you are waaaaay ahead of us as far as spring greenery goes. We just had more snow yesterday!

Shanster said...

I'm droolin' ovah heeyah!

I'm in CO and our planting season is way, far, away... I'm jealous of your columbine. I'm too far North almost in WY - I don't have a spot they'll make it.

Tho' I did take lots and lots of daylilly transplants from someone last year and they seem to be coming back in. Hooray! They told me to be careful because they will take over.

I laugh. I need as many of those sort of plants as I can possibly GET! :)

Pam said...

Ace - it does, doesn't it.

Shabby - they are super easy. I started all of these from seeds.

Chellebelle - I think we're done with snow here. I'm feeling a little better, thanks!

Marjie - no! It went North, South, East and West of us!

Pam - I'm ready for it too!

Paula - it's 80 today! But it's going to be rainy and in the 50s for the rest of the week.

Love - I'd take snow if it got us off of school.

Shanster - all my garden catalogs are coming in and I am so ready for spring.

The photos are so beautiful! I love Hollyhocks, Foxgloves and Columbine, but my hollyhocks are well and truly frizzled after the heat we've had. :-(

I love pussywillows! So beautiful!

Lisa said...

Columbine is such a lovely plant in so many ways. It just seems to take care of itself. I like the way it is pulling itself out into the open here. Nice photos!

Andrea said...

Cannot wait for spring...your photos give me hope!! :)

Wandering Chopsticks said...

My hollyhocks and columbines are poking up too.

Pam said...

Tater - my hollyhocks are usually the only thing that survives when it gets really hot here.

Jenn - me too. I love cutting the branches to put in a big vase on my dining room table.

Lisa - I love it. It reseeds so easily.

Andrea - I can't wait to see Sophie in the spring photos!

Wandering - take pictures! Let's compare!
