Time For Azaleas

Posted by: Brenda Kula | March 10, 2009

They are opening now. The ones in back, the pink ones, seem to grow bigger. There are only a few now fully bloomed.

The tangerine in front.

The pansies in this pot were past their prime. I replaced them with marigolds.

Charlie, get out of there.

Daisy love…

The tulips are beginning to bloom. Here’s the first one.

  1. Torture me! I can’t believe you have all those flowers. It has been so warm here and things are popping up. Now it’s a possibility that we will have snow. Boo hoo.

  5. This just simply amazes me, Brenda.

    We added Spring touches to the back porch, today. However, I had to use silk flowers on the garden gate. It will be at least another month or 6 weeks, before I will be brave enough to put out live plants!

    Beautiful photos as usual!!

  7. Your daisies are blooming?? My goodness, mine are just starting to show up. Why do pansies look so bad? I cannot figure that out. Mine are usually so pretty in April. Mystery!

  11. Hi Brenda,

    I especially love the marigolds, they remind me of my dad. He used to plant them every year and each time I see some I think of him. Your sweet Charlie is looking for something? Maybe it’s Spring! I am so with you on the time change (thanks for your comments). It’s going to take me some time to get used to it and then we’ll “Fall back”. Have a great week!

  13. Ohmygosh– look at all those blooming things! I do love azaleas. My grandmother always had them beneath her living room window back in NC. Too alkaline out here on the edge of the plains.

  17. Okay, you are not that far away from me, yet your yard looks like spring is all over it. What kind of magic wand do you have anyway?

  18. It is so fun to see what is growing in different parts of the country. Pansies are just blooming like crazy right now here. I have four potted azaleas on the front porch blooming but the other ones in the ground won’t bloom for another month at least. I am affraid any annuals would freeze because we are still having frost here.
