The only thing is, we don't have much room to work with for our garden. Our HOA is super strict and we are only *allowed* to plant in our gated courtyard. So you could say I have gone overboard and it looks like we have some kind of tropical oasis in our tiny courtyard. Yes, one fall Mark and I planted about 300 bulbs. Too bad the chipmunks found them and only a few flowers bloomed in the spring. That was three+ years ago and since then I have planted more bulbs, flowers, and plants. Perennials, annuals...I'll take either (though I prefer perennials obviously since it's the gift that keeps on giving!).
That takes me to my predicament: what plants are flowers...are they actually weeds? Aside from digging them up to look for a bulb I don't know. Leaving the little identifier that comes with the already growing plants doesn't help since the lawn people go crazy with the mulch and well we had a few blizzards this year!
First case study...weed or flower? I think it's a flower of some type...guess we'll wait to see!
Second case study...weed or flower?
Third case study...weed or flower? I'm 90% sure this will bloom...I think it's a peonia?!?!
But in closing, here are some flowers!
Carnations! Sorry, it looks a little bright...photos taken with my BlackBerry.
My lovely hydrangeas! These are my favorite. Three years ago I bought a branch of a hydrangea and planted it...nothing happened that spring/summer. Next year, nothing. Now this year, it has just flourished and is blooming up a storm! They are turning pink.
These flowers expanded by 10 fold from last year!
I have many lilies that are getting ready to bloom! They are going to be gorgeous!
