Today In the Flower Beds - April 23, 2012

SNOW!  Yup, I said snow, in April!  After all the warmer than usual weather we've been having!

I'm not overly surprised that we would get snow this late in April, it does happen fairly often, I remember one April, while working as a nanny, we got many snowfalls in April, none of them amounted to much and none of it lasted for very long, but it happened.  Just like today!  But I think some of my plants might be a little surprised by the weather!  They have been growing like it's the middle of summer and are now hiding in the snow!

Bachelor Buttons

Dwarf Purple Irises

"Hello, look at me, I am still here!"  Grape Hyacinth

Alliums

Rhubarb.

Hyacinth.

Snowy Tulips

Daylilies.

Despite the snow and cold, there is finally some growth on my favorite clematis!

 Giant Alliums.

"Don't mind us, we'll just stay  under here until the snow melts!" Sedum 

"I don't think today is a good day to open!" Daffodil

I don't think I have ever seen Asiatic Lilies and snow at the same time!!! 

Spring Has Sprung Part 2 - March 18, 2012

Here are some more photos I took over the weekend of the things that are already popping up in my flower beds.  Amazed at the amount of growth I see give that it is still March!

 Evening Primrose.

 Spider web Hen and Chicken.

 Delta Red Hen and Chicken

Hen and Chicken - not sure what this one is called, but I got it from my Nana's flower bed. 

 

Another Hen and Chicken - I bought this one, but lost the tag!

 

Another Hen and Chicken that can from my Nana's flower bed.

Hen and Chicken - not sure what this one is call or even where I got it! Can you tell that I really like Hen and Chickens??

Rhubarb!

 Tulips.

Daffodils.

Purple Sedum . . . can't believe that this is up already!

And one of my day lilies is has started coming up already!

I have my fingers crossed that we don't get any more wintery weather because all my little plants won't like it very much!
