Thanks Zigs for the info, and I love your cactus blooms. Only in recent years have I seen cactus that bloom available here.

a few pics from the yard. First the flowering weeds

really like the green "carpeted" base (spurge?) under the hostas, nice touch!

It is baby’s tears or soleeirolia soleirolli. A great ground cover in the shade to partial sun that is a low mat. Does great in my temperate climate with small and medium hostas.

My only planter this year that isn’t created from plants out of the garden. Every time I went to the nursery to look for fillers for pots I saw planters filled with greenery I am having to pull as I dismantle the old woodland garden. Needless to say the prices felt exorbitant so I walked away with nothing. This was my last empty pot to fill.

nice to use plants from the garden!

all my pots are filled with annuals from the garden center, fortunately my long-time account gets me a discount.

I do have 2 hydrangeas in the big square containers that seem to have over wintered pretty well, maybe we'll see some good blooms this summer.

yes, that is a cicada, brood X is here. lol

Had to prune the Tulip tree the other day so stuck this flower bud in a vase of water

My Silktree, albizia julibrissin, loved the wet spring we had and is just starting to grace us with beautiful flowers.

Field poppy in my garden, the flowers only last a day. Don't know where it came from.
