Weed?

Okay, I still don't know what it is (see May 1st), but it is getting nice purple flowers now.


Oh, and I moved it away from the columbine that it just didn't fit with.

Snow and Fire

The snow is gone, but the creeping phlox is filling in. I still don't know what the healthy green next to it is (something I planted right after I bought the house--it has done remarkably well in the crappy clay "soil" along the house--it is now at several times its original coverage).

Meanwhile, in back, the Mountain Fire Pieris is brilliant red. Love it!
















And my first allium is in full bloom.




Now if I could just learn to embrace the dandelions...

Mystery Plant 2008

Anybody recognize this? Looks like it's getting a flower on top. Came up in about a week to 18" or so...

Probably a weed! I pulled out five bags of weeds from under my pine tree last night. I'll wait to see what kind of flower this one gets...
