While taking a stroll around my yard yesterday I was delighted to see my Crocuses in bloom and doing so well.
I decided to take a few photos of them which turned out rather good, so I added them to the blog.

As mentioned yesterday about division, I had divided the corms last year as well as my Tulip bulbs and they are now full once again and looking their best, unlike the year before, for the mere fact the bulbs were too overcrowed and beginning to lag from insuffiecient amount of room for the roots to spread properly.

My spring garden is going to be beautiful this year. In fact a few of them in which I have are going to be lovely, but there is one inparticular I dote on because it is the first garden you see, right beside the entrance of my house.
The first garden your eyes focus on should always be the best. The show stopper so to speak, something that brings interest and curiousity to your visitors eyes as well as your own. That creates a balance all on its own and speaks volumes about the rest of your yard.

I shall list the plants I have in my showstopper garden and they are as follows:

Crocuses mixed colors, purple, orange, yellow, white and lavender
Hybred late blooming red Tulips,
Angelique, double pink peonie Tulips,also a late bloomers,
Normal red, yellow, and mixed red and yellow Tulips
Tiger tulip
Moss phlox, candy cane and dark pink
Foget me nots, blue
Primrose, sunshine susie
early blooming orcids, white and yellow
Hyacinths, blue
Violas, mixed colors, blue, purple, peach, yellow and white
King Alfred daffodils

Now in other gardens I have those same things, but also some space takers suchs as:

4 different colors of Peonies
Bleeding heart, D'eximia
The himalayan blue poppy, this is from the alpines of tibet
Convallaria majalis, lily of the valley
Saponaria, soapwort dark pink in color
Anemonies, coronia, mixed colors doubles
Rhodondendron
French lilacs
Miniature eastern redbud
Bearded Irises
Syberian irises
Stone crop sedum called sun
Chives

That about sums it up for my spring gardens.
I hope some of these plants I listed can be helpful in choosing plants if you are looking to create a spring garden, or the four season gardens as I have.
All of these plants look wonderful in the spring and even having a few of them in your garden will delight you.
Also tulips and daffodils are wonderful to have a cut flowers to not to mention leaves you with a sense of satisfaction that you yourself grew them.

That about wraps it up for today.
