Here are some pictures of the pansies and a few other things.
small terrace bed in front yard. I put pansies in with the daffodils.
Under the mulberry tree. I filled in with pansies between daffodils and grape hyacinth. I intend to put dianthus in with the pansies when they get them in the store.
Another view of same
I bought this bowl in 1989. It has had pansies in it every spring since then.
Two pictures of the grape hyacinth in the side yard. They are planted with tulips which have buds but not flowers.
Bleeding hearts that I paid a dollar each for at the dollar store last spring. I wasn't sure they would come back this year.
And finally, every time I have the camera out someone has to have their picture taken.

Everything looks good, especially that strange-looking flower in the last photo.  And I've learned that the muscari are called grape hyacinth. We've got loads of those, they propagate like crazy.

What a lovely yard you have, Dooley. I love the layout of your flower bed. The fruits of your labor are really revealed . . . and everything really looks nice.

Splendid arrangements Dooley, isn't it amazing that you can pay so little for a plant but get so much pleasure from them over the years.

I must be having a slow day as I was furiously looking to see what the plant was and then 5 seconds later it hit me

I really don't think you would want a Canine Chance plant. She is a sweety but so spoiled. She is smart so if you really want her to do something she does it but like little kids she grumbles the whole time. dooley
