    Marlingardener, that's very nice! Does it bear passionfruit?

    Looking good @Logan ...Gosh so more advance than ours. Our soil is so very dry and deeply cracked despite trying to keep up with watering, alot of plants this year are delayed.
    I get daily photo reminders on my phone of what was is bloom the same day in past years and our Lupins are normally in bloom now too......except for this extremely dry Spring. Oh well no doubt they'll get there eventually. :):fingerscrossed:

    Beautiful blooms. @Logan,luv lupines a fav. They set seed and bloom for the next season. @Oreti you garden is always full of a beautiful variety of spring blooms@Anniekay luv the purple leaf plant I haven’t seen in ages and forgot what it is?
    They are house plants in the PNW. I had one for years and their blooms are miniscule.

    It's Tradescantia purple heart. Has small pink flowers. Here it will die back in winter, it even took the ice storm with 2" of snow we got last year and grew right back come spring.

    I heard that that can happen because the cow parsley reseeds a lot.

    I know you'll like the name of the big pale yellow one with the maroon center. It's "Wild Horses" !! :D
