Heuchera Coral Bells Amethyst Mist


My first Heuchera (Coral Bells) "Amethyst Mist"
since moving here.
 I didn't buy any last year
 because my garden beds were not
established.  I
previously had "Caramel" at my old house and just
loved it. I thought I would try purple this time.


First iris bud of the season.
I moved the iris all over they place last season
and I'm not sure which one this is.
I guess it will be a surprise.
White By The Gate camellia is in
bloom.
Lupine that I started from seed in the
milk jugs. I just transplanted it to the shade
garden. 
In the foreground are snapdragons that I
started from seed last spring and they came back
this spring. Also notice the "Dwarf Firehouse" nandina. They
never cease to amaze me with their
color.

I put the White Lightin' rose in
the middle of  daylily bed.

I THINK SPRING MIGHT BE AROUND THE CORNER!

We are having another "snow day" today. Roads are icy and snowy. It was a warmer day yesterday, so I got out and visited my local nursery and bought a few things to be planted later in the week. It is suppose to reach 50-60's by Saturday. I bought a Quince,  two Forsythia, more Elaeagnus, three "White By The Gate" Japonica Camellia, and two "Kanjiro Camellia" Lots of work to do. My fence/gate estimate came in too high, so I now have to start thinking of an alternative.
