And it looks like the greenery is beginning to flourish, even though you do not yet have many flowers.It's actually her stock name "Rue de Charonne"... I'll keep the stock names if they sound like nice names. I do have a little cluster of dandelions right against the foundation on the southeast corner... wheeee. These are chionodoxa, which I planted a few seasons ago. They haven't multiplied as I hoped they would, but things have a tough time growing well here.
Purple flowers were the first to emerge here, as well! I believe the ones here are a type of iris, different than the flowers in your photo.

We don’t really get that down here.Um yeah... In Hawaii the first time, I swore I'd never admit missing a change of seasons... I think I could get used to that.

This week Miss Scarlett gets the shot because my amaryllis is blooming again and she's just the right colour to match it.
