On Tuesday when I picked up Emma at the groomer (Pooch Paws in Rockland), she was sporting this green, dazzling bow, a perfect match for her sparkling personality. I will tuck the bow away for St. Patrick's day.
If you are new to my blog or haven't read about these daffodils, please read my post Full Circle from 2011. It's an amazing story and all the more so because it really happened. I guarantee you will enjoy it. These daffodils are descendants of those very same bulbs. I intend to divide them later in the summer, so if you would like some, please let me know.
The grape hyacinths have also come on strong this year.
The plant in the front is a money/lunaria plant. It's a biennial which is grown for its flat, round silvery seed pods which make a lovely dried arrangement. I have had money plants scattered throughout my large garden for as long as I can remember.
Aren't they pretty with these little yellow flowers?
I don't even have to plant these lovely, yellow flowers; they just come up every spring. You have to admit that they are quite pretty when they first appear.
By the way, did you know that the name for this plant "dandelion" derives from the French, "dent de lion . . . teeth of the lion? That's your fun fact for the day.
Have a wonderful spring weekend!
