I Love Yellow!!!

Regular old daffodil
I really do love daffodils.  And anything else yellow in the early spring!  Every year in January I start looking forward to spring.  New flowers and new leaves....every thing is so pretty and fresh.  Yellow is such a happy color.  It really helps bring up my mood during the cloudy, gray days right before spring starts.  I was really excited to start seeing the daffodils we planted last fall pop up.  Now that they started to bloom the yard is looking more like home.  I am already looking forward to planting more in other parts of the yard.  Also, I am interested to see how quickly the ones that are planted will spread out! 
Grape Hyacinth

Yellow violas
  I really like yellow and purple or blue together.  I planted some grape hyacinth and Tete a tete daffodils together to achieve this color scheme.  Tete a tete is a dwarf form of daffodil only grows about 6-8" tall.  In order to get a naturalized effect I scattered the bulbs on the ground and planted them where they landed.   They are coming up and blooming together so nicely.  My plan worked...Mahahahhahhahaha.


Tete a tete and Grape hyacinth
Another early spring bloomer is the Lenten Rose.  Here is the only one that decided to bloom this year.  I planted 5 and only this one bloomed.  Well this one and one other that never made it into the ground.  I am kinda disappointed with the others but they seemed weak when I planted them so I guess I am happy they even made it this long.  jerks...(muttered under my breath)  

Now I am just sitting back and waiting to see what comes up and blooms next!!
