New Babies

I made it to the Leach Botanical Garden plant sale for the second year in a row.  So fun!

I'm sorry to say, I've yet to visit the actual garden. It's sort of pathetic, considering it's minutes away.  (She says as she bows her head in shame.)  A local blog that I read just recently did a post about it and the pictures are gorgeous. It's the epitome of Oregon in spring.  Green, green, and more green.  You can check it out here:  Green Morning

My neighbor's actually got married there.  Many moons ago. They're in their late 60's.

Anywho, here are the new babies I brought home with me.

So up first, I couldn't leave without this cute little narcissus.

His name is 'Hawera'.

This was new to me.

I love the color of the leaves.

Mukdenia 'Crimson Fans'.
Word on the street is, the fall color is super fantastic.

I'm so in love with the two Lewisia I bought at the sale last year, that I had to buy two more.

I had a Pasque Flower years ago at a rental.

I decided I needed one again.

Pulsatilla vulgars.

This was another new to me plant.
Spring Pea, Lathyrus vernus.

The next one is to the left of the sweet pea.  You can see the photo tag sticking out of it.

Anemonopsis macrophylla.

I'm pretty excited to see this one bloom.

I've wanted one of these forever.

My mom got it for me as an Easter present.

She got my sister one, too.

Allium Cristophii or Star Of Persia.

Again, never heard of this before, but had to have it.

Uvularia grandiflora, aka, Large Flower Bellwort.

This little guy didn't have name, but he was too cute not to come home with me.

The rain let up enough the other morning for me to plant everything.

Here's everyone in their new homes, with my helper.

These last two, I didn't get at the sale, but they're still new babies.
My aunt gave me this little maple for Easter.
Isn't he cute?!

And this clematis jumped in my cart at the grocery store garden center.

It's called 'Early Sensation'.

I stuck him in a pot by the garage.

I'm hoping that's a big enough hint for The Dad to build me the trellis over the garage door that I've wanted for yeeeeaaaaars.

I hadn't decided on a home for my Allium when I was out taking pictures, but I did get him in the ground this morning.  And the bud was starting to open!
And....guess what I spotted poking up out of the ground yesterday?
My salvia patens.
What?!?!
Of all the things to make it through such a cold winter.
So exciting.
Off to accomplish something productive....

Shameless plug alert:  

Just a little reminder that you can purchase my floral photographs in my Etsy shop.

If you see one in a post that isn't in the shop, shoot me an email and I'll list it for ya.
