I have a trilium at school that just takes me back to plant ecology hikes as an undergrad.<br /><br />now, that bird takes me back to Oregon, I think??? If you have a chance can you pass on the name.

You have so much starting to bloom now. Your violets are doing well and are lovely.<br />How old is your wisteria vine? I am researching because mine still has never bloomed after eleven years.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-38478685932991275932009-05-17T08:55:00.000-07:002009-05-17T08:55:00.000-07:00RainGardener,

They are gorgeous. <br />The columbine was advertised as 'blue' on the seed pack I purchased in Colorado, though it looks more purple to me. I'll be saving seeds, so if you'd like some, let me know (we can coordinate details via email or FB). <br />I'm off to spend the rest of the beautiful weekend gardening outside :) Bet you are too! Have a good one.Kit Aerie-elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548961699994971020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-53316485363678422902009-05-17T06:19:00.000-07:002009-05-17T06:19:00.000-07:00Hmmm guess I'm late - been outside in this gorgeou...Hmmm guess I'm late - been outside in this gorgeous weather. Your pictures are beautiful. Don't ya just love that Western Tanager? They come here during the summer too. That Columbine looks blue in your picture. Is it or is it purple - I've never seen a blue one. My purple monster Columbine is ready to open. It's 3 1/2 - around 4 feet tall I think.RainGardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071017261791897927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-18695709159537645052009-05-16T06:14:00.000-07:002009-05-16T06:14:00.000-07:00Beautiful hues in your garden.

I'm glad you stopped by today. Happy GBBD and a great weekend to you too!<br /><br />===========<br />Sue, the bird, a western tanager, is a new visitor to the suet feeder this week. We have a few of them who arrived together and if we can only keep the starlings away, we might see them more often. grr.<br />Happy weekend to you!<br /><br />==============<br />Grace, thanks so much for the kind words about the photos :)<br />I know what you mean about tempting fate by planting the tomatoes now...I actually took the plunge last weekend and put them in (big) pots along my south-facing wall. I covered them for protection during the crazy winds and rains, and they were fine and especially happy to feel the warmth of the sun today!! What sorts of tomatoes do you have? (I know, let's do a post on tomatoes!)<br />Happy gardening!!<br /><br />================<br />Tatyana, yes, of course I will collect seeds from this columbine for you! We can 'talk' details via email or FB (I'm in the SAGBUTT group)...<br />Have a great weekend!<br /><br />==============<br />Emily, hmmm, yes, interesting observation! Guess this is the purple-pink season in my yard. The red, yellow, white, and other colors follow :)<br />Happy gardening!<br /><br />============<br />Catherine, it is a gorgeous day and should be a great weekend for gardening--hooray. I bought plants for containers, so that will be my first order of business tomorrow. Then begins the tedious work of removing weeds and defining borders in various garden beds. It's all worth it though.<br />Have a great weekend!Kit Aerie-elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548961699994971020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425975968926101343.post-38604630364777981832009-05-15T17:05:00.000-07:002009-05-15T17:05:00.000-07:00Beautiful pictures!
