You didn't have to stop you know ;-) I could never get tired of the abundance of bloom in your garden. I'm looking forward to more already.<br />Love all the tulips scattered around the garden in a whole array of colours. And I see you have the Geranium Phaeum I have in the garden as well. Love that dark purple colour of the flowers that also comes back in the leaves of this plant. Love the deep red Primroses as well. Must be tiny red dots in the border. I love that much more than big red blobs, just as I love the tiny orange dots of Geum in my own garden.

There were always winter sacrifices though- I would lose all my hens and chicks and anything else that was tender to the standard winter pattern of freeze and then thaw. Each spring I had to replace whatever I lost.<br />This past winter I stored the planted birdbath tops in my cold frame and everything came through winter beautifully. You could probably accomplish the same thing if you stored them somewhere warm and dry like a garage.<br />To plant up a birdbath I always use a generous layer of pea gravel for drainage. Then I mound soil on top of the fine gravel.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-16213711473753849422013-05-23T05:24:26.904-07:002013-05-23T05:24:26.904-07:00Nothing beats the fresh new foliage and flowers of...Nothing beats the fresh new foliage and flowers of spring.

The saxifrage is a plant I will need to add to our collection here, so pretty. Our tulips were done much too quickly this year too, and the daffodils didn't linger long even with the cold spring.
