Gavota tulip I get more people stopping to ask about these than any other tulip.	Salome daffodil I planted these about 8 years ago and they only bloomed these last two years!
Sweetheart tulips I just LOVE these!!	White Emperor tulips with Sunrise tulips in the background
Sunrise peony tulips These have definitely multiplied.	Sunrise peony tulips Notice the red edging.
Supposed to be Margarita peony tulip. Not. They are still pretty though. I think they might be Passionale.	Thalia daffodils These are my favorite daffodils.
Fringed Elegance fringed tulip New to the garden this year. I really like them. These are a little floppy most likely because I just transplanted them from the pots I was growing them in.	Claudia lily tulip

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - April 2010

A long forgotten Greigii tulip. Last bloomed in 1998! Perhaps 'Compostella'?	Raspberry Splash pulmonaria
Rembrandt tulips	Calypso greigii tulips
Azureum grape hyacinth	Album grape hyacinth
Orange Toronto greigii tulip	White Emperor tulip really enjoying the sun! These have been multiplying well.
Orange Emperor tulips - they're not as big as that first spring, but they still bloom every year	hyancinth with Thalia daffodils in the background. I love the Thalias. They are multiflower daffodils that are reliable and multiply!
Sweetheart tulips I lost a bunch since their first bloom, but the ones that survived are beautiful.	Sunrise tulips (they bloomed later in the day but I didn't have time to get a picture). These have been multiplying surprisingly well.

For those that don't know about Garden Blogger Bloom Day:
It was started by Carol at May Dreams Garden to celebrate the idea that we could have blooms in our garden all year round. It chronicles what is blooming in your garden on the 15th of every month. If you would like to join in the fun, create your post of blooms on the 15th and sign in at May Dreams Garden. Then go see what everyone else has blooming!

More Stuff That Made It, and a Wee Treat

native Pasque flowers	native hepatica
White Emperor tulips	Pickwick giant crocuses
daffodil	Woodstock hyacinth
native bloodroot	tulip (I'm pretty sure these are Calypso)
wee Tete-a-tete daffodils I accidentally tricked them into being tiny by keeping them in a small pot for an entire year. I bought them as potted plants last year in the spring and just never got around to planting them. My husband planted these in the ground today still in the pot to see if they would remain small for him.

I was wrong.
