The first of the poppies

These were planted last year. The first flowers on each (the pink and the orange which was supposed to be a red) are almost the size of sandwich plates. I'm hoping for some seed so their tribes will increase.



This is the first of the day lilies to bloom. It's rather short this year, I don't know why. It could be because I changed fertilizer part way through last summer. I've gone back to my usual and I hope that I'll get better results as the summer wears on.

Its hard to believe that this chive plant was a 99 cent herb just three years ago. It's come a long way since then.
