It's Bloomin' Tuesday!

 Welcome!
Spring has really sprung early in Western New York!  We've had sun and temps in the 70's every day for over a week.  Only problem with that is we need rain.  I tried to weed Sunday and it was impossible.  There was no way all the roots came out. On the bright side, we have lots of bloomin' goin' on!
 I love the Fritilary Lily.  The checkered is my favorite.  They lasted less than a week.
 
 The Trillium are bloomin' in the shade garden.  I planted more last year but no blooms on them .
 Soft purple Creeping Phlox are well started.
 Grape Hyacinth and orange tulips, about the only ones the deer didn't eat. I love the color combo.
 Lots of Forget-Me-Nots.  This is the area the girls plant so I'll just pull these out when they quit blooming. 
The bougainvillea is doing well.  We had a late frost last year so we missed a lot of our spring blooms.
I'm anxious to see what you have bloomin'.  Just add your name and permalink to Mr Linky to join the spring tour.

I've never seen a Fritilary Lily before. It's very pretty, I bet even more so in person. Thanks for hosting!

Your checkered Fritillary Lily is so unique. I've never seen one. Thanks for hosting.

The deer did a real number on my tulips too, except the species tulips which happen to be orange. Are your orange tulips species?? Could there be a pattern here!

Looking good Jean. So far I haven't been bothered by the deer however they are there. I've seen their tracks in the veggie garden but they haven't messed with anything. Hope you have a great weekend.
