Garden shots

I'm always amazed when I can manage to keep plants alive. I try to go with the hearty ones, but since I know very little about plants, I don't always know which are the hearty ones.

Here's what I've got today.

Some azaleas. Even though the deer had many of the leaves as appetizers over the winter, they are coming back and are even flowering.

Some columbines. These are the ones I planted from seed last year. They didn't flower last year, so I didn't remember what color they were.

These are from my Mom's garden.

Even weeds can be pretty if you get up close.
