» jerrib - Hi Carol

I didn't realize it had been so long since I stopped to say hello.

I'm glad to see your spring is finally arriving. And I'm smiling when I hear you talking about too many things to plant. It reminds me of your act of kindness; it will be interesting to see what flowers show in your neighbor's yard!

I do love the photos.

Thanks for stopping by to wish me a Happy Easter. You, too, have a great one.

Hi Jerri, I was peeking at the neighbor's yard yesterday - a couple of tiny crocuses were blooming but the main surprise is yet to come. I don't think she realizes that those crocuses weren't already there - but when the rest flowers she'll know she never planted those daffs and hyacinths!

Come to think of it - for her that's one more of those mysteries of spring.

Speaking of which, I ran across a few of those myself today - I'll have to take the camera out tomorrow and see if anyone can figure them out.

» jerrib - I bet your neighbor really

will be surprised when she figures it out.

Could your mystery plant be a scabiosa albina? I bought one today that looks like this but it is a shade of purple.

I'm betting right now that she's trying to remember what she planted that was yellow and small - because all she has flowering now are little snow crocuses. When the tulips, hyacinths and daffodils start in she'll know something is up. And that's when I have to tell her to pay it forward and do something for someone else just because.

If it's nice again tomorrow I'll go over and help her to cut back the perennials.

Jojo recogniced my mystery plant - a Petasites. This must be the first year it was old enough to flower.
