Purple, Ginny!

I knew immediately they were columbine!! They have such a beautiful shape and color. I am growing some this year. Your banner makes me want to grow them even more, Zoia!

What a beautiful banner!

Zoia the color didn't get missed

The royal purple & shape of the blooms are sooooooooo pretty, Zoia!
Are those pink azaleas or rhododendrons in back?
Classic back yard.

Rhododendron! I have many old ones, all different colors. A wonderful show in late May/ early June. Thank you! I am also a big fan of my yard. I was lucky to inherit it from a long line of gardeners and I have certainly put in my own time over the past 30 years.

Thanks for sharing your piece of heaven with us.
Do you have a greenhouse & gardening shed?
Did you get all those new daylilies planted yet?
They will be spectacular.

Nope, no greenhouse or gardening shed. I just do it onsite. Especially as everything just goes straight into the ground, no pots involved, unless they came from the Nursery. It's too early for Daylilies in Boston! I'm expecting the orders to start coming in April and May. I'm super excited, of course, for the season! Right now I'm cleaning leaf blankets off the various beds…

Beautiful! I love the deep purple color!

I forgot how cold Boston is this time of year.
But sounds like you are having fun.

I definitely love your purples Zoia
