Snow is finally gone!

 

 Here is what is coming up in my flower beds. 

Autumn Joy Sedum.

Autumn Joy sedum is an easy to grow perennial for zones 3-9. It is a drought tolerant plant that features attractive foliage and a large rose-colored flower head. To learn more about Autumn Joy sedum click here.

Resurrection Lily, Surprise Lily or Naked Lady Lily

Late summer-blooming bulb of the Amaryllis family. Strap-like grayish-green leaves (to 12” long and 1” wide) in spring. Leaves die back in summer. Thick naked flower scapes rise to 2’ tall in late summer, each bearing 4-7 funnel-shaped, rose-pink tinged with lilac flowers that are quite fragrant.

Hen and Chicks

Hens and chicks plants are mat-forming succulents that produce clusters of rosettes. The parent rosettes are the "hens," and the smaller rosettes that spring from them are the "chicks" or "chickens." This low-growing (4") perennial will quickly spread to 2' or more in width. Although grown for its foliage, hens and chicks do flower. The "hens" will die after flowering, but by that time they will have produced numerous "chicks" or "chickens" to take their place.

I think I am going to have a problem with the rabbits this year.  This guy let me get 2 feet from him before he moved.  I knows where he sleeps, but I just can't hurt him.  They drive me crazy, when they eat my flowers.  And they eat a lot!

I am joining Tootie for the first time this spring.  Please click here to see what ours have growing at Flaunt Your Flowers and Fertilizer Friday.

Rabbits

I'm not a big fan of rabbits either. I know that that they are cute and all, but they do a number to my flowerbeds. I just have too many. They love to eat my beautiful flowers, just when they start to look nice.

...but Easter is coming and I just finished a wool table runner. I just love this designer and I have done a few of her beautiful designs. This design is from Brandywine Designs. It is from the book "Bless the Beasts and the Children" and the pattern is called Rabbit Chase Penny Runner. You can check out more of her patterns here.
