I have wedding bells planted along the sidewalk leading up to my front steps in the front of our house. They are now blooming and looking nice. I wasn't sure what they were until they bloomed since we just moved here last fall. The blooms are white and shaped like bells, hence the name.
The flowers have been a nice surprise. So far I know I have spider lilies too. Does anyone else have wedding bells in their yard? And are they blooming now?

We had a beautiful weekend in the 40's and today it got to 55, tomorrow it is suppose to be a bit warmer yet, did some walking which helps with the depression.

we had a beautiful weekend in the upper 40's, today it was 55, tomorrow is suppose to be maybe a bit warmer. We'll take it. Did a bit of walking which helps with the depression.

Ha Ha The only thing thing that could possibly bloom here is snowballs. We still have a foot of snow in my yard and it'sw snowing right now. AGAIN. Our winters here are brutal.

Ewww! I am so ready for spring here. We had lows in the 20's just last week. This week our highs are going to the 80's. Looks like a jump right into summer! I forgot to attach a photograph earlier of the wedding bells. Doing that now! Have a great evening!

I cannot tell from the picture, are they the same as lily of the valley? Are they fragrant? I do not have anything blooming that I know of. Usually I will have creeping phlox at this time. Mom had spider lilies and surprise lilies, also known as naked ladies. I have a peach tree blooming.

The flower does look similar but the leaves don't look the same. I had to go look up lily of the valley :) Now I'm checking out the surprise lilies :) Oh wow, those are beautiful. I wouldn't mind some of them popping up here as well. I have spider lilies in the yard also and have seen a couple amarillos here and there but they haven't bloomed yet. I have to remember to flag them or hubby will cut them all down. Geesh, men!

I don't believe I have anything that looks like that in my yard, but then again I'm way far north of you so those flowers may not grow here. Currently we have nothing growing in our yard, it is still too cold. The good news about that is that I don't have to go out there and start taking care of my flowers, the bad news is that it's cold! Come on Sunny weather, where are you???

I'm just hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have any more freezes! I have potted a few flower bulbs and also some bell peppers from seed and green onions, but decided to keep them all indoors for now until sometime in April. I don't trust the weather here. It will be 80 one day and 40 the next. As long as we don't dip back into the 30's at night I'll be happy!

Well in MI you can never really trust the weather, that's why my mom started potting flowers in her backyard instead of planting. Now if there is a storm brewing, we can just pull those pots in the garage. If it's really cold, she can put the plants around the house. Either way, they last longer than they do outside.
