Summer-Like Weather Summer Stitch

Well, it's time to get working on another in the series.

I've kitted up Cottage Garden Samplings "August's Poppy".

Bright bright colors on this one - it should be fun. 

The weather the past few days has seemed almost summer-like too. I've been outside without a coat or sweater or tights - just a summery polo dress.  The cats and I have been loving it.   

My primroses are at their peak now.  I bought several "Hose in Hose"
varieties from Log House plants about three years ago and they've grown and grown and grown. The deer nibble on them once in a while, but mostly leave them alone.

More primroses and pansies on the Front Porch.

Along with some small bulbs too.

The daffodils I planted in late October are blooming now. 

Can't go wrong with daffs!

Usually after one year I then plant out the bulbs in a flowerbed. As you can see, if it was a 'mix', I don't even bother to separate the bulbs.  I like the yellow daffodils with the blue muscari. 

Daffodils, muscari, and tulips!

The north side of the house is extremely shaded.  The hellebores are just now blooming in full force.

The plant that is amazing to me is this Bleeding Heart.

This is what it looked like on March 10th.

And here it is on March 23rd - all ready to burst into bloom.

It is in a dark corner and the foliage really lights up the area.
