it looked better before the hailstorm...
no one guessed what it is...yet...
it is on this plant, now leafed-out & blooming...
[# 8 on the first quiz...]
one more clue...
here are the blooms... got it now ?
this was #1... any guesses ?
[people like it's namesake fried, with ketchup...]
these weren't out enough to be on the first quiz...
everyone should know these...
this was #3 & has survived the hail...
[clue : in the song, they're "pink"...]
also much more leafed-out... #4...
[clue: I didn't get them sprayed & they have "leaf curl"...]
these won't really be out until around Easter...
[#5...a Southern favorite...]
also #5, & the blooms are white...
this "furry pawed" plant comes in many colors...
it was #6, and it's marsupial namesake can be "pugilistic"...
#7 has red leaves year round...
I have a number of different varieties...
I'm really surprised that no one got #9...
since it looks exactly like itself...
from the first unfolded "wee" leaf...
[extremely subtle clue...]
this was # 10...this exact cluster...
they eventually have blooms like these...
can you name this variety ?
[I ONLY like pink on roses...& other flowers...]
this one grows next to the lilac...
there can be an upside to NOT pruning your roses...
although I must admit to having cut them back in October...
& this is my reward...
#12 is out farther now...
this was #13, this cluster...
this one is farther along...
this one is "out"...any guesses ?
this was NOT on the first quiz...
it's my biggest plant...
and getting ready to bloom...
and scatter those awful dangle-y things all over...
I'll be sweeping them up for months...
this wasn't on the first quiz either...
it's blooming for only the third year...
it has such a lovely shape...
someday it'll be a mass of blossoms each spring...
I hope you enjoyed the spring garden quiz, 1.1...
leave your guesses in the comments...
and happy gardening !
