God walked with man in Eden's shade,
Christ sought a garden when He prayed.

Geez...... those are gorgeous! Are those Montana Aureomarginatas? I planted my first one last fall and sure enough, it's the first one up this spring along with Venetian Blue and Wolverine. Sagae is also peeking through already. Does Sagae usually come up early, too?

We got some snow up around Kansas City, too, but I covered up my few emerging hostas since it dipped below 32. Here are a few pics for you northern gardeners :-) Spring IS just around the corner....

:eek:
but the pic is very beautiful with the snow.
Can't wait to see real green, here only the first spring flowers are blooming, not even the weed is started.
Hope you will both have some warmer weather
Thanks both of you for sharing the first signs of spring :D

I was amazed to see hosta eyes popping up every where this last Sunday! We had some nice weather last week and then it all fell apart and the nights got so cold! :( Many of the plants are even on the north side of the house where they are the last ones to come up. Not sure what that's all about, but it kept me busy keeping them covered that last 3 nights or so. Wow.. Also seeing the delphinium coming up. But I do believe I've lost my Autumn Moon Maple. :cry: And it was gorgeous last year. sigh
