Better than a lawn
I wish I had kept better records. Over the years I would order fall bulbs from FEDCO and get a nice flower display in the Spring. Some of these have died out over the years but one variety has actually spread outside it's planting bed. I suspect it may be a Scillia Siberica (Alba). It does have a wild hyacinth appearance. After experiencing the winter that wouldn't leave, these flowers were a most welcome sight.

Susan, the daffodils are long gone here. Even the azaleas (which have blossoms as big as dinner plates, almost), and the dogwoods are starting to go by. The irises are quite happy right now. The wisteria was amazing. The wisteria, dogwood, and azaleas all bloomed simultaneously.
John has a bluebird couple and a chickadee couple in his backyard birdhouses. He has geckos in an old mailbox that he converted to a birdhouse. He is now working on a bark birdhouse for his Carolina wrens. And of course the hummingbirds dive bomb our heads when we sit out on his deck.
Come on down!

Susan,
We have already gone beyond daffodils, dogwood, wisteria, and giant azaleas (sneezy stuff). The irises are now quite beautiful.
