Hmm...I think my absolute favorite would have to be my blue-eyed grass
Sisyrinchium montanum, especially when the buds are just about to open, and
they really do remind me of a little blue eye, peaking out from between the
blade-like leaves. I think I especially like them because very few people
notice them when they visit my garden...they are like my own little secret.

....of course, this time of year, the first plants that popped into my head
when I read your question were daffodils and crocuses. I'm just so sick of
the cold and snow I'd give about anything to see them poking up out ground!

Hi all gardening buds (pun intended, lol)

Of all the things you have growing in your garden(s) which could you not
live without? I know it's a toughie, but pick one . . .

Mine would probably be the purple coneflower . . . or sunflowers, wait, no
it's the sweet peas, ack no change that it's the columbine . . .arrrgghhh,
even I can't do it!! If I lived where I could grow them, it would be the
bird of paradise plant that I saw everywhere in San Diego a couple years
ago.
