These are Peruvian Daffodils, just starting to bloom in my garden. Aren't they kinda wild looking?
They have a beautiful fragrance too, similar to a gardenia:











Here are pictures of my other flowers that are blooming right now:


Asiatic Lily 'Lollipop'...










A fringed Shasta Daisy 'Aglaia'...







Lupines...




Delphinium...











Malva Zebrina...














Lamium 'Purple Dragon'...







Spirea...





Calla Lilies...

Pretty.

Dad says it's, "too green around here. We need color." I'll show him your pictures and see what he thinks of those types. Are they pretty easy to care for? Also, I love Roses and lillies, but roses are such a pain in the to grow and care for. =(

Pretty flowers. How much time do you spend maintaining your gardens?

I just have a balcony with containers of flowers. I have to replace a couple plants because they didn't take.

You have a big BIG garden.

Things are looking very nice though. I have never seen that first flower though. It looks quite interesting.

Yep...they are pretty easy to care for! And they are perennials, so they die back in winter but return every year.

The ones that are not hardy to this area -meaning that our winter is too cold for certain plants- I grow them in pots and then store in my garage.

Thanks! I check up on them regularly, but since I have a drip/irrigation system installed, they get watered automatically at pre-set times every other day or I'll just program an irrigation zone to get watered more often if those specific plants require more water. So, once plants are in the ground, they are pretty maintenance free.

Those are low growing campanulas.

Beautiful photos! I'm not much of an outdoor gardener; I do better with house plants, but I am considering putting in some junipers or the like around my home.

I've seen it before cause ya showed me Great shots! Everything's blooming and coming out perfect! And that's just a sample of all the beauty of da Diabogarden

Schweet. Maybe you should charge admission to see your garden, since it appears to practically be a botanical sanctuary already.

Beautiful pictures Ingrid. Love your flower garden

Awww thanks, guys!

Here's another one. I put this gnome in charge of some petunias...

Be-oot-iful garden. I haven't seen the first flower before, but it is pretty.

A beautiful arrangement of floral depiction you
have there, Ingrid! Nice pictures! If I we-

ed to respresent myself, the Pe-
ruvian Daffodils would do ni-

Thank ya, Mia and Sir Soloist!

Here's the first dahlia of the season...
