You have a very nice garden! I like the geraniums, I have several different colors of them in my garden, they are blooming as well. Love the Heuchera too, they have such graceful spikes! I have the cultivar with purple leaves and pink flowers. It' strange to see your pond with no snow. In the winter when you would post 'monday morning blooms' of the orchids, we could always see the snow covered pond in the background!

I think we need to change your name to Mr Greenthumbs! The flowers look so sweet and fresh and happy!

Also, the 'pond' is gorgeous! Like Camille said, I'm used to seeing snow on it. Do you keep Koi or other fish in it? I'm a farm girl and our ponds cover 1/2 to 1 acre and full of catfish and bass. But they aren't nearly as pretty as yours!

Oh yeah, I wanted to comment on your picture of tomato's in bloom. I would have never even thought of that! But, they are beautiful!!! Mine are late and not blooming quite yet. I'll look at them different this year, thanks to you.

Tomato's in bloom......I like that!!!

Thanks so much for the tour.

Lovely garden the Clematis is beautiful .
Always intrigues me how you folks in the States have wood fences they would not last too long here as the wind would destroy them pdq so we have to use concrete slabs or brick for our walls
