What's in Bloom?

Well I'm glad you asked :P 
I took a turn around the garden the other day and took pictures of everything that is in bloom right now.  My garden from last year is starting to fill in very nicely.  There are still a couple more things I would like to get for it but I'm really happy with how it is looking.
This dainty little flower is called Aubrieta.  It's actually an evergreen plant and stayed green all winter!
Behind the pansies in this picture:
I have two bleeding heart bushes in front of my windows.
Some daisies:
I'm a big fan of coreopsis... I have a couple different varieties.  I can't recall which one this is but I like it :)
Iberis, these hardly bloomed at all last year, this year they are taking off!  I also have some purple/pink Iberis but they are not quite in bloom yet.
and the columbine:
I got myself some hanging baskets the other day.  The nice Mennonite lady told me these baskets would do well in full sun so I'm hoping I can keep them alive all summer.
(Notice my clematis vine creeping up the railing?)
my rose bushes are loaded with buds right now.  I think they'll start blooming within the next couple weeks.
This plant was given to Chase by our Classical Conversations director as a gift for completing the program this year.  Begonia I believe.  I planted it out there for him :)
I also got some Gerbera Daisies to plant the other day.  I just love Gerbera Daisies. They are so cheerful and colorful.
I planted some around our shed
and some behind the garage.

very nice...I got to see your flowers in person yesterday when I stopped by. Looking at your gardens was almost as good as seeing you and the kids - ha, ha.
