Yellow Roses and Martha Washington Geraniums?  They are very pretty.  We are just getting hyacinths and daffodils here.  

 

It will be a while before we can plant annuals or see roses.  Spring is slow in coming around here.  I still have the heat on at my house.

Hi @Carmie

The rose is "Gold Medal," a grandiflora.  It's quite tall now.  

And the geraniums are mostly ordinary ones (pelargonium).  I don't even know what the pink ones are called.  I took a cutting from a plant outside my bank.  (I asked them if I could since theirs was so pretty.)  It seems to like my yard.

 

I lost the label to the red-orange ones.  I know they are a bit out of the ordinary.  Usually I'm very careful with labels.  Darn.

 

Years ago I used to have the Martha Washingtons since they are exceptionally attractive, but they didn't seem to like my yard as well as these others.

 

I think you are lucky to be able to have enough cold for hyacinths and other bulbs.  I bet they flourish where you are.

 

ETA:  I forgot I had only posted the orange/red ones on another thread.    Here they are.

@GingerPeach, just lovely.  We don’t even have daffodils up yet.  I am in cleanup mode.  Sore from using all those muscles that never get used in winter.  Can’t wait to see some color.  Your photos brighten my day!  LM

Right back at you, @Lilysmom  Your photos brighten my day whenever you post yours.  I'm so glad gardens and garden photos make us happy.

Re: A bit of garden color today

so pretty @GingerPeach   Pink & yellow are my favorite colors in the garden.

Your red plant is pretty also.

Anything that grows for me gets me excited. Smiley Happy
