When I did the collage of our blooming fruit trees I forgot to include our Navel Orange Tree. 
Abutilon 
Hey, Garden Fairies do ya'll know how this Dahlia got here? I seriously do not have a clue. I planted Dahlia seeds in peat pots and then planted the pots. This one is NOT in a pot. 
She has no idea how close she came to getting yanked out of the soil when she was much smaller. 
Ranunculus 
And the roses are doing quite nicely after the pruning and sprinkling of coffee grounds. 
I got the greenhouse all cleaned up yesterday and planted more seeds--different types of Zinnias, Cosmos, Cucumber, Watermelon, Hibiscus, Nicotiana, Lavatera.....hopefully I will be planting mid season for late season color...do you stagger your plantings or do them all at once?

"Today I am Thankful that I live in long growing season zone." That is nice and I wish I did more and more. However, there is something nice about a sleeping garden covered in snow.
What a lucky dahlia that it was given a chance to show off!
You're lucky to have such a long growing season. I guess ours isn't too bad on a good year but this year it's a rainy growing season and everything is behind. Yours looks great.
Beautiful red flowers. You have a red post today whereas I have a pink post. :)
I love that fairy planted dahlia :) I just can't believe you have so much blooming in April. Everything is so gorgeous, ranunculus are one of my favorite blossoms with their delicate layers of petals, I wish they would grow here.
beautiful Darla...my Loofah goards are coming up..and so are the flowers...thank you for the seeds...
More seeds starting? You are really getting good use out of that greenhouse. I usually start seeds in July for fall veggies but haven't really sown fall flower seeds. Love the dahlia. Mine didn't make it through the end of summer last year. I think it's too humid here.
Gorgeous dahlia Darla - so glad you didn't pull up that baby. I have to try ranuculas again in my gardens. I love those delicate flowers. Last year when I did seeds I staggered with them. This year haven't done any seeds other than what I threw into the garden that we are currently identifying. I am plannin on getting me a greenhouse for next year. I'll see you in the next few weeks. I'll send you an email soon.
Poor Ms. Doris and her garden. It will pop back though and yes, grateful no one was harmed in this storm. Same one can through here and woke us up at 3 in the am. What a scary storm. Wal-Mart lost power for 5 hours and even with generator, they lost some perishables. We lost power for an hour or so and were lucky with loosing no trees. Trees down all around the county and state…
Don’t ya have a love hate relationship with mystery’s in the garden. You may never know the answer to how the flower got there. I vote a nice bird placing it there…
Oh, Darla, you have a magic green thumb ... they are lovely!
I bought some new types of florals for my gardens, so anxious for the weather to be conducive to planting.
Have a beautiful weekend ~

I'm thinking the mystery dahlia involves 4 legs, brownish/grey fur, beady eyes, and a long bushy tail....
A squirrel probably dug one of the tubers up and moved it there. You know they can manage to find bulbs and tubers anywhere!!
Last years seed was transplanted by the wind most likely...and the big Guy in the Sky. Nice surprise tho.
Love stopping in for a peek at the colors in your gardens.

I'm so glad Miss Dahlia didn't get pulled out by her roots. She's very pretty.
I've always got something growing from spring to winter. And even sometimes in winter I'm experimenting with something or other.
The flora at your cottage is simply beautiful. I'm glad the dahlia didn't get yanked when it first showed up.
Did most of Ms. Doris' plants survive the storm? I'm hoping they did bounce back after the limbs were removed.
Well Miss Darla just look at all your pretty blooms and that Abutilon is stunning.. I'm off to see what I might have blooming even though I know I ain't got much going on just yet. I need to get my butt outside and get busy!
Loved seeing all your lovely flowers, seems the storm brought enough rain to make them happy for awhile...I hope Ms Doris is making some headway in her garden too.
I stagger planting my seedlings too, though mine if more because of a time issue than planned lol.
Blessings Kelsie
Beautiful Red flowers...I want to try ranuculas...do you think they would grow this far South. I just love them!
You have never showm us orange's before and when do the grapefruit bloom?
Darla, love the red dahlia, what a beauty. We don't have your wonderfully long growing season, so no, we don't stagger our plantings. I would if I could, though. Those ranunculus (ranunculi?) are so beautiful.
Hi Darla, I'm proud of you and the roses. Yours are doing GREAT... Can't wait til we get some blooms....It's probably be another month or more for us...
Your garden always looks great. That is one special Dahlia....ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Ooh, goodie! The angel is too cute! Love your flowers. That abutilon is to die for and the dahlia is my favorite variety. I love the baby oranges too. You never see those up in my neck of the woods.
Really this is nice and beautiful garden because in garden different type flower and creative garden we can know that different type flower in garden. When we will use and connect in blogger then we can find different flower in garden.
