The main color in this post is green, so I'm starting with a photo of colorful Crocuses from last week. The little beauties are just about done now, so it's on to the next phase—celebrating the plants that need warmth.
In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to include an update on the seedlings I started in the sunroom in March. Our last frost date is in early May, so I'll soon need to harden these babies off before planting.
First we have the mixed Dahlias. They're doing well; I'm so thrilled!
The California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica) are happy and dancing.
The three Milkweed species (Asclepias spp.) took a bit longer to emerge, but they're making progress now.
Oh, and 'The Watchman' Hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) look healthy, too.
'Zowie' and 'State Fair Mix' Zinnias (Z. elegans) are always reliable.

Finally, I'm celebrating the Calla Lilies (Zantedeschia spp.) poking through the soil! Now the race is on to fast, colorful blooms.
That's my "Six" for this week, with extra flowers at the start. Thanks to Jim at Garden Ruminations for hosting "Six on Saturday"!
