I was really glad to make this one.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, we had trout lillies at our old place just north of B'ham, but none here. I want to plant some if and when I ever make my wildflower garden.<BR/><BR/>Tom, the sun was out at times so I really didn't get shots of all the great stuff they had. Yeah Bloodroot is one of my faves too.<BR/><BR/>Pablo, thanks, I can always count on you for an ego boost! :)<BR/><BR/>Troy, yeah it's strange, the ones at our house - south of these pics - were a bit slower to bloom. I had a couple of pics of that statue and had a hard time deciding which one I liked best!<BR/><BR/>KF, the best part was that it was a road trip in which I wasn't forced to ask for a bathroom break every other minute (like I usually do), LOL.<BR/><BR/>Bill, sadly it produces only paper coins, which are about as valuable as wooden nickels. ;)<BR/><BR/>Marilyn, they are supposed to be native here in my county, but I've yet to find any in the wild.<BR/><BR/>Anne, would you believe I'm wearing shorts as I type this? :) But the bugs are out already too.<BR/><BR/>FC, yeah I know! They had a white variety too, that they'd discovered in the woods near their house. But it was all caged up so no good pics of that one.<BR/><BR/>Phillip, I've heard of it but haven't been. I'm checking soon!<BR/><BR/>Pamela, it's strange to look on other people's blogs and see snow all over the ground. It's full spring here now.<BR/><BR/>CM, that whole garden was great! I have more pics that I hope to get up soon.<BR/><BR/>Cathy, I'm so glad you liked them! I hope spring shows up soon there.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Kerri! I need to go on more of these tours... they are more fun than I'd thought they'd be.Ruralityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.com
