Yaaayyy! Portulaca sprouted (well, not the pot I planted yesterday)! Have to look with one eye, though…tiny seedlings!

Thunbergia (sp?)…anyway, black-eyed susan vine is starting to sprout, too, though I saw only two.

Hostas out front coming along nicely! Not a huge hosta fan, but they’re there and they’re pretty.

I’m pretty sure this is Royal Purple Smoke Tree. Protip: don’t GIS “smoke tree buds” without adding “royal purple” and excluding certain keywords or you will not find photos of ornamental shrubs!

I’ve got this one down to either Viburnum or hydrangea…maybe.

No clue what the other two are yet. One has leaves like lilac and flower buds like lavender.

The other has…green leaves. Search that!

Oh, and C. identified one type of seedlings. I showed her a picture, and she said it looks exactly like basil. I didn’t plant basil, but basil is in the mint family, and I did plant bee balm! I GIS’d “monarda seedlings”, and those are my guys! I stuck the rest of them in the flowerbed yesterday,  BTW. Tired of seeing the packets just sitting on the table. These ones are bee balm:
