Took this in my backyard a few years ago, sprayed it with a water bottle for that droplet effect.

bought these at the grocery store when I lived in Utah 5 years ago, cut them, and arranged them in the snow. I have framed this before.

I've bought tons of stuff from there. They guarantee everything for life. If you make a large purchase, you won't get it all at once.
They'll send each plant at the proper time to plant in your geographic zone.
Everyone's seen a red columbine:
Ever see a blue one?

Most unsuccessful indoor gardeners "love" their flowers to death. Most outdoor gardeners make very simple mistakes. The main ones? No drainage, or planted too deep or too shallow.
Iris rhizomes like to be about 2 1/2" under the ground. Too deep and they'll have really big foliage and either no blooms, or very small/few blooms.

And one of my favorite tulips:
A little gardening hint here for those of you with tulips. You know the "damn..." feeling you get when they're not blooming anymore?
Simple solution. Dig up the bulbs and stick them in the fridge (don't let them freeze) for 2-3 weeks and replant them.
They'll think winter has come and gone and it's time to bloom again. You can do this over and over. Even in winter in a pot in a sunny window.
