I don't think I've ever been this late to the party, but the <A HREF="http://ourlittleacre.blogspot.com/2008/05/garden-bloggers-bloom-day-for-may-2008.html" REL="nofollow">Garden Blogger's Bloom Day post</A> is finally up at Our Little Acre!

I'm late to the party too, Carol. I've been sick and haven't felt up to doing it until now. I started to just skip this month, but I haven't missed one since I started blogging and just couldn't miss. I can see missing maybe January or February, but not May.

I'm so very late to the party, but after not being able to participate for the last several months (new garden, no flowers) I wanted to join in so badly! I hope that's okay. I just love this feature and am so glad you are still doing it! Thank you so much!<BR/>~Angela :-)

Hi Carol: Finally getting a chance to start catching up on my blog reading, and I had to come here first to give you big hugs and congrats on your Mousie wins! Couldn't think of a more deserving winner...you're a rallying gardening heart for so many of us across the world. Well done, my dear friend!<BR/><BR/>Interestingly, I just came back from a visit down the Valley about 3 hours from here--and

Hi Carol-<BR/><BR/>Just a note to thank you for visiting my blog after my late bloom day post. I think the Louisiana iris hybrids might just make it in zone 5 with mulch - they're about the toughest ones I grow. I'd love to have more, but they take lots of room, and that's now at a premium. The Cypripedium orchids would actually be much happier with you than they are with me - they struggle in

Yippie...I finally posted my blooms, better late than never! Thanks for hosting, this is so good for me to get out there and take the time to notice what's in bloom instead of attacking the weeds ;)

I'm running late (although my garden in early, compared to much of the country) with this, but here's a link to my thrown-together blog of what's currently in bloom here in coastal VA.<BR/><BR/>http://transitionalgardener.blogspot.com/

Maybe it's a good thing that your plants are blooming later? Maybe a sign that global warming is slowing? I guess I can hope.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that's why my bloom day post is late? <BR/><BR/>http://vertaustin.blogspot.com/2008/05/may-bloom-day.html

I am so late commenting here - when I owe you congratulations on all your Mousies as well. the commonweeder bloom day post will be late because of computer problems which have been very frustrating. But it is wonderful to see those gardeners who not only have beautiful blooms, but also computer capabilities to share photos.

That double columbine is to die for, Carol, as are your pretty tulips. And the lilac anticipation! Your garden is full of spring beauty with the promise of more to come.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.penick.net/digging/?p=507" REL="nofollow">My Bloom Day post</A> is up, and better late than never, I hope.

Hi there, this is my first proper bloomsday, I found you in February but have only just managed to make it today (only one day late, not bad for me).<BR/>I love your columbine too, I have some from mixed seed that I forgot to add to my list I must go back and do that; http://procrastinatorsprogress.wordpress.com/
