Not much gardening happening here the last couple of days. It's been rainy and today it is pretty cold. I have, however, been busy reading up on gardening.

A friend gave let me borrow Taylor's Guide to Bulbs and I'm finding it quite interesting. Now if only I had the money to spend on getting the bulbs I'd like to have and preparing garden beds for them.

One thing I have accomplished over the last few days is that I have identified a few of the plants in my flower bed in the backyard. At least I think I've identified them. I'm not sure if I've identified them properly or not but based on what they look like at the present time I have identified them to what I think they are.

I'm pretty certain that I have some lungwort back there. I've identified them by their speckled leaves and the flowers that turn from a pinkish to a purplish. They are very pretty. They are also know by other names - such as Bethlehem's sage and Jerusalem Cowslip. I found a picture of lungwort online that looks much like the plant in my flower bed.

I'm also fairly certain that I have some Lamb's ears back there. I remember my aunt saying something about Lamb's ears when she gave me that plants. The picture of Lamb's ear on this page looks something like the plant in my flower bed.

The other plant I'm not so sure about. I think it may be Dragon's Blood Sedum but I'm not entirely sure about it. The bottom picture of Dragon's Blood Sedum on this page looks something like the plant I have in my backyard.

Someday soon I hope to finally get around to posting actually pictures of the plants from my garden. Right now I just can't seem to get around to it.

Well, I must go back to my books. Happy gardening!
