Here is one of the primrose in full bloom. After they are finished,I will put a few annuals in between them for some color.
A picture of the red and yellow tulip. The rest are plain, not frilly and striped.
The right side of the front flower beds, with creeping phlox, one bleeding heart, two full sized rose bushes and one miniature, and the pulmonaria ( lungwort). Tried moving it more to the left, but then it isn't shaded by the hand rail and wilted very quickly. Obviously not happy, so it was moved back in it's original spot this morning and looks better already...
The left side of the front, it also has tulips, creeping phlox, rose bush as well as two poppies, and two garden phlox plants. Will be putting in a delphinium next to the steps, and an echinacea behind the creeping phlox soon. Will be picking them up tomorrow, wonder if it's okay to plant them?
Side view of the front, will be taking more photos as things grow. Just wanted to document things early in the year, and will probably add another few on here soon, have to wait for the sun to go around the other side of the house and I can get clearer pictures. Also have to figure out what to do under the steps, the whole thing was originally grass, then landscape cloth covered by white marble rocks and potentilla bushes in front. Got tired of it and took it all out, but the area under the steps has a mind of it's own...

Love the photos of the flowers. I also love how your house flares out at the bottom. Never seen that before...
thanks,Lona! Will get some better photos of the front flower beds sometime soon. We are busy helping our daughter move lately, sad to see our little grandson leave...and excited for them all at the same time.
Forgot to add: the flared out part of the house is the enclosed front porch, pretty typical of the mining houses in the area. It looks nicer when they have the cedar shake shingles on instead of vinyl siding, but we'll trade for not having to paint/stain every few years.
