More signs of spring

I wish I had the time and money to garden like I want, but I'll settle for the few things I have. I always do a few perennials in containers every spring, so here are some pics of what I have this year.

I can't remember the name of this, but I think it's a Bleeding heart. It looks like a heart hanging.........I caught a pic of it's very first bloom!

A pic of the strawberries we planted. Riley gives them love EVERY day! It's part of what a plant needs to grow, you know!










My hosta are looking much better than last year. They were awfully scraggly last year!



And last, but certainly not least, is something that looks a little like a weed, but means a whole lot more. This is what remains of a butterfly bush given to Riley by Mr. Johnny, our sitters' late husband. Every year it seems like it won't survive, but it always manages to put out one or two little blooms at the end of the season!
