Karen, at Greenwalks had a post about Pink Pieris Japonica - looked a lot like this, but pink. Karen, here is my plant. It's not Mountain Laurel (Kalmia) after all - I do have one, but it's not blooming yet.
Speedwell. (veronica)
Meet my new friend Heather.(erica carnea)
Lungwort's (pulmonaria) flowers change from pink to light blue!
I've never had success with it before, but I'm giving English Daisy (Bellis perennis) another try.
Why not post a few photos of what's blooming in your plot? Head over to Carol's May Dreams Garden blog and join us!

Beautiful blooms, Jen! Love are your double and single daffys, oh and the andromeda too. At my childhood home there was a pink/purple one on the side and a white one in the front. Those tiny pendulous flowers are so charming.
Miss B. looks adorable sitting near with the daffodils. I take she's back from her honeymoon ;)
Your mom's choice in daffodils is delightful - what a beautiful color. The double daffodils are stunning - they look like they have their party dresses on! I don't have any daffodils and I can't really figure out why I quit forgetting to add them. You garden looks so happy and spring-like, JGH. Things are slowly picking up here and yesterday the wild violets opened and the hyacinth finally decided to be brave.
My dafs pretty much passed out from heat exhaustion. I have the same pieris, and yesterday brought in bouquets of fragrant lilac.The sweet woodruff is in bloom & some shrubs with pink flowers, and that's about it for my yard.
Yesterday at Bear Mountain I kept smelling heavenly scents but couldn't place them... some flowering shrubs there near the museums -- maybe vibernum and some early honeysuckle bushes? I think I saw cherry blossoms too.
I am feeling far too lazy to do a bloom day post again this month, but I am enjoying yours! Thanks for the link. :) That does look like pieris, in my inexpert opinion. Kalmia has rounded, cup-shaped flowers as far as I recall from my parents' garden. Love your daffs! I have some of those but don't recall their names either! I am so bad about that... happy spring, can't wait to see your tulips.
This is such a happy post! What is the name of that fuzzy flower in the bottom picture? Your new friend, Heather, is lovely.
It's looking like spring in your neck of the woods. Great blooms!
My favorite pictures are the first one and the last one. I love peach colored flowers and I'm a sucker for cute doggies:)
Hello Jen, lovely display of daffodils. Spring is here and hope you are enjoying the start of a wonderful weekend. Diana
Wonderful blooms - how nice having so many different varieteies of daffodils, with or without names.
Isn't it usually true that mother knows best? The daffodils are beautiful. I look forward to seeing your tulips soon :-)
You sure do have some lovely blooms to share.
Hi Jen, what a beauty of a daffodil your mother gave you! Those colors are stupendous. You have fabulous blooms for this month's bloom sharing day. The bellis is so cute, isn't it a biennial, so it would die after blooming each year. Still worth growing, like so many biennials, my favorite being the foxgloves. Thanks for the linkage! :-)

Lovely parade of blooms ... I love your daffodils!
Wow...the Daffodil named Apr10+006.JPG is absolutely stunning. I have never seen a Daffodil like that.
That is an adorable lungwort! Do you know the variety?
PS I wonder if #3 (and 4, back view??) is Sir Winston Churchill... is it fragrant? I think that's what mine is and it looks very similar. It's been a pretty good repeater for me, so I need to get more next fall!
We had snow today. Admittedly, just the slightest hint of snow, but still.
I'll go out and take pictures of other people's gardens.
