Second Garden Walk

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday was another banner day here... Sunny and 75!!  Another walk in the garden was called for because different things were in bloom.  I LOVE this time of year.

Look at the color of this gorgeous tulip in my garden... there is a quilt in the waiting!

My lilacs are blooming and they are soooo fragrant!  I have three different varieties too.  This one is your regular old run of the mill lilac... simply stunning.  The last time I showed these beauties, they were just buds... click here to take a peek.

Remember the last walk through my garden?  Remember the height the peonies were?  Now look at them!  They are taking off.  Click here to see the last photo I took of them.

My dark, dark purple lilacs are just about to bloom.  These sit on a different side of the house than the first photo.  Those lilacs sit on the south side, which explains why they are blooming right now.

My pink azaleas are now in bloom!  Glorious!!

I am tickled pink that my cherry tree is blooming.  It suffered a bit of damage from the October storms.  The shape of the tree is somewhat of an L right now.  But I am okay with that because it looks just beautiful!!

This is my Kerria Japonica, the cultivar is Pleniflora.  I love these little pom-pom like flowers. This plant has grown so much over the years and graces the end of our driveway.  Nice to come home to when we are out.

Don't you just love this time of year???

Until Next Time...

Spring Time In My Yard

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday was a glorious day here and I couldn't resist going outside and taking some photos of everything blooming.  This is a wonderful time of the year, with signs of life everywhere!! 

So come and join me for a pictorial tour of my yard in bloom.

I have two colors of Hellebores growing in my garden and they are looking beautiful!  This is the white one.

Here is the cranberry color.

Our flowering plum tree is looking pretty good.  I am quite surprised too as it was heavily damaged by the storms late last year.

Lemony yellow daffodils.

This azalea is my favorite color, pink... hot pink!!

Close up of the gorgeous blooms.

The vinca is blooming with periwinkle flowers.

White and yellow daffodils.

My star magnolias are not only in full bloom, but they are so fragrant I wish you could smell them through the computer.

My oh my... look at my weeping cherry tree.

Check out the blue sky!!

Even my lilacs are starting to bud!  Yippee!! I can't wait for them to bust open.

Look here... my peonies are pushing up through the mulch.

What is this??? Hmmmm... my daylilies have been someone's salad.  

Every year they get gnawed on, but this is why we have so many daylilies, they are hardy and bounce right back and bloom.  So the deer can go ahead and have some salad if they like... no worries here.

Look a next in our Fringe Tree (Old Man's Beard).  It is a little too high for me to take a pick.  I had to zoom in to get this shot.

A really great shot of the Hellebores.

As you can see I enjoyed the day!!  Isn't springtime glorious?  

What is blooming in your yard?

Until Next Time...
