" April showers do bring May flowers "
It's been one of the rainiest Springs on record and the garden is saturated but at the same time everything is lush. May is an exciting time in the garden as I watch its blooms unfold. Of course non are more precious than my little sweetpea ( center fold ) who'll reach the 6 month mark in two days. She's growing hair and has two teeth and at 18 or more pounds and 27 " long she's a big gal. Like the flowers she requires regular feeding and is eating me out of house and home :-)
The magnolias, azaleas, rhododendrons, iris, euphorbia, bergenia, tulips, daffodils, bishop's hat, primrose, perennial pansies, daphne, and creeping phlox are all in bloom this 15th of May.

Acer Japonicum 'autumn moon '
And although it doesn't bloom the beautiful colors of my autumn moon maple are delightful for a very long time.
Love the new growth on my Densi yew
First year to bloom : Rhododendron 'Bixby ; Rhododendron of the year 2007. It's small , a unique color, and beautiful.

And the little sweetpea is the sweetest bloom of them all! Beautiful blooms Mom!
ReplyDeleteNothing cuter than a sweetpea in the garden. A centerfold at such a young age!

ReplyDeleteAren't you fortunate to have your little Granddaughter nearby!! Beautiful collage with the most striking feature in the center! :-) Did you have a special Mother's Day celebration?
ReplyDeleteI love your favorite flower also. My favorite flower is just two months old and what a joy! We can talk granddaughters at Spring Fling in addition to plants!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms, Carolyn Gail, but none so much as the little bloom in the center photo:)I hope you've gotten several rainy days to relax a little. Looking forward to meeting you at Spring Fling!
