What's looking good in May 2024

Spiraea in it's full glory this morning.....so sad that in general blossom doesn't last very long.



Everything is greening up fast now over the far side of our garden , this area is clay (our house was built 120 years ago alongside a working clay quarry) . This part is mainly shrubs, Plum, Cherry, Appple and Pear trees with a couple of Buddlejas ( Butterfly Bushes), with other plants dotted about for additional colour.

 

What a pretty delicate shade @Logan ..lovely.

 

Thank you @Oreti i like your first pic how you got the sun ray through the trees, it all looks so refreshing with all of the green.

 

Very pretty flowers and gardens . Nice to see more gardens waking after a long winter.

 

Thanks.

 

You're welcome.

 

So delicate and lovely, Loggie.

Clay, those are lovely to see, Clay. Very nice indeed.

 

Thank you Sjoerd

 

Those are impressive foto’s Pac.
BTW— is that a rhubarb plant?

 

Yeap ! Sjoerd you are correct. Rhubarb is one thing the rabbits, elk, deer don’t eat due to its high levels of oxalic acid nor the gophers / moles/ voles/ mice….even slugs and snails . It comes back winter after winter. My family prefers rhubarb pie to pumpkin. It’s much tastier than pumpkin. It has a better consistency and texture . Sweet and tangy once cooked in a pie crust with all the toppings. Yummm.

 

PM PIX . Zero sunshine today. Overcast pic all the shrubs , trees roses leafed out.

 

I really liked the pic, Pac. It is a great overview. You have such gorgeous areas there.
Funny about that rhubarb…I had some rhubarb crumble at a goodbye party in the clubhouse this morning. Delicious.

Oreti— great yard shots…and the spirea is smashing.
