The bumblebees are newly hatched and active. So much fun to see. The big lilacs are finished but the really fragrant Persian lilacs have begun blooming along with the clematis. Hostas are gaining size, but so are the dandelions. Rhodies are in bloom everywhere. Maybe photos of them tomorrow. Wish you could smell these little lilacs.
Your garden looks so full of life Jewell! It's bursting with colour I like your hostas and the blue garden chairs
Gosh you're way ahead of me Jewell. I love all the plants you've shown us but that white bleeding heart has just got to be my favourite.
I wish I could smell the Lilac's too! It will be at least a few weeks before mine bloom. Love the Clematis ... they don't seem to like it in my yard much.
My favorite combo is in full bloom. My least favorite combo is just starting. Lavender and red is not a combination I would choose. Another clematis just starting. It's hard to believe spring is so far advanced but maybe it's because the warm weather has made me feel more like this.....
Jewell, All the pictures are great but the first one is spectacular. Wish mine would hurry up....thank you for showing us how pretty it is where you live.
Jewell, is that a Nelly Moser clem with a wegelia? Whatever they are, they are gorgeous together. I also love you double white clematis. What vine is growing on the trellis outside your door? That front (is it your front door?) door shot is great! The snoozing pooch, the sun on the door step, the gentle curve of the doorway reflected in the stone stoop & of course, the 2 trellises flanking the door.
Nettie---Why don't clematis love it in your garden? I ask because I have been having trouble growing them too.
