Wow, it seems it has been a long time coming ... spring is finally here! It is so nice to be out in the gardens again, but it sure is a busy time. There are shrubs to prune, leaves and debris to clean up, gardens to edge, topdress, cultivate and weed. It seems a little overwhelming at times, but when the plants start to thrive and bloom it is all worth it. A few tulips in bloom These were planted last fall - 'China Doll' This is the second season for this Frittilaria This Spurge is always a favorite in my spring garden 'Candy Stripe' Creeping Phlox This White Bleeding Heart is a favorite too I always watch for my 'White Feather' Hosta to come up. It puts on a nice show early in the season. These Canadian Anemone are so pretty that you almost forget how invasive they can get Mother Nature rewards our patience for cold winters with the most wonderful smelling spring blooms If only you could smell them! I am so glad I am finally able to play in the dirt again!
Netty that Frittilaria is just amazing!! Spring has definitely burst into your garden and transformed it. I actually found my nose gravitating towards the screen when I saw all your flowers. We really should have scratch and sniff monitors so that we could enjoy the full impact of your garden.
Spring has finally arrived for you and with a big bang! All of your flowers and shrubs are beautiful but I'll be adding China Doll to my fall want list. It is so pretty.
Drop Dead Gorgeous Spring garden as usual Netty. My garden seems to wake up slowly but yours just POPS up ready to be amaze the eyes.
