Spring is my favorite season. I love the way that the world comes to life with pops of color. You can tell by all the color in my garden in spring.
This was a volunteer in my garden. Last year I got some Lily of the Valley from Grandma Connie and I planted it sporadically under the crape myrtle. They bloomed, but had some damage thanks to Morgan. (I planted them in her “path” as Kenny says, so what did I expect?) Well, this appeared among them. Surprise.
I had no idea what they were, but thanks to my dear friend Dawn, I can now call them by their name…Columbine! They are really a neat plant. The leafs, the tall blooming flower. I hope they come back again next year.
The first buds of my hydrangea. I have been waiting for 3 years for one of my hydrangea to bloom. I need to take a picture of the blooms. They are amazing.
Spirea. They have no scent, but I had to take the picture. I only have 1 of this variety. I want more and I don’t know the name! I have tried to propagate it by sticking a brick on a limb to see if it will root out. No luck yet. I might try to take a cutting later this year…
Peony. Need I say more. Can you smell it? They are enchanting. They are my favorite.
Summer blooms coming up: Coneflower, Black-eyed susan, Sedum, Day lillies, hydrangea, crape myrtle, joe pye weed
On my wish list:
- More hydrangea. Lots more. Mopheads, lacecaps, and event oakleaf!
- Butterfly bush
- Tall Phlox (pink)
- Delphinum
- Liriope (solid green with purple flower)
