Yesterday was a busy day in the garden, and our garden helper came to help dig holes in the hard clay for Mrs. F.G. to plant the rest of her plants. And I'm glad to report that we're just about at the end! I got out there for most of an hour to enjoy the sunshine and watch them work too.
These Leopard's Bane are finished now, but were very pretty while they lasted.
Both the white and pink bleeding Hearts have been in bloom for two weeks, and looking gorgeous.
The first of the Columbine are out, a white one. I just love the intricate shape of these flowers.
A new plant to me this year, Camassia.
This morning Mrs. F.G. went out and got a close-up of the Peony that is opening up. It will be a beautiful colour.
She also got some pix of our Azalea, which is a white one at a distance, but up close appears very light pink. Lots more to come over the coming weeks.
Anticipate that you'll be having a succession of flowers this season, so far things look pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI love all your flowers especially that pure white Columbine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely garden.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteEvery one is so pretty. nature gives us so much with each season, but the Peony takes pride of First Place.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice seeing the flowers close up when they bloom.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy nature's gift.
It's about time.
Everything looks beautiful. Glad to hear you could get outside and enjoy the weather.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have white flowers in the garden, and you have many varieties.
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are worth all Mrs. FG's efforts! Beautiful. Your peonies are a gorgeous colour, don't you wish they would last longer?
ReplyDeleteI need to follow through on some of the flowers I discovered on our walk Saturday and add to the 'dreaded' corral hill.
Flowers are so much more intricate and varied than the "daisy-thing" that we can draw from childhood. Mrs FG's efforts are yielding wonderful results.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty! I enjoy the plethora of flowers everywhere at this time of year. I too love the shape of columbines.
ReplyDeleteYour fans will enjoy your garden reports this year! Looking good!
ReplyDeleteYou live in the tropics compared to our gardens. Everything is just beginning to come to life here.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The columbine and azalea are particularly intricate and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are wonderful. Iowa has some of the riches soil in the world but the other parts are full of clay. My backyard seems to be the clay that the builders exposed while moving dirt around. My dad;s farm in southern Iowa was mostly clay.
ReplyDeleteYou have some nice photos there and what a great array of flowers you have. Your home may end up on a garden club tour if Meaford has such a group. So handy to have someone in the family who is so knowledgeable about gardening.
