Sorry for the slow posting recently, but our lives have been very busy! We've had an upheaval in caregiving, for the better in the long run we hope! In the nice weather of last week I was out every day, and I'm way behind on posting my photos. In the meantime our garden has been exploding into growth, so here's an update.
The first of our small poppies bloomed bright yellow.
We have a magnificent white Bleeding-heart right at the front door,
And three dwarf Yellow Iris absolutely filled with blooms along the front sidewalk.
The hostas have been coming up fast, leaves still mostly curled up, and just beyond this one a pink Bleeding-heart. Compare this one, growing in the shade, with the white one abovew, growing in full sun and both planted 4 years ago.
One of the treasures of the garden is the Fernleaf Peony, brought from our last home. Here its beautiful dark red blooms sit behind a couple of the remaining Daffodils in bloom.
Among my personal favourites are the ferns, here the fresh fronds of the Christmas Fern unfolding.
Finally we are very pleased to see our Redbud in bloom! Redbud is a small tree common much further south; we saw many of them on our trip to the Great Smokies a few years ago. This was a tiny seedling 12" tall three years ago.
Glad the caregiving is being sorted to your advantage, FG. The garden has been worth all the work for sure…gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe spring flowers are so great. Some of my flowers are ahead of you and yet some of yours are ahead of mine. Don't understand that but we have great flowers. My bleeding heart has not started to bloom yet. The dwarf iris is outstanding. It is time for us to forget about snow.
ReplyDeleteSpring has certainly arrived at you place -- great flowers. I've yet to see a poppy in bloom anywhere anywhere in our area this spring.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful assortment of plants. I love to see the Bleeding Hearts as they remind me of my Mum.
ReplyDeleteCaregiving, spring flowers, and the fernleaf Peony, a real beauty , and with caregiving sorted on the plus side of the scale, sounds like the days might be easier for you both.
ReplyDeleteThe city of Pembroke is awash with redbud trees. It' s a treat.
ReplyDeleteStunning flowers. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!😍
ReplyDeleteYour plants are much more advanced than mine. don't worry though. My plants will catch up.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow Iris is amazing and the white Bleeding Heart too. I've tried 3 times to grow one in partial shade. Maybe I'll try again but in full sun and see if I have better luck. Nice that your weather is such that you can be out and about most days.
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible garden you have.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to see your wide variety of flowers and glad you are getting out and about enjoying this Spring weather.....when it is available that is.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is coming beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove the white bleeding heart, it is a beauty! Mrs FG sure has a green thumb:)
