Transitions in the Garden

 We're in the middle of growth and change in the garden.  Daffodils are finished, the leaves just building strengh for next year's flowers.  The Primrose are nearly finished too.  But other plants are growing fast!  Hostas are virtually exploding out of the ground with their big leaves and our first Peony is in bloom, as well as several other plants.

This is the first of the Peonies to bloom, out in the front garden in full sun.  It's the very unusual Fernleaf Peony.  I love the deep red colour.

You saw the leaves of this one in the spring plant quiz.  It's Leopard's Bane.

We have both white and pink Bleeding Heart.

And a few Alliums.  Sorry about the neighbour's distant wheelbarrow.

I think the name of Coral Bells is most appropriate at this stage, when the tiny blooms haven't really opened yet.

This is an Azalea, but I don't remember it being so white last year.

    Lovely blooms in your garden, and always nice to see the first Peony in bloom.

    All the best Jan

    I notice that my hostas are also growing apace!! My Leopards Bane is done for another year as are most of the primroses.

    A pink wheelbarrow, that's a different backdrop, might be good if upright and had a quilt draped for a photo shoot. Love all those flowers. gorgeous.

    Oh look at all those beautfiful flowers. I had hoped our peonies would be open this week, but we're now cool and wet so I'm thinking maybe next week. The ladybugs are having a heyday on the plants.
