Happy Spring!
We have been having
a Beautiful Spring,
so far...
I would love to take you
on a walk around the garden...
come on we'll head to the back...
Hyacinths are the smell of Spring
to me...
each year I buy blooming pots
to keep them in the house,
and when the blooms are spent,
plant them in the garden...
so now I am lucky to have
lots of Hyacinths...
the Tete-a Tete are blooming
with their companion
flowers Anemone...
(a close up of the Anemone is a couple pics down)
we may be having a nice Spring...
but this is the Northwest
and everything is mud splattered...
the Anemone...
the first Daffodil popped....
Muscari,
or as commonly known
Grape Hyacinth...
are very common here...
so common that when I moved here
and started landscaping
my barren at the time yard,
a neighbor brought a grocery sack full of bulbs...
I cheated on Mother Nature
a bit,
and added some potted Tulips
to my back garden...
I prefer adding bulbs
this way,
because,
I can never decide where to plant them in the fall
when the Spring flowers
are only a memory...
this Spring we have had very little frost,
so the Camellia
are looking the best I have ever seen...
usually they get quite
a bit of frostbite...
this New Dawn Viburnum
is new to me and still in the nursery pot...
the Hummingbirds
are thrilled with the new addition...
the Anna's Hummingbird
is a year round residence here...
and this King Edward Flowering Currant,
is the first natural source of food
for them in my garden....
the Currant Trees also
grow wild in the foothills nearby...
a close-up...
pink flowering Thundercloud Plum Trees
and nearly blue skies....
the White Magnolia
against a glorious blue sky...
The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green, in Seattle
Like a beautiful child, growing up, free an' wild
Full of hopes an' full of fears, full of laughter, full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle
. . . in Seattle!
Perry Como
I think this is only true,
because when we see blue skies
we notice,
haha...
a garden companion
coming in for a song and a bath...
the evening serenaders
have laid their eggs
on the aquatic Celery...
these will be Pacific Green Tree Frogs...
cheerful Primrose...
Rockcress,
spilling out of it's mud splattered white pot...
I hope you have enjoyed
walking with me in the garden,
I was so glad to have you along....
I am linking up to...
Thanks for stopping by...
