The vernal equinox is approaching. It is inevitable. In truth, the lion that entered March is wearing. The warming temperatures and spring rains are having their expected effect. The emerging green and increasing blooms are a steadily increasing pleasure.
I have a large choice of photos for this week but I have six to show you. Every Saturday morning, a group posts there 6 photos of the week on the Six on Saturday meme. Come join us. Better yet, post a photo of your own.
Here is the link https://gardenruminations.co.uk hosted by Jim Stephens.
Here are my 6 for this week.
This pink azalea was on my property when we moved here 40 years ago. It has reached for the sun since this is the northeast side of the house. It is magnificent this year.
I think the native iris in the center is Iris virginica.
The dwarf blue iris on the right was one of a group planted last fall.
The tassel fern on the left Polysticum polyblepharum is waking up and doing well.
The Southern maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedantum) is also enjoying the welcome milder weather.
The final photo is Carolina spicebush also known as sweet shrub Calycanthus florida. Its most unusual bloom does have a sweet smell.
I hope you are experiencing now or soon the same explosion of spring growth in your yard.
Happy Gardening!
