Do you like Spring blooms? They are appearing finally. Do you like to see green leaves? They are appearing finally. Sunny days and warming temperatures are the norm these days.
Unfortunately, we have the chance of severe weather this time of year. The forecast is for severe thunderstorms with possible hail tomorrow. It seems the whole country may be under weather advisories. The wise will be prepared. iPhones have a setting for severe weather alerts and I have ours turned on. If necessary, find a safe place in the house. Usually that is at least a basement or a bathroom without windows.
I have a colorful set of photos this week. I will also be joining the Six on Saturday group tomorrow. Join us at the link. https://gardenruminations.co.uk .

Here are the greens. Both are sedums. The left is autumn joy awakening from winter. It does well in a container. The right succulent is also a succulent sedum.
The bearded Iris is here early. I planted these bulbs last year and I am certainly pleased with their appearance. The Camellia japonica is of unknown cultivar but it is a beauty.
Both of these azalea blooms are overexposed but they are gorgeous. The indica has larger leaves and bigger blooms than the kurume. These are classic azaleas now that by far the Encore azaleas dominate the garden nurseries.
Hope the weather is not a problem tomorrow. Happy gardening!

Nice and Springy. Thanks.Sent from my iPhone
Spring flowers and new growth really is cheery. We have a slight frost here again this morning. My Camelia is several weeks late this year, I wonder it it was because I pruned it a little last summer.
Interesting about the camellia. If I prune mine, perhaps I should do it right after blooming.
Some of these flowers are way ahead of here and I understand the March hail storms would be destructive…fingers crossed there’s no damage.
There’s something very pleasing about the new growth of a sedum. The Iris is lovely.
The photo’ of the iris is stunning.
Lovely flowers and foliage – especially that golden iris. Hope the weather behaves for you.
It was ominous. No major damage and no fatalities reported. The weather forecasters did their jobs well and the first responders were out in force. I am grateful.
