The title says it all. It is spectacular around here now. The daffodils and azaleas are done. The hydrangeas will soon take their place. There are numerous other spring flowers to enjoy.
The temperatures are warm. The days are longer. Rain is needed now. The forecast says we should expect some next week. It will be welcomed if only to clear up some of the pine pollen and oak catkins that are cluttering the deck, driveway and rain gutters.
I will be joining Six on Saturday tomorrow. If you are curious, join us at this website https://gardenruminations.co.uk.
The pink sorrel is a native and some consider it a weed but it is too beautiful to pull up, so I tolerate it.
The yellow Gerber is the first of its type to appear this year.
The Baptisia (Indigo) is a showy native.
The pink Columbine was gifted to me some years ago and is now self seeded to many places in the yard.
The bearded iris is an example as to why blue is a regal color.
The blue flag iris was gifted to me some years ago and I am grateful each time that I see them.
I hope your garden is giving you pleasure. Happy gardening!

What a lovely columbine, some of mine are just coming out, but I find that they tend to naturalise to purple here. I did have a pink and yellow one last year that I hope will return and I took seed from it which is just germinating, so my fingers are crossed.
This one has stayed true to its color. I had a blue one which did not.
This pink columbine looks very pretty in this light. Is pink sorrel invasive in your garden, even though you tolerate it? Do you have to pull it up often? Nice too.
It is invasive. I pull it up once the flowers have faded.
Blue flowers are my favourites and you have rewarded me here with two fabulous blue irises. Such an optimistic time of the year, I can feel it in your post and it is very uplifting. I hope you get the rain you desire, we have had plenty now!
A lovely selection.
Your blue iris are beautiful, such a lovely colour, also your pink columbine is very pretty, lucky you to have it spreading around! We have had so much rain, will send you some of ours if you like!
Lovely! Great photos of your colorful blooming plants. We are experiencing a similar surge, but we’re behind you just a bit. Happy “Six”!
The pink columbine is very petty. And like you I tolerate weeds (or wildflowers) if they aren’t causing a nuisance.
