We are having beautiful days with sun, some breeze and cool mornings. The plants continue to awaken and there are increasingly more beautiful blooms. It seems like spring is solidly here.
I have been planting the plants I so diligently started from seed over the winter. There are some onions to harvest and herbs for cooking.
I will be sharing this post on Six on Saturday tomorrow. The group each shares 6 photos to reveal what is happening in their gardens. Come take a look at this website. https://gardenruminations.co.uk. Jim Stephens is our host.
The poppy is a native that has been slow to establish but may have turned a corner this year. Very bright yellow blooms catch my eye as I walk along the path which passes by it.
The Spanish bluebells come up so suddenly. It is seemingly overnight that they are blooming.
The native azalea is also a slow developer. They are deciduous so they are unremarkable in the winter. But now as you can see the blooms are beautiful. This one, I believe, is Flame Azalea.
The Bloodgood is growing well in a container. It struggled for a year until I discovered that the container did not drain well. Now that is remedied. Behind it, you can see the bright red kurume type azalea.
The Solomon’s seal spreads by rhizomes and it seems to be thriving in its shady spot.
The flowering quince continues to impress. It is ‘Toyo-Nishiki’.
Hope your gardens are giving you pleasure. Happy Gardening.
