One doesn't mind though because there will be more blooms arriving soon.
Lets take a stroll around the garden and see what is happening now. Of course you can be like Annie , sit back and relax. I will take you around.
If we actually begin out front you can see that we have quite a bit of pink going on.This dogwood tree is supposed to be red but it is a dark pink. I am not complaining as it has reliably bloomed for years.
Walk across the patio and you can see lots of plants emerging.
A closer look at the epimedium blooming makes one think the fairies will soon be coming out of hibernation.
Looking across the garden everything is greening up.
What are some of your favorite sights in your garden this spring?
Beautiful patch of epidemium Lisa.
ReplyDeleteThey obviously like your soil.....surprised cyclamen will not grow alongside them.
Mulching looks great and makes such a difference in a garden. Looks very professional.
It is strange how we suddenly look at a garden and realise that one colour dominates.
I have such a lot of yellow and orange at this time. Lovely and colourful but somehow it does not sit with me too well. Will have to have a rethink at some point.
Love your garden Lisa

That is a really beautiful epimedium. What kind is it? I love epimediums but it is hard to find them down here. I have only two types and both are going to be moving to the new garden soon. The pea gravel path looks great! What a bonus to find a reliably blooming dogwood-especially a pink or red one!
ReplyDeleteThose epimediums! Mine never looked that good...yours are beautiful! (And so is Miss Annie!)
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the blooming Annie too. My blooms are late this spring. Daffs and species tulips blooming now. The pink dogwood is beautiful. I would love to be able to grow one here.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite blooms at this moment would be ... tulips, of course. Much more coming along soon. I join in the chorus of admiration for your epimedium. Also your redbud makes me miss my own late lamented Cercis.
ReplyDeleteOh, so lovely, Lisa! I love all the pink, but the green is such a welcome sight this time of year, too. We got home late Monday night, too dark to see what was going on in the garden. But what a surprise I had yesterday morning! It was as if spring had arrived full force while we were in Texas--I'm loving it!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that spring has arrived for you. We are having a really nice one too although it has been a wet one. I am not going to complain though. I would rather have more rain than too little. I love the pink dogwood.
ReplyDeleteWhat a floriferous Epimedium! Don't you love the sound of walking on gravel?
ReplyDeleteOur epimedia flower pink. How delightful to see yours! Your pea gravel path is delightful & meanders through such a charming vista...
ReplyDeleteYour garden is flourishing! soo pretty. I love the gravel path. <3
ReplyDeleteDear Lisa-your garden looks lovely. I love your redbud tree. Just beautiful. I just adore spring.
ReplyDeleteOh Lisa, your garden was looking good back in April but I bet it’s even better now! I do love the style of your garden and all the plants you grow in it :-D
