Garden Bloggers Bloom Day - April 2011

We have had a wonderfully warm April so far. The garden has responded to the warm wet weather. I have lots to show you this month. There aren't many daffodils blooming at this time due to the unusually warm weather.
Epimediums are abloom. 
I took this picture during a rain this week. The dogwoods are blooming nice. 
These sweet blue blooms of the  Brunnera.
This is  a new addition to the early spring blooms in my garden. A Iris cristata 'Powder Blue Giant'. 
The White Lilac has many blooms this year. Mmmmm can you smell it?? 

One of the last daffodils to bloom in my garden each year. Sorry I don't know the type it is.  
One last Hyacinth. Not the pure white of the ones growing out front but it is still a smeller. 
The old fashioned purple iris that never fail me are beginning to bloom. Hopefully I will have some for the Easter dinner table decoration. 
Virginia blue bells are blooming up a storm. 
Purple carpet phlox is blooming.  Now, if you have stayed with me long enough you get a bonus...
When I looked out my window this morning something caught my eye. It was a Nessus Sphinx Moth at the Virginia Blue Bells.  WHooo Hooo. I have never seen this moth in my garden. I am so happy I can share it with you. Luckily my Dearly Beloved strolled by my room right when I spotted it. He grabbed his camera and got this shot. Thank you Dear.
Happy Garden Bloggers Blooom Day to you all. If you want to see more flowers blooming in gardens around the world go to our GBBD hostess's blog, May Dreams Gardens,  for many more participants showing.

New Blogger, Old Blogger

     All I can say it is difficult to deal with change. This new Blogger format is not as user friendly in my opinion. I guess I will get us...
