|
We had a lot of rain and now much warmer temperatures and things are really starting to grow!
The Lady's Mantle buds after the rain
I had never noticed how pretty the Chestnut blooms are! This one is still wet after the rain
The Comfrey has shot up to almost 4 feet and is starting to bloom
My daughters Petunia up close
Star of Bethlehem
The first Spiderwort bloom
The Lupin that the bunnies missed
The first purple Flag
Lambs Ear and Silene - I love the colors together!
Bachelor Button
I'm hoping it won't be long until the Peony's start to bloom

Such wonderful color you have Netty. I've never seen Chestnut blooms before. I was trying to pick a favorite and I just can't, they are all so wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

The photograph of your Lady's Mantle is wonderful with the rain drops on it Netty. I must take a closer look at chesnut blossoms in the future because I didn't realise just how pretty they were. I'm glad the rabbits didn't find that lupin because it's lovely. My peonies are finished for this year so I'll look forward to seeing yours.

Oh Netty...these are just lovely! The lambs ear and siline go well together. Good choice.
The Tradescantia-- is beautiful I have that one too, outside the greenhouse.
The chestnut blooms are stunning.
Thanks for this refreshing show of colour.
You are doing so well with your flowers. It's delightful to see.

How wonderful everything looks. I have never seen Chestnut blooms before, those are very pretty...do they have a fragrance?

Beautiful pictures. I can't select a favorite, but I am very partial to all the lavenders/blues, etc. And the Bachelor Button is so airy and dainty.

Your garden is beautiful Netty! I like the chestnut trees, but they grow so big. I'm glad the bunnies missed that lupin. You're good at combining colours.

Thanks all for the comments.
Toni-they do have a nice fragrance, but it is not very strong. You have to stick your nose right into the bloom.
