Random Spring garden pictures.

Spring has most certainly arrived!

1) Lilies have begun to grow. The voles must have not discovered this one because they have eaten all the other lilies I have tried to grow. Oh, tiger lilies how I miss you!

2) Kerria are covered in blooms. They are gangly plants with a fountain-like grown but the Spring show is wonderful.

9) Chinese Redbud makes us all wonder: “Why are they called redbuds when they should be called Magenta Buds?” (Note to self: Put on glasses when focusing pictures!)”

And with the rain comes blooms!

Heavy rains have broken the drought and encouraged a flash of colour in the garden.

Incense Passionflower – the bees seem to stay on this passionflower for hours. The nectar must have an intoxicating effect because they do not fly away even when you touch them.

Ratibida pinnata – This black-eyed-susan looking plant grows about six feet tall then the flowers fall over as they mature and begin to form seeds.
