Bloomin' Tuesday

Finally have some sun and a few blooms to show off.  It seems to be taking much longer for my plants to bloom this year...oh well, thank goodness for lovelies such as these, my favourite, blue lobelia.



The last of my tulips - Queen of the night.




Creeping phlox with some golden creeping jenny.




Found some geraniums to add a splash of colour in the back bed by the playhouse.




My golden elder is loving all the rain we've had.




Finally!  My columbine are starting to bloom!




See how big this bud is?  Can't wait to see the bloom...love, love, love peonies!




The first of my geraniums - Johnson's Blue.




Clematis covering the middle garden bed's trellis.  Makes a lovely privacy screen.




The soapwort is just starting to bloom now.



Some of my blue flax, this came back from seeds I put in last year.  Such a pretty blue.

Bloomin' Tuesday

Hello everyone!  I finally have a few photos of the garden to share.  Spring has been very slow to arrive this year, but I am glad to see so many favourite plants returning.  I would like to extend a warm welcome to three new followers: Karen, Heather and Sharon.

Enjoy!

My bleeding hearts are looking lush this year.




They've doubled in size this past week thanks to all the rain we had.




Primulas in the garden bed by the playhouse. 



My creeping phlox are not quite as profuse as they have been in the past...but I'm glad to see at least one plant return this year.



The always reliable elephant ears.




My double flowering plum still has buds so I expect it will be in bloom for another week at least.



One lone container of snapdragons and strawberry plants.  Time to get some planting done!
