Your photos are beautiful, Lin. I especially love double bloodroot!
Kim Charles, is there a new rule about only three pictures?
No--I actually prefer a minimum of 5...sweet spot is 10. I am a tad low on photo options at the moment. Hoping for a nice influx soon!
Love all these spring blooms.
Beautiful
Gorgeous! I have a tree peony similar to the one that is in your first photo. I love how the Japanese maple is behind it- such glorious form, texture and color! Unfortunately my tree peony is in the stage of starting over. Lots of dead wood this spring that I had to cut off, and I don't think it's going to have a single bloom this year. And my bleeding hearts also disappeared! I also have to start over with them . It is time to begin anew!
Ms. Morris, I have become a fan of texture with a splash of bright color & your 3rd. photo is a terrific example of that in a small package.
Good luck this season, Joe
Loved the 'wild' touch given to choice of flower plants and their color arrangement.
You've captured some lovely spring vignettes that exemplify why we gardeners (and non-gardeners also) go gaga over this time of year. It's just so gratifying to see things spring (ha, there's that word again) back to life and thrill us with form , texture and color. Thanks for sharing your pictures.
Looks lovely, Lin. (I don't think I can carry the alliteration any further...)
I especially love the tree peony with the red of the Japanese maple.
Charming spring blooms, Lin. There's something so appealing about bleeding hearts, especially when white and pink are combined... they always bring back happy memories of my childhood. The orange/red columbine is also a delicate beauty. I just came in from 'meshing' my flower covered honeysuckle to the fence and putting a garbage can over a young Sum and Substance hosta to protect them from the wet snow that is starting to fall for a late storm when I noticed my own columbine that started blooming yesterday. I'm hoping those fragile stems will just lie down as opposed to snapping!
Yikes, Sheila. Extreme heat in the east and snow in CO. This has been a year of weird weather. We are definitely having below normal temps here in the PNW but at least it doesn't seesaw....just cold. Good luck with your tender spring plants.
May snows are typical in CO, but usually not this late. The perennials should be fine given time to stand up again, it's the breakage of the trees that concern me. Last year we had massive damage. The good thing is these storms bring much needed moisture.
Wow, Sheila. You gave me a chill as I am sitting here under an umbrella eating lunch with 90 degree temps.
Just rub it in, Kevin, just rub it in! Hope you put on sunscreen!
Ah, Lin, you have created your own Eden. I hope you're not sweltering in the heat like we are in the Northeast. Where are you in NC? What zone are you in? Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous Spring goodies, Lin. Great to see another North Carolinian making the spaces even more beautiful. Love that maple with the peony...quite stunning. Looking forward to a break from this current heat.Thanks for sharing.
Good morning, Lin,. Great spring photos. I especially love the bleeding hearts as they're so delicate and were one of the flowers that I remember marveling over in my mother's garden as a child. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, Lin. If you folks on the east coast could send us some heat, I will try to send you some of our rain! Rascally weather!
Nice photos, Lin. I love the Japanese maple in the background.
Lovely spring photos, Lin. I especially am drawn to the Japanese maple with the peony.... great combo!
Love the spring blooms especially Sanguinaria canadensis, delicate, peony. Love the maple. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful
