Happy Monday GPODers!

We’re starting the week off in in West Grove, Pennsylvania with Rhonda Molin. Rhonda has shared her gorgeous garden in almost every season (Check out previous submissions here: Rhonda’s Pennsylvania Garden, Fall in Rhonda’s Garden, A Safe Garden Wedding, Rhonda’s Hellebore Roundup, and A Guest in Rhonda’s Garden), and there is always a bounty of blooms and a flush of colorful foliage to enjoy. However, I think her palette of cool toned flowers and bright green foliage in spring is a particular highlight. The following photos showcase some of her recent blooms.

Rhonda’s clematis is just starting to bloom, but it is already covered in big buds. The focal point in Rhonda’s garden, a gorgeous creek with waterfalls, creates a relaxing backdrop.

Rhonda has several beautiful bulbs in her garden, but these ‘Erlicheer’ daffodils (Narcissus ‘Erlicheer’, Zones 5–9) are some of the best. Clusters of creamy white, double flowers on each stem create a texture distinctively different than most daffodils.

With the sun low in the sky, this border garden glows. Large clumps of blue camassia pair perfectly with the shrubs covered in pink flowers behind (possibly lilacs?).

Rhonda expertly sited this Koreanspice viburnum (Viburnum carlesii, Zones 5–9) underneath a window, so it’s spicy-sweet fragrance can be enjoyed indoors.

Finally, a better view of Rhonda’s fantastic water feature. A weeping redbud underplanted with some bright pink creeping phlox (Phlox subulata, Zones 3–9) sets off this display with a pop of color. An elegant crane statue at the bottom right corner is the perfect art accent.

Thank you so much for sharing this sensational sampling of spring blooms, Rhonda! As usual, your garden is shining this season.
