The flowers are coming out in our backyard, finally. The ones up front bloomed a while ago, but the ones in the back garden seem to be taking more of their sweet time. We have a new flowering plant that spouted two branches of Bleedings Hearts. Since the plant was brand new, the flowers were quite miniature.
Our lilac bush finally produced some flowers. We planted it last summer and while it grew tall, it never sprouted any buds. This year, we seem to have gotten at least one clump of delicious smelling flowers.
I couldn't resist adding in this photo--she is taking a break from following me around as I snap photos.
The white irises are very prolific this year. We have about 15 stalks, each with at last 2 blossoms on them. The two-toned purple ones are also out and the very deep (almost black) purple irises are starting to open up. In other places, soft lavender irises are blooming.
The roses form Fiona are simply bending over with all the buds on them. We pruned quite severely at the end of the fall and now we are gaining that benefit. Each plant must have one 50 buds on them. And when they open up, it smells glorious!
