Cathedral Flowers

Will and I took Stirling and Friday (the dog) to the Cathedral the other weekend.  It was a misty morning but we hadn't been up to the Bishop's Garden in a while and we wanted to see what was in bloom.

Rows of tulips, irises, peonies, and daffodils were out.  Narcissuses and Paperwhites, and an orange bell-like flower I wasn't familiar with.  The dogs romped, jumped, rolled in the green in the amphitheater.   Stirling chases Friday up and down the rows and stairs.  







The flowers in the Bishop's Gardens seem to be a few days ahead of the ones in our garden, as we are only now getting irises ready to open, though our tulips have now gone.   Our azaleas seem to be ahead though--with several of the buds opening.   But the Cathedral's redbud tree was stunning, whereas our trees have finished flowering entirely.
