Spring is definitely showing itself here, as something else blooms every day. Here are the flowers blooming in my yard this week.
 |
| Some daffodils are starting to fade, |
 |
| While others are going strong. |
 |
| This dianthus is a little beaten down from the rain we had this morning. |
 |
| Quince bush |
 |
| Leaves are starting to join the forsythia blooms. I like the color combination. |
 |
| Our sour cherry tree is just starting to bloom, |
 |
| But the neighbor's ornamental cherry has been in full bloom for about a week. |
 |
| I planted these bleeding hearts last year, so I'm happy that they are blooming this year. However, they may have suffered some recent frost damage. |
 |
| We have cardinals who like this ornamental plum tree. |
 |
| These grape hyacinths are pretty but have totally taken over this bed. I pulled tons of them to give the other plants a chance to come up. After they finish blooming, I will pull more. |
 |
| Another shade of purple is getting ready to bloom on this lilac bush. |
 |
| This crabapple tree is also getting ready to bloom. |
 |
| Unfortunately, in the 8 years we've lived here, we have not gotten any apples from this apple tree. |
 |
| Our pear trees are always prolific but not disease-free. |
 |
| When I look out in the backyard, I see something new blooming every day. Today, it was a crabapple tree. |
What does spring look like where you live?
Until next time...
