I love this time of year!!! Plants are blooming!

The plants are starting to bloom! Pictured above is one of our tree peonies. The blooms are so big! Then there is our lungwort with the wild ginger behind it. Next is our False Indigo in her pretty shade of yellow. We also have 2 purple ones. Another tree peoney is next. This one was only about 3 inches tall when I bought it about 5 years ago. It is a very lovely shade of purple. I can't forget our new yellow iris. It really is a nice compliment to the orchid coloered ones behind it. Then our fushia, now if only the hummingbirds would find it. Every year we buy a new piece of art, etc for the gardens. This year is our lovely hummingbird. I just love it! We went out again to a nursery we like about 2 hours away from us. We did manage to find a few new plants, but it is getting harder to find things that we don't already have or that will fit into any of our gardens. But of course if we do like a plant ( and I don't know of many that we don't like... LOL) we always find a place for it. I really need to go out and count all the different plants we have. We don't have many duplicates. We have at least 45 daylillies and 35 Hostas but none that are the excact same plant. So that is 80 plants alone with just these 2 families of plants. Have I said that I LOVE plants?? We still have to plant the ones we bought on saturday, but at 90 degrees I will wait until the weekend when it is suppose to be cooler. Anyway this is a small look at our gardens. Hugs, Teresa

  1. I LOVE the first paeony, wonderful colour! Here in Finland you have to protect them so much from cold weather, that I don't have them in my garden, just the normal ones, I have around 40 of them in my garden :) In addition to the paeonies, I love roses, irises, daylilies, lilys and hostas :)
