And after the LONG winter we just went through, we are welcoming it with open arms!
Here in the backyard the white bleeding hearts are in bloom....
... as are the red & white columbine.
I hope the hummingbirds arrive before they stop blooming!
We have so much work to do in our little backyard area. This past weekend we got all the furniture out and set up the patio. Then I put a little picket fence around the perennials we planted last year. Within the next week or two we will be getting a load of bark mulch to spread around.
I got up into the girls' old treehouse to take this photo of the front yard. The hoppa crab tree was in full bloom when I took this photo last week.
Let's go through the gate and see what's in bloom out front...
A closeup of the apple blossoms...
And one of my favorite plants, my pink bleeding heart.
Once this little plant pops through the ground in the spring, it grows leaps and bounds...
It's going to be so much fun watching all the perennials come into bloom over the next few months! I think I'll be planting one of these in the backyard as well.. I just love them!
Please visit Cindy at My Romantic Home to see the incredible roses from her garden, and to find a list of everybody else participating in Show & Tell Friday!
I hope you are all enjoying beautiful weather wherever you are!

With flowers blooming here and there, everybody seem to be in a great mood during spring. Love your flowers. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so pretty. I love bleeding hearts and have tried to grow them here but they don't do that well. I've not seen the white ones before. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI just got some purple columbines to plant. I think they are such a pretty flower too.
I need to get some mulch too. My back yard needs a lot of work done on it.
I just have not been up to gardening yet. What in the world is wrong with me?
Hugs,
Joanne
