My alliums are starting to flower. I think I may have gone a little overboard on quantity when I lasagne-planted the pots last autumn!

Thank you Queenie! It is a majestic tree. I love Spring so much because of all the beautiful trees and flowers and green grass. Very lush and fresh. A new beginning of sorts.

Wow, so beautiful!

Thank you Junie! I bet you have some Cherrylicious trees by you too!

Thank you! My other side doesn’t have any flowers but I’m thinking of planting some roses along the fence.

I had some fun early in the morning last week.





These last two were in the shade of the back yard, early in the morning and in the shade, as you might imagine these are darkish, but I like the effect.

First the promise,



And then how it will look later in the day, obviously not the same bud, but one that hatched the day before.

I have a potted Orchid. These plants often seem to get the better of me ie no flowers some years.
This year Woo Hoo, I have counted 11 spikes. A record for me!

Oh my goodness what lovely gardens everyone has. It is uplifting just loooking at the photos!
@lissyflo no such thing as over doing it they are going to look fantastic when they come out! Are you in the UK - my alliums are at the same stage!
@Wink stunning tulips! What are the little white flowers?
@Austina what a lovely verdant bed!

 

[meely]

Some of mine. The wisteria is just coming out. The bright green cotinus is just coming out so it's branches look a little sparse but the colour is amazing. My tulips are a bit of a mix in this border and some of them are going over now but in the sun they look pretty good. The last photo is a dry shady border but it looks amazing (not my planting don't want to sound big headed!) despite needing a little work from me.

@meely - yes, I’m in the UK too! The last week of sun has started to bring everything out beautifully. I love that you can spot which country someone’s from by stage of flower development. And your flower beds look amazing!

Hope it is OK to share just one more cherry tree. This one is spectacular. We saw it during one of our bike rides this week. Magnificent and cherrylicious in every way. I am sad the cherry tree season is fading and all the petals are falling but it is like a lovely pink snow all over the ground. A romantic sea of petals. I will try to capture a photo of that today during our bike ride if I can but in the meantime here is my last cherry tree of the season to share with you lovely PSers.

Thank you! It looked very English and the goals helped too!

Yes, hard to disguise the plastic tat of two young boys! They add a certain something to the garden....

I named you just now in the UK get together thread, so it pops up in your notifications. The thread is in a part of the site I never usually look at, so I thought I’d mention it in case you haven’t seen the thread.

Ha ha yep we have plenty of small child paraphernalia in our garden too! I will take a look on the other thread!

Good evening Austina!

Right now, I have exactly one bloom in my garden. It’s a hot papaya echinacea.

 

[redwood66]

I had a tad bit of money left over for my b-day and so I put this together for the front door. I love this pot.

Wow - I've never seen that variety! I'll have to keep an eye out for it in local nurseries!

I think you live close to me. If it helps, I got it at the Fair Oaks Blvd nursery last year.

LOL - I think you think right! I dont't think I've been to that nursery yet... unless it's one that's changed hands? I'll have to check it out!

As promised a carpet of cherry petals.



It was snowing beautiful cherry petals during part of our ride yesterday. That's the kind of snow I can enjoy without freezing.

(sorry for the blurry photo-taken while in motion cycling).
