Just a quick photo update of what is blooming in my garden.

The first photo is just a look down the south-east bed which is currently full of tulips. In the foreground, there is one of many blue fescue and in front some more Johnny Jump Ups. They keep appearing and I keep digging them up and moving them to this spot.

More of the tulips I planted last fall. I filled a bag with various bulbs in my chosen colour palette (orange, red, yellow, white) and let them get mixed up before planting.


Look at those luscious red ones at the back! There is blue, purple and green in the petals. Definitely adding more of this variety this fall.

More tulips. I really like that tiny striped one on the bottom left.


Behind it you can see the long grass of the daylilies, some columbine getting ready and beside it some pretty burgundy Coral Bells.

 Hyacinth. I picked the orange-y pink but J wanted some of the blue/purple ones...they are coming up in a different part of the yard.

One of my favourites and I think quite a classy bit of green. This is Lady's Mantle. This is her second year in my shade garden and I am hoping that she blooms. Lady's Mantle gets these lovely little yellow clumps of flowers but I think she really shines when the rain beads on her leaves.






Just a few more things to do over the weekend. Decide where J's sunflower garden will go, plant another row of sweet peas along the fence, plant some of the veg and see if any of the foxglove I have started in basement are ready to move out from under the artificial light in the basement and into the real world.
