Been getting ready for Spring over the last two weeks. Last weekend I pruned the roses and this weekend and last I planted some Spring flowers, bulbs of Freesia, Lily of the Valley pips and scattered some seeds around. Here is how the garden is looking:
Alyssum, Stock, Daisy, Lavender, Mint

Foxgloves. My absolute favorite.
Hyacinth -- smells so good and always reminds me of Easter at my Grandmother's house.
Daffodil - It wouldn't be Springtime without these
Delphinium
Helleborus
Scattered some of these plus Moonflower and another collection called Fairy Garden.













































What a treat for these winter-weary eyes to see all your blooms! You're making me anxious to get out and plant something. Actually, very soon I will be scattering some larkspur and poppy seeds across the snow; they do best for me when I plant them this way. Happy Bloom Day!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm grateful to be living in Southern California. I grew up in Pennsylvania with snow and I know how anxious I would get for Spring.
