Blooms and greenery everywhere

Posted in Blooming today, Garden Buzz, Green Thumb Sunday, Photography, The neighborhood on May 10, 2009

Every time I look out my kitchen window or go into my backyard I’m amazed at how much it’s filled in.

It seems like the plants are growing within hours … not just days! That’s one of the things I love most about Spring – how fast things change and green up.

This is a photo of one of my raised garden beds in the backyard. The “oval” as I call it separates the patio area from the lawn and garden portion of the backyard.

There are even more tulips throughout the garden beds than there were when I took that photo.

The Pasque flowers that I have in a very small area near the side of the house are blooming now too. Here’s a shot of a Pasque flower bud. The flower opened and started blooming on Thursday.

Unfortunately these flowers don’t seem to last very long so I expect they will be finished by sometime early next week. Maybe longer if the cool weather sticks around.

For a peek at my Grape Hyacinth (Muscari) and my Daffodils take a peek at my other blogs.

Wonderful pictures. I have never seen a pasque flower. Is there any season for these flowers? The Tulips are beautiful.

Wonderful pictures of tulips and pasque flower. I tried to grow pasque flowers in my garden, but it did not work out. Any special care needed for it?
