I took this photo of pink hyacinths in my garden as they were just starting to bloom about three weeks ago. Unfortunately the flowers are long gone now. The weather is finally starting to warm up here in Toronto and the rest of my flowers – ones that bloom most of the summer season, all [...]
Earlier this month my daffodils were in full bloom. I have them planted near clumps of red tulips and lavender. They all look beautiful together.

This tulip has variegated (white and green) buds and leaves. I believe this tulip is the Canada Tulip. It’s bloomed now and the flowers are red and white. It’s quite a pretty plant both in bud and in bloom. Do you have an tulips that have variegated leaves or buds? Related Reading: Case Logic TBC-302 [...]
I have to buy more of this kind of hyacinth. It looks so lovely in the garden next to the rest of the other spring plants with their light green leaves. Oh and the scent!

I grow a few different varieties of daffodils so I should have some salmon colored ones coming up around mid-May unless the squirrels have dug them [...]
