What's blooming today?
Wordless Wednesday
This is a photo of Johnson’s Blue Geraniums. It’s a hardy perennial geranium.
I posted about this flower recently and I said that my geraniums have been looking more purple than blue lately.
I took the photo above a in May last year. Perhaps these geraniums are bluer in the cool spring weather and darker or more purple in color later in the season? Either that or perhaps my soil composition changed last year. I guess I’ll have to do a soil test.
I love scented spring flowers, don’t you?
I believe that the Hyacinth is one of the strongest scented spring flowers. They’re lovely scent is so strong that if I have the kitchen window open just a little bit when the flowers are blooming in the back garden I can sometimes smell the scent in my living room at the front of the house!
Hyacinths come in many colors. You can get white, red, blue, purple, coral/peach and several other different colors. Rather than buying packages of bulbs with mixed colors I prefer to buy separate packages of bulbs with specific colors so that I can coordinate them in the garden beds. Placing certain colors beside other spring flowers that they will compliment.
I know the Spring is still a long way off so I’ll have to wait patiently for my hyacinths to bloom.
