I'll start by saying this has been a VERY Strange Spring starting with the rain. It rained and it rained...until we had a small pond in the very back of our yard! I lost quite a few plants and some are coming up very late or are smaller than normal, but some others are larger than normal...go figure. And the bulbs that hate wet feet thrived!

Anyway, I do have a few plants in bloom to share and there are others with buds.

Welcome and please share your pics and/or stories.

1) This Crabapple just showed up one day, probably "planted" by a bird. It's using a dying shrub as a trellis. They might be somewhat aggressive, but the blossoms are pretty.

2 & 3) These are from my neighbor's Lilac shrubs. One of them hangs over their fence into our yard a little. They smell heavenly!

4 & 5) Allium 'Purple Sensation' surrounded by Salvia 'Eveline'
