In the Garden – Blooms

I found this little beauty blooming, in spite of the fact that it was hidden underneath my hydrangea.
When I planted this last year,
it became dinner for a hungry bunny.
To my surprise it’s back, small but determined.
My new Alpine Poppy continues to bloom.
A snapdragon blooming in the middle of my lilies.
This is year three for these stunning lilies.

Spring Flowers

We’ve had a very warm spring so far with lots of rain and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to buy plants to add to my garden of 2026.

If you know you know. 🌺🌹🌸

I bought 5 new perennials – Delphinium, Bleeding Heart, Champagne Bubbles Iceland Poppy, Columbine and Dianthus. After a heavy rainstorm last night I got them in the ground this morning while it was cool and damp. It felt good to put my hands in the dirt.

The next time you see these beauties they will be in full bloom, stay tuned…

In my garden

After being on vacation for a week, I came back my garden bursting with blooms.

Then there’s my beloved Peony Tree that I moved from my home of many years to my new one nearly three years ago. It’s so beautiful I had to give it its own gallery of multiple photos.

In the Garden this week

For the last week Michigan weather has been a bit erratic with lots of rain, sun, gloomy, very hot then cooler than usual – and very windy. It’s hard to photograph flowers with the wind whipping them to and fro. Early today, before the wind picked up I went for it and captured these beauties.

In the Garden – Spring Blooms

Michigan had a fairly gentle winter and early spring making me excited about the flowers already blooming in my garden. I brought some plants from my old garden when I moved in 2022 adding a few new ones in 2023. This year have added a peony, 2 iris, 5 columbine and 2 violas. Not having the garden space I once had, I’ve created an “herb garden” with a cluster of mixed pots of my favorite herbs.

I’m sharing a few photos of what’s blooming now with more to come over the summer, stay tuned….
