It's been raining for over a week. When the sun popped out suddenly this afternoon, we headed outside to clean up the yard and observe all the changes in our plants, trees and garden over the last couple of weeks.

| J's Apple Tree...It's Been Broken MANY Times and Keeps Growing |
 |
| A Flowering Shrub - Anyone Know the Name? LOL We're Better with WILD Plants |
 |
| Purple Trillium - Poisonous and Stinky, but Interesting |
 | |
| Common Blue Violet |
 |
| Any Ideas? Another Type of Violet? |
 |
| Crab-apple Buds |
 |
| Bleeding Hearts |
 |
| Peonies Starting |
 |
| New Growth on a Fir Tree |
 |
| Purple Lilac Buds |
 |
| Apple Tree Buds |
And in the garden some of our seeds have germinated despite the cool, soaking weather.

| I Think Jake was "Heavy-Handed" with the Oregano |
 |
| Tomato Seedling Pots |
 |
| Strawberry Flowers |
 |
| Pea Plants |
We're looking forward to some warmer, drier weather in the coming weeks! Our flowering trees and shrubs should be looking and smelling beautiful by then!
what beauty shows up in those pics!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I think the flowering shrub is a rhododendron, and the white flower you asked about is another type of violet.
ReplyDeleteThat's it, Susan! I could not remember what that plant was - rhododendron! LOL I do think the white flower is another type of Violet. Perhaps Canada Violets?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kayla!
LOVE the bleeding hearts. And yes, that shrub is a rhododendron! I have a purple one I adore!
