I wandered my gardens on this chilly morning & discovered lots of potential for an amazing summer in the garden & views from the patio.

Thank you for joining in this month Marie-Lou, it is lovely seeing our gardens coming to life and your tulip certainly is cheery! I like the water drops on your spurge and how gardens are a place for surprise and enjoyment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandie. I have June 5th already marked in the calendar. :)
DeleteI love poppy flowers so I'll be waiting to see how your white one looks when it flowers. We're just heading into winter in New Zealand and while I like snuggling up in front of the fire I'd rather be enjoying spring again LOL Shell xx
ReplyDeleteHi Shell - thanks for visiting. As I enjoy spring's arrival I will think of you & Mike snuggling with Toby & Nivea :)
DeletePeonys are one of my favourites. It's such a joy to see new growth x
ReplyDeleteI have counted 7 buds on the tree peony, which for this type of peony (especially mine) is going to be all flower, no room for foilage :)
DeleteOh that cherry tulip is lovely! Looks like so much promise for a beautiful garden. I am loving my sunflowers right now and thinking I might need to put another round of seeds in the ground soon - before it gets too hot.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the lovely comment you left on my blog yesterday, Mary-Lou! xo
You are most welcome Deb. I will start sunflowers later in the week for planting out after May 24th.
DeleteI just finished my 5 in 5 post, having done exactly what you've done here. I was happy to find five blooming specimens. That tulip is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I cannot believe the chill that is still around.
Delete"Leopard's Bane" is a very interesting name. I wonder where that came from
ReplyDeleteGood question, so I looked it up. Leopard's-bane is thus named because all the plants in this genus were once thought to be poisonous to animals. The genus is from an old Arabic name for the flower
DeleteDefinitely lots of potential for a wonderful summer there! Hope you are having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa. Sitting with tea on the patio doing the finalizing of the Summer Manifesto is on the agenda for Sunday ...
