When I lived in Kansas and Arkansas, it was also tornado season, but that didn't matter.
I love the rush of flowers, one after the other. This May has been wet, and also cold. The cold is actually in the flowers' favor, making them last loner.
Here are my memories of May, tracked by these flowers I've seen on various exercise walks.
Cherry blossoms on May 1 (most of these pictures were taken on the West Side of Binghamton, New York).
More tulips (my house).
My red columbine.
By May 21, the azaleas were in full bloom.
May ends with variegated weigela.
We've had so much rain. It makes me wonder - what will June bring?
What's blooming where you live?
What gorgeous photos of beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing. We're going into winter here in S.Africa, but spring flowers are everywhere! Even the floral kingdom is confused with the strange global changes. A Lesson in Communication
ReplyDeleteExcept for columbine, I don't grow any of these. But I do enjoy viewing the homes of those who do. One neighbor had two dogwoods that were spectacular and the phlox at another house was just lovely.
