Monthly Meme - Garden Bloggers Bloom Day #AtoZChallenge

For 10 years now (this coming June, I believe) I've been participating in Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, a monthly meme.  On the 15th of each month, flower gardeners from all over the world (and I Mean that literally) show what is blooming in their yards and/or houses.

In my zone 5b yard in the Southern Tier of New York State, we have gone from garden famine to garden feast in one month, although snow is forecast for tonight (hiss boo!).  In fact, some of my flowers are already gone - crocuses and my earliest jonquils.  

But it's time for a massive celebration, as flowers are back in force!  Where do I even start?

Lenten Rose. My white one has finished blooming and now my purple one is in its prime.

Here's a new one I purchased back in March, in golden hour light.

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is a member of the poppy family.  Its flowers are so short lived alas - another day and they probably would have been gone.  This low growing shade loving native plant is so welcome as an early bloomer.

Brunnera.  I have two types.  This is Jack Frost, a variegated variety.

Non-variegated.  Both have tiny blue flowers, which I like putting into small bouquets.

 My one trillium, which must be going on 10 years old. I bought it at a plant sale in Ithaca, New York. Its flower has never opened.  Will this be the year?

Primrose.  We got these plants years ago from my late mother in law.  These must be an old fashioned variety, but reliably bloom each year.

Part of spring are the wonderful flowers that sprout from bulbs and corms.

Hyacinths.  My white one isn't included - it isn't fully open.

Daffodils.

Grape hyacinths are just now coming up.
 

Species tulip. (the first of my other tulips should open soon).

And the annuals.  First, pansies.  A couple of these were fall planted and are blooming now.  The others were purchased a week ago.

Petunias.

Violas.

Finally, blooming indoors, is a small pot of Bravo Impatiens, waiting for the last frost date for planting outside.   Or maybe not, they seem so happy indoors on a north window. These came from cuttings I took in the fall.

Thanks go once again to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting this Monthly Meme.  Why not follow this link and read some other beautiful blooming blogs?
