Garden Bloggers Bloom Day May 2025

Spring has arrived in my zone 6a garden in the Southern Tier of New York.  Or, should I say, it's been shot out of a cannon?  That's how it's been:  one flower after another, boom boom boom!  And many of the flowers haven't lasted long, either, due either to the weather being either too warm or rainy.  But other flowers are soaking it up.

Shall we peek outside and see what's blooming today?  

Our tree peony flowers are just starting to open.

Euphorbia is in full bloom. 

Violets are hanging on.

These are, or were, orange.

White and orange

Then, there are the almost-done-but-hung-on for GBBD flowers, like the last of my late daffodils.

But so many of my spring flowers didn't make it, even my lilacs, although one lilac hung on.  My purple lilacs were disappointing this year, and I'm not sure why. 

In my sideyard (very shady), cranesbill geranium. 

Star of Bethlehem, which I never planted but showed up several years ago, being choked out by vinca.

In the back, another resident wildflower I never planted, yellow Corydalis.

We all dream about May, we in this clime, when the flowers bloom and the weather (maybe) finally becomes springlike.
