Today, you get three Memes for the price of one.
Wordless Wednesday, brought to us by Sandee at Comedy Plus.
Garden Bloggers Bloom Day (in its final year), brought to us by Carol at May Dreams Gardens. This is where flower gardeners from all over the world post what's blooming in their yards and/or homes on the 15th of each month.
Finally, the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, brought to us by some intrepid bloggers and many devoted participants.
My A to Z theme is Beauty of our Land, and today I celebrate the beauty of spring and my flower gardens. with all three memes.
So, without further ado, let's explore the beauty of spring by exploring what is blooming in my yard. Yes, spring is here. My flowers are back in my zone 6a Southern Tier of New York garden, as we are experiencing warmer than normal temperatures this week and flowers are popping faster than I can keep track of them. Sadly, this means they will be gone too soon, also, but at least we have them.
First, a spring ephemeral, a native plant called bloodroot. It's called an ephemeral because it blooms for perhaps four days and then is gone. So why grow it? Because. I used to have more but only one little patch remains. And yesterday, it was on day five. So, I am counting it for Garden Bloggers Bloom Day because it's precious.
What else?
Species tulip.
Brunnera thrives in my shady backyard - perhaps too well. Its blue blooms are welcome in early spring.
Jonquils. They started blooming about 10 days ago.
Grape hyacinth.
Purple Lenten rose.
My early (some years too early) white Lenten Rose (on its way out).
My first daffodils opened yesterday.
Finally, one of my pansy baskets. I made up two of them this year.
Do you have flowers blooming in your home or yard?
Join me again tomorrow for the letter N.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I like all the spring flowers - in fact, there aren't many flowers I don't like.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, I'm in the camp that even one day flowers are worth the space!

ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Ah, spring has sprung. Yay.
ReplyDeleteI forgot again, but I did post flowers today, so I'll go link it! Yours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose are really pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have Bloodroot growing in your yard! It's such a beautiful native flower in the woods, even if short-lived. Ants spread these plants-- they like to take them to their nests to eat the coating of their seeds, then the seeds sprout in a place away from the original plant. Maybe your plants will spread further eventually. Your other plants are lovely too!
ReplyDeleteOh, you have some beauties blooming there! The Hellebores are so special, aren't they? I have a purple/maroon one, too, and I just love it. But I love them all!
