Sunday is my day of rest but on this beautiful sunny day I am enjoying looking through some of my garden photos from last year and thought you might enjoy seeing some of my flowering shrubs.Lilacs above.
Deutizia
Korean lilac standard
Opps! more Deutizia and I have forgotten the variety but I think they are all beautiful
we have over 40 lilac bushes in our garden-many are still young but each year they will become more beautiful
White spirea I think it is Thor and Wine and Roses Wergelia
I love mock oranges and have many different varieties-they are so fragrant!
crabapples are also beautiful
I love the many different varieties of hydrangeas also- they are easy care and long blooming and oh so beautiful.
Annebelle hydrangea blooms are so reliable in our zone 5b garden
In the Fall the Euonymus alatus or burning bush adds beauty to the garden.
The Limelight hydrangea is one of my favorites.
I hope you enjoyed coming along on my restful tour!
Carolyn
Wonderful !!!!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I would love to sit in your garden and enjoy a cup of sweet tea while reading a good book. I know the scents would be intoxicating. I adore lilacs and used them in my wedding a few years ago. What a gorgeous garden you have.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is gorgeous and picture perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures but you've given me a bad case of spring fever!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful beautiful, beautiful!!!Do you open your garden for public viewing? We have something here called the National Garden open scheme:- http://www.ngs.org.uk/
ReplyDeleteNot that I could come, rather a long way for a day trip!!
Please just keep posting the photographs, I love them, Jackie in UK.
Absolutely breathtaking! I only wish that the Lilacs would do well here. Unfortunately it's too hot in our zone 7. We do however get to enjoy the crepe myrtles. No sweet scents though.
