Garden Beauties

                 Happy weekend!

                 I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

      After doing some garden chores I took

       some close up shots in the garden since

it is a calm overcast day.

         The lupins are just starting to bloom and I love 

           that they grow wild here in fields and ditches as

well as Growing in our garden.

These centura or penennial

          bachelors button seed themselves

                   around the garden. The bees love them.

My early peonies from my

Dad's garden are getting

close to opening.....love

my peonies!

The bleeding hearts are blooming

as well.

    Late tulips and alliums.

                                                                           The rhodo's are just starting
                                                                           as well.

                                                                                 More pretty tulips.

                                                                             This tulip is very
                                                                              unusual ...not sure
                                                                             what it will look like
                                                                             when it opens.

                Alliums also self seed rather freely

and I love them!

                                                Hope you enjoyed some close up
                                                           beauties from our garden. I will be
                                                           back soon with a balcony tea time.

                                                                            Thanks for visiting!
