There is lots to see, so get out and start looking around - I find these tiny buds and blooms even more interesting than the leafed-out plant.
First off, the rose by the front door decided to go green in the past two days:
Rose - Apr 11 |
Liberty elm - Apr 11 |
The forsythia, as could be expected, is all ready to burst into its yellow extravaganza:
Forsythia - Apr 11 |
I have lots of different viburnums (viburnae?), but this is the most interesting bud I saw:
Mohawk viburnum - Apr 11 |
Weeping Katsura - Apr 11 |
The sedum, with its warm spot next to the brick wall, seems to be further along than most things:
Sedum - Apr 11 |
The cherry trees are getting ready to get all pink; my cherry blossom festival is a week or so away yet, I think:
Cherry - Apr 11 |
And last, but not least, my red maple is working very hard to get ahead of the rest of his fellow trees:
Red maple - Apr 11 |
My apologies to the purists who would like to see the latin names for all these, but I would rather you just enjoy the mysterious re-creation of all these plants in the spring! To coin a phrase - What's in your garden?
