Buds and Blooms (Part 3 I Guess)

I readily admit I'm obsessed.  Okay, just one more post of spring buds and blooms out in the garden.  As I weed and mulch every morning, I get waylaid by the variety and color out there right now.  So here we go again...

Buds first:

Lilac (Syringa):

Dogwood (Cornus kousa):

 Viburnum (Viburnum):

Chokeberry (Aronia 'Iriquois Beauty'):

Russian Sage (Perovskia):

Then some of the blooms:

Witch Alder (Fothergilla 'Mount Airy'):

Mock Orange (Philadelphus) - (Okay, you need to find one of these this week, just to take in the smell - it reminds me of being in Florida beside an orange grove when all the trees were in blossom):

Flowering Quince (Chaenomeles 'Cameo'):

We have a white Bleeding Heart (Dicentra):

And last but not least, Mustard (Brassica):

Enough for now, my camera finger needs a break...

But I have enjoyed the pix from other Master Gardeners.  And I hope you all are out there finding your own favorites.

Hey Bud!

The landscape is greening up and the forsythia is in bloom and it looks great out there.  I'd like to take some time and examine the details a bit.  Look closely and you'll see lots of little miracles...
