Showers And Flowers



The front yard garden is awfully lush, and a little late, spurring what should be a fabulous late May flowering. I'm glad for the last couple days of rain because it creates a rich sense of spring and intensity of growth.

The allium prepare.

Tradescantia bloom.

Something nips the bud of grandma's rose.

And our resident invasive makes a show of it.

The chive doth bloom.

And the iris peak.

The hosta leaf out and Star-of-Bethlehem, Ornithogalum umbellatum, shines on.

  1. Good luck with the interview. Warm your voice up nicely, drink honey and lemon...eat some pea shoots. Love that last picture.

  3. I always learn something from your blog. Star-of-Bethlehem! That's what those flowers are called, had no idea what the name was! I have them growing wild on my lawn. Very cool!

  4. Meems, they're invasive type weeds. Someone gave me them a few years ago and I didn't know what they were!
