Spring Flowers

It is really starting to feel like spring here. The temperatures are pleasantly mild, the pollen is is unpleasantly high (for those of us with seasonal allergies), and the unexpected rains have made for some wonderful spring blooms.

Here is a round up of current blooms in the backyard:

This is a creeping phlox (stolonifera) that we recently planted. It is a great shade plant, and it is native!















The red bud tree blooms in the front yard:

We have a few dogwood trees in the back:

The dandelions are starting to peep through the leaf liter:

We have one azalea bush that surprised us with pink flowers. We are going plant more azalea bushes in the fall. There are a lot of azaleas that are native to this area that come in a variety of colors. To see a few check out this link and scroll down to the Rhododendron listings.



















The blueberries are also in bloom, we look forward to having some ripe berries to snack on a few weeks from now.
