Garden Blogger's Bloom Day

Embarrassing.  

One thing blooming today.


But there' potential for a little more . . .

   
. . . before long.  

:-)

Begun by Carol of May Dreams Gardens,
this meme has been around for a long while
and is enjoyed by many!

Have a great day!

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day

Visit Carol at May Dreams Gardens
to view her beautiful post and see who else is participating today!

But for now, take another walk around my yard. You'll see things I've not shown before.
My gardens are becoming full to overflowing! :-)

wild ginger Asarum canadensis --- the plants

and the blossoms


A Spring Song

Old Mother Earth woke up from her sleep,
And found she was cold and bare;
The winter was over, the spring was near,
And she had not a dress to wear.
"Alas," she sighed, with great dismay,
"Oh, where shall I get my clothes?"
There's not a place to buy a suit,
And a dressmaker no one knows."


"I'll make you a dress," said the springing grass,
Just looking above the ground,



"A dress of green of the loveliest sheen,
To cover you all around."


"And we," said the dandelions gay,
"Will dot it with yellow bright."



"I'll make a fringe," said forget-me-not,
"Of blue, very soft and light."

pulmonaria 'Diana Clare'
L to R: Dicentra 'Gold Heart,' Pulmonaria 'Milky Way,' and Virginia Bluebells

"We'll embroider the front," said the violets,
"With a lovely purple hue!"


Dianthus 'Fire Watch'

"And we," said the roses, "will make you a crown
Of red, jeweled over the dew."


Redbud tree

Barbie's tree - Malus 'Sargentii' aka Sargent Flowering Crabapple
'Mohawk' Viburnum burkwoodii

"And we'll be your gems," said a voice from the shade,


tiarella 'Iron Butterfly'

Where the ladies' eardrops live ---
"Orange is the color for any queen
And the best we have to give."


looking back towards the raised beds...

Old Mother Earth was thankful and glad,
As she put on her dress so gay;


Bergenia

Primula - Chinese Primrose - 'Primadiente Rose'

And that is the reason, my little ones,
She is looking so lovely today.


tulip 'Shirley' (I think)
unnamed double daffodils

Happy Spring and Happy Garden Blogger's Bloom Day for April 2010! :-)

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - January 2010

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day

It's the time when we get to see what is blooming everywhere...
This is the brainchild of Carol at May Dreams Gardens.

On the 15th day of every month, you are invited to show What's Blooming at your house.
Sometimes that's hard...
But there's always something colorful to show, somehow or somewhere.
:-)

Thank you for visiting! After you finish, head over to Carol's via the link above. You can see what's blooming there. Next, look to see who else has posted (look at the comments at her site) and visit their blogs. :-)

Blossoms at Shady's?

I keep forgetting to ask Joan the name of this begonia!
We purchased them at the same time... and she's the one
that remembers the name.

The kalanchoe is so healthy-looking... and it's decided to bloom again.

My Christmas Cacti are getting buds again. (The dark pink one is always first.)

The "Snow birds" of Iowa.
(These are the ones that stay here!)




Happy Bloom Day!
