May Flowers from April Showers



One day last month the temperatures were in the 80s and I spent it outside digging in my perennial flower bed. I had not been in that flower bed since early May 2007. What a delight to see what had survived and what had not, what had flourished beyond pretty and what did not make it at all and will need replacing.

It is always a joy to see the first flowers of spring, the pasque. Mine have reached their peak and in fact are on the downhill slide.


And to my pleasure this tulip was blooming this morning. The rabbits did not get it. It has been so long since I planted things, I don't remember the colors. It will all be a surprise.
