Lots of berry producing shrubs are blooming. The crabpples bloomed also and looked so pretty but I didn't get pictures.

I wish my Viburnum would bloom. Confused I bought a pollinator last year but it is still small. Got my fingers crossed! Whistling

Wonderful show of colors in those Azaleas Rita.

Here is a shot of my neighbor's cherry tree. Seems like it was just planted a few years ago.

I divided a lot of my dwarf iris last year, so the clumps are small, but I love them all.
Thumb of 2013-05-10/stilldew/53055d
The anemone sylvesteris are blooming away. I moved them to the base of the clematis and tall lilies a few years ago and know how invasive they are, but enjoy them anyway and they aren't hard to dig up.

Thanks! The first one is Eastern Bee Baum. sorry. *Blush*

The Purple/Pink is Autumn Rose and the Blue/Purple is Athens, it does start off blue, I took that pic this morning but now it is already purple. I did not notice that before, thanks! It is the same Iris in my Avatar.

Daylily folliange is really up now. Seems like to grew just about overnight. This is the daylily garden in my backyard in front of my serviceberries. I have some late blooming tulips planted in there for spring color. But these will have to be replanted this fall as they will not return on thyeir own.

Clint, I got some of those from a neighbor. Didn't know what they were, but they spread like crazy. How long do they bloom?

They bloom about a month here. This one is variegated. I found it in my mom's plants. These are 3 years old. It's a great perennial but is spreads too much for some. Mine is in a large container on the patio.
