Pick of the day - Virginia Bluebells. A springtime favorite.

Lovely ,
My bluebells are finished

My pick of the day are the locust trees for the fantastic smell. It is perfume for the whole yard.

too many iris to choose from

It is a combination of my front yard, I call it "My flowers, city property"

Etelka ,
you have a lot of color there .
What is the light blue?






Today's bright spot

annual bidens

Hi Cinda, the blue in the middle is Salvia, here it is a perennial, and I love your bidens, I have discovered them first time this year.

The bee balm has taken center stage here

Cinda ! Love to walk your garden through pictures. So nice this time of year.
For me it's lavender harvesting time. I will cut budded stems, tie up small bundles & hang on a rack in my garden shed to dry. The scent is long-lasting and special.

Beautiful lavender
What do you do with it?
soap , cookies , sachets ?

Today's bloom






My button bush is in full bloom and everyone loves it

Cinda, after lavender dries, I pass it out to people need a boost. Who could frown after inhaling lavender's scent.
Love the buttons! Wonder if they would be hardy in zone 4?

Looked up hardiness of the buttons our database says 5a , sorry

today I choose the cone flower Cheyenne spirit

Ooooo, beautiful. I got Cheyenne as a gift from a fellow gardener last year. It is a luminescent beauty in the early morning light.

Could you have too many trumpet lilies?

Filipendula rubra
