I did a walk around our flowerbeds this afternoon to see what was in bloom. The viburnum beside the house is still in full bloom. The flowers are holding on a long time this year because of the unseasonably cool weather. The drift of scent every time we go near it is delightful.

The bleeding hearts are just starting to bloom. Soon there will be a huge mound of them flowering. Their ferny foliage is an added bonus.

The dogwood in front of our house is nearing the end of its flowering phase for this year although it is still beautiful.


We have a few of these bushes. I believe they are wild honeysuckle, but I’m not sure.



The above three areas are from the yard in front of our house.


This side of the yard has plum bushes, river birches, and a redbud tree. The green bushes in the background are royal lilacs that will bloom in a few weeks.

The narcissus are still in fully bloom. They are staying around a long time because of the cool temperatures.


And last, but not least of our flowering plants is this flowering almond tree. It is tiny, but oh so beautiful!
