April showers bring...
Er... bring.... (checks calendar)...
...Okay, so if you rely on proverbs, some flowers are just a wee bit ahead of their time.
But let's not tell 'em, shall we? Because we know a true lady likes to arrive just a teensy bit after the party has started, anyway.
As you can see, the daffs are dillies this year... Very lacy and bright. And those azaleas I was so worried about just a week or so ago?...
...Have never looked better! So vivid and pinkish-purple, you'd think they never felt a snowy crystal upon their petals.
And the Grape Hyacinth? Well, anyone who's watched "Keeping Up Appearances" knows a Hyacinth is one very resilient gal...
Why, look at that bouquet!
And then some treasures are promises to come. Like these bleeding hearts. You can just see the hearts beginning to take form there on the right...
And the first buds of the mossy phlox...
The front yard is just beginning to the bloom, and the backyard is color to come. In a few weeks, it'll be a dazzling display of pale blues, lavenders and pinks!
And then... then there are the ones that plant themselves.
Who is this bit of greenery with the pink buds? I have no idea. It was not planted by my hand. Perhaps Mother Nature would care to weigh in? Do the leaves look a bit like Verbena?
No idea. But I think I'll leave it as it's planted, at least for a while. Who am I, after all, to tell Lady Spring I know better than she does?
