What's Blooming This Week

Either Brussells Sprouts or Cabbage, Brassica oleracea
I will save seed for next year and see what I get!

Rhododendron 'Cindy'
I always think brides should use Rhodys for their bouquets.  Just the right shape and size.

Columbine, Aquilegia × hybrida
I love to let the plants go to seed just to see what new combinations happen.

I dropped a package of Shasta Daisy, Leucanthemum x superbum (AKA Chrysantemum sp.), seed in the squash bed last spring.  Imagine my delight to see these!  Did you notice the 'Jewel' on one bloom?

What's Blooming This Week

Columbine Aquilegia x hybrid

Lilac  Syringa x hybrid
This one has no fragrance at all, just gorgeous purple blooms
It was a gift from my father

One lone tulip  Tulipa x hybrid 
This is the only tulip to survive dozens planted about 20 years ago

Here's a small portion of the Candytuft on our parkway.  We have about
40 feet of it!

ETA:

Spanish Bluebells Hyacinthoides hispanica


These are growing around a hazelnut (filbert), Corylus sp. tree the blue jays planted for me.  I also see there is a dandelion I missed.
