Bloom Day is the 15th of each month… and that’s exactly when I took these photos, even though today’s post is dated the 24th. Heh.
My Zone 6 garden is well on its way to waking up from winter, despite a slow start to the spring. In the week since I took these photos, many more blooms have opened up — including my one of my favorites, the tree peony. But, since we’re talking Bloom Day and not today, I’ll keep my photos to the ones I actually took on the 15th.
I’m actually not sure what this last bloom is — I didn’t plant it, so either the wind or a little woodland friend of some kind brought it to my Early Spring Border. Its single stalk of white flowers was certainly welcome, though, and I hope it spreads!
(I also hope this isn’t a case of Be Careful What You Wish For, like back when I thought garlic mustard was pretty in a woodland setting… and then it started growing in my beds as a weed.)
May into June is my favorite time of year in general, but especially in the garden, when everything is in bloom (or at least thinking about it). I’m so looking forward to what the coming weeks bring!
