Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day: April 2015
The garden is finally starting to awaken from the long winter.
The first to awaken were the crocuses, which have already come and gone.
These are in the front of the house, viewable only from an awkward angle looking out the dining room window. I think I may move them to a more easily-seen spot in my early spring border out back, and plant some other early bloomers to keep them company.
After the crocuses, the first real wave of early spring flowers came in: daffodils, muscari (grape hyacinth), pink and purple hyacinth, and brunnera (false forget-me-nots).
