Bloom Day, May 2023

Foregoing the usual commentary for this Bloom Day in my Zone 6a/b garden. Enjoy these photos from May 15, 2023, including the tree peony and early-blooming herbaceous peony, alliums and chives, dogwood, camassia, one final late-blooming daffodil, lamium, lunaria, and variegated Solomon’s Seal.

Thanks as always to Carol Michel for hosting Garden Bloggers’ Bloom Day on the 15th of each month! As Elizabeth Lawrence said, “We can have flowers nearly every month of the year.”

Spring is a Thing

The dwarf irises have been above ground for at least a week now, visible through kitchen window, the but I only went looking for the crocuses out front this morning.

We’re expecting a few inches of wet, sloppy snow overnight, so I’m glad I haven’t done much spring cleanup yet.
