The Red Bud tree I planted two years ago has finally shown its color. The photo at right was taken a couple days before it really popped. I love this early spring garden, bare as it appears, because the creeping phlox is hot pink and contrasts so nicely with the tender, spring green of the daylily leaves and pony tail grasses.
The Lady Banks rose on the arbor is just beginning to flower and should look spectacular this year. You can just see the weeping cherry in the left side of the photo. The grass is still crisp and brown but we've turned on the sprinkler system and it'll be healthier in no time.
The holly bushes near the house foundation are full of bees. Not the stingy ones--the big fat friendly ones that love Spanish lavender. Something smells good in the garden, but I can't figure out what it is. The holly?
Azaleas are beginning to bloom. Spring is a truly hopeful time of year.
