The First Clematis Flower of the Year

June 10, 2014

I was taking a walk through the garden, checking for new growth and was very happy with what I found! The Lilacs and Clematis are budding and leaves (Gladiolas)? are busting through the soil! Yay!

Spring is Springing

Some light lavender clematis sunning themselves in the backyard. They are in full bloom!

Over the past few days, our second clematis vine (on the left side of the arch) has flowered. It’s funny how much different this side is from the other. The blooms are not as bountiful on this side and the leaves are much more dainty.

The lilac that we saved from next door last year (or was it two years ago?) gave us beautiful flowers this past spring but has, sadly, developed a bit of an infection as of late. Momma did a bit if research and says that it…

There are three new flowers on the cusp of opening in the back right flower bed. These are the roses that are a pale peach in colour. There are ridiculously tall!

It’s always lovely when the roses start to bloom. Our first bush never fails to give us flowers first – three are out today! The amount of buds on this bush today are unreal!

The first clematis to bloom this year is neither of the ones growing on our arbor – it’s one that the neighbours took out years ago. It’s coming back now beautifully on our side. This is one of the first beautiful flowers.

Our climbing hydrangea is giving us some beautiful little flowers (the lady at Royal Botanical Gardens) told us that rarely happens in its first year. Now we just have to figure out where to plant it.

Look! It’s the first bleeding heart if the year. So cool! It’s a bit windy today so it’s a miracle that I was able to get a good shot.

We’re on our a way to Royal Botanical Gardens but I wanted to check out the garden before we left. It is fun to see the lilacs starting to bloom. It is especially neat to see the one just beside the backdoor blooming because we…

Today, the bearded iris is in bloom in our garden. This year, only one is up so far and the others bulbs are still just in leaf state – no bloom stem in sight. We might dig up that side of the garden in favour…
