April 2, 2024

Spring has officially sprung. On April 2nd, I golf-carted around my lawn and took pictures of what was blooming. Looking down my driveway, I could see redbuds in full bloom as well as a greened-up willow oak. 

A closer look at the redbud shows that the crape myrtles along the road have not yet budded.

Another redbud is near the bottom driveway. The maples and the poplar tree are greening up too.

The wisteria on top of the pergola should bloom in another few weeks.

Lilacs are in bloom.

This dogwood is loaded with blooms.

Money plant and orange tulips provide a nice contrast for each other.

I used to have lots of azaleas, but many have died out through the years. This one near the deck is huge and always has lots of blooms.

This one, growing under a pin oak, is still hanging on.

Past the small azalea are redbuds.

The redbuds are doing very well this spring. Here's a close-up of some branches.

Money plant is blooming all over the place. Here it shares space with a tulip.

And here it blooms amid the irises.

Money plant always does well here.

The spirea is just starting to bloom. In a week or two it will be covered in white blossoms.

Even the holly is blooming and full of honeybees. There should be lots of berries by Christmas.

But spring will be long gone by Christmas.
