March Flowers 2023

 The spring flowers on my property were putting on a show the other day: tulips, dogwood, redbud, lilacs, and forsythia, oh my!

Spring has officially sprung.

Signs of Spring 2021

 These are some of the blooms I've seen in my yard during April and May:

This weeping cherry was planted by the birds years ago.

Two more weeping cherries the birds planted.

When I planted this forsythia, it was just a stick.

I bought this cherry tree at a plant sale years ago.
The cherries are small and not good to eat.

Wisteria I planted on the gazebo a decade ago.

This lilac started from a slip I dug up on my farm.

Rose of Sharon

Rose of Sharon bushes abound in my yard. When I moved here in 1999, there were none. I transplanted one from my house in Roanoke, bought another at K-Mart for 25¢, and Mama gave me one from her yard. Through the years, those Rose of Sharon bushes have taken off. Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago:

Bees and hummingbirds love these flowers.
