It is such a joy when Spring arrives and the flowers and trees begin to bloom here in Western Kentucky where we live.
Forsythia with their bright yellow blooms are the first signs of spring in our yard. Did you know it has the common name of Easter tree.
The jonquils are also early bloomers in our area. Seems like I had more blooms this year than last.
The jonquils make lovely arrangements for the table.
The bearded iris just started blooming this week in my flower bed; the deep purple color is just stunning. So showy!
You can see the buds on the azalea just behind the iris starting to open.
We had frost a few nights ago; I covered my azaleas (and lots of other plants and shrubs) with sheets trying to keep the buds from freezing. Looks like my precautions saved the buds.
Creeping phlox are blooming. They have five-star blooms that can reach an inch across.
Our dogwoods are young trees and have rewarded us with white blooms and pink blooms.
Thanks for stopping by to see the blooms in my Western Kentucky yard - Judy.

ReplyDeleteSpring colors are truly fantastic! I love your dogwoods. Here in New Zealand, I am contemplating planting my spring bulbs :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at 'My Corner of the World' this week!
Your garden is magnificent.
ReplyDeleteJudy - this brings back so many memories of springs in Ohio. I was always amazed how the forsythia blooms seem to emerge overnight and from branches devoid of any other life!!! Your bearded iris are spectacular! I am glad you were able to save your plants from an overnight frost. We are in the middle of a snowstorm here ... "spring" in Montana! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how sweet those Jonquils smell. They always make me think of my childhood in Arkansas. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteLuv your spring flowers
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday.
