| Forget-me-not |
I was working in the back yard on Sunday and realized that there was no sign of the forget-me-nots that usually bloom in one little section along the fence. Then on Monday, there they were! They're mixed in with purple dead nettle, which I think is a lovely combination.

The small anemones in my front yard have been blooming for weeks, now the big ones in the back yard are just starting. I didn't keep track of what the small ones are, but these are anemone coronaria 'Mr. Fokker'.

Lilacs are just barely starting to bloom, mostly the ones that are higher up on the bushes and not shaded as much by our house. They will be in full bloom and the front porch will smell lovely by next week.

My two apple trees are now in full bloom. I tend to favor blues and purples, but I love the pink as the apple blooms are about to open.

The geraniums that I'm letting grow wild on the lower section of the rose garden are starting to bloom too. I think these are geranium robertianum, which are somewhat invasive, but they're pretty and small so I'm taking the chance of letting them grow.

I finally figured out how to get an in focus picture of rosemary. This plant has been blooming for at least three months now and still has new buds.

Oregon grape bushes have had blooms for months too, some of the blooms are done but now the tops (which get the most sun) are turning almost purple.
