| Bleeding heart and flowering currant |
We've had more than the average rainfall for the whole month of April so far this month, and it seems like plants are behind in growing and blooming. But I checked last year and it was pretty similar - and there's actually a lot in bloom, especially since I've been adding bulbs every year. Tulips and crocuses fade away after a few years, or get eaten by the squirrels, but daffodils multiple nicely and I'm experimenting with the lesser known bulbs.
Thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens for hosting the monthly roundup of blooms.
I especially love how many native plants are growing and blooming!
