Monday

May and June in my yard.

"May and June"
 
Soft syllables, gentle names for the two best months in the garden year: cool, misty
mornings gently burned away with a warming spring sun, followed by breezy afternoons and chilly nights. 
The discussion of philosophy is over; it's time for work to begin." 

-   Peter Loewer   
I believe he is talking about the weeds!
I took a stroll through my garden today
clicking my camera away
The new buds and blooms
kissed by the rain
How I love the spring
and yes, everything you see
was planted by me




This one plant, the "Diana Rose" was my
friend's "Ingrid"
She is watching from above 


 The Trumpet Tree
survived freezing
although my camera did not do it justice

The gardenia is blooming 


Bird feeder swaying

 Hawaiian Hoya

She protects my deck

The day lilly
the dirty bird bath
it's usually full of crows

Bleeding hearts in bud

Orchids bursting out

Oregano is doing well

 Zinnias with their first flower
started from seeds

Grapefruit for breakfast tomorrow

I could go on and on but the last one
I need to show is the 'Ginger'
and my little lady
she watches over it all


May your gardens flourish
as your heart smiles

I'm linking to

Wow, you can grow such interesting things where you are that I can't- grapefruit, orchids (outside!), and that Hawaiian plant is wonderful! I hope you'll share your garden with us at the Tuesday Garden Party over at AnOregonCottage.com - we'd love to see more. :-)

I love the way your beautiful statues have been placed around your garden. Everything looks so lovely. I wish I could grow roses-yours are gorgeous.

Best wishes,

Your Diana rose is magnificent - so happy you have something to remember your friend by.

Grapefruits?! Green with envy - I want to live somewhere where I can have my very own citrus trees (one day)!

So glad you joined our Outdoors party!
