The 15th of each month is Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day
Click on the photos to see them at their best.
My white rose bloomed in April and is resting awhile, but I have three other roses blooming.
And there are a few blooms left on the Kerria japonica shrub 'Pleniflora.' It may look like a rose, but it is not.
A Clematis whose name I have forgotten
Honeysuckle is an invasive vine, but very pretty. You just have to keep it under control or it will try to take over the place! The buds are pink, but they open white. As the flowers wither they turn yellow.
Another invasive plant - Thistle.
Butterweed, a wildflower
Another wildflower, Spiderwort
And now a look at things to come...
...there are buds on the Hydrangeas!
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

YOur blooms are lovely. Honeysuckle is multi-colored. I bet it smells sweet too. Awaiting the scent of lilacs to fill the air here. Front tulips finally bloomed today. I must get a photo.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful array of flowers to start your May. Every year I make the rounds of my gardens to pull out invasive honeysuckle seedlings. They seem to be never ending.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lovely collection of roses, Lea. In contrast, I only have one that's cooperating with me this month.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! Love the red and white striped rose!
ReplyDeleteSome of the weeds have beautiful flowers too...like the thistle! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms! Invasive or not.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Lea!
ReplyDeleteI did not know thistle was invasive. I though it was a native wildflower. Learned something today.
