Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, April 2024

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day (the 15th of each month) and My Corner of the World

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

My White Dogwood trees are full of blooms, but...

...my Pink Dogwood tree has only a few.

To me the blooms of the Sweet Shrub, Calycanthus, smell like apples.

The tubular blooms of the Buckeyes attract Hummingbirds!

Kerria japonica is a very sprawling shrub. I will trim it back after the blooms fade.

Coral Honeysuckle is another Hummingbird favorite.

This double Clematis always blooms first. Hopefully by next Bloom Day, the others will be blooming.

Mayapples, Podophyllum peltatum, are native wildflowers that grow in open woodlands in the eastern half of North America.

The umbrella-like leaves hide the small flowers underneath. I bought two plants in 2016. They multiply by underground rhizomes, and now I have about two dozen plants.

The bees are enjoying the White Clover!

Another native Wildflower, Lyre-leaf Sage, Salvia lyrata

Butterweeds have hollow stems and thrive in damp soil.

An aptly named tiny wildflower: Spring Beauty

Star of Bethlehem is an imported plant native to Europe and North Africa.

And indoors, an Amaryllis!
NOTE: It is more red than the orange color it appears to be in this photo.

Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

In January we had snow and sleet on the ground and below freezing temperatures for nine days. It set my flowers back several weeks. I looked at my February Bloom Day posts for the last few years. I had masses of Daffodils, but this year I have only a few buds.

Hopefully, my March Bloom Day post will be full of Daffodils!

Hellebores just laugh at cold weather!

The Spirea has only a few blooms, but I am hoping for hundreds of these tiny blooms in the next few weeks!

Spiderwort, a wildflower

Another wildflower: Thistle

Hedge - a very invasive shrub, but beautiful when it blooms.

Burr Rose

A Running Rose that climbs on everything except the trellis that I want it to be on!

And yes, my Tomatoes are blooming, too!

For a look at things to come: an Amaryllis bud in a pot on my front porch.

It is hot here in the northeast corner of Mississippi, USA (zone 7b). High temperatures this week are in the mid-90s F, and the forecast for next week is for high temperatures over 100F (38C). I get out early in the morning to enjoy my flowers before the temperature starts to rise.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, March 2022

The northeast corner of Mississippi, USA zone 7b

I have lots of Daffodils blooming.

Some are large ones like these that I think are "King Alfred" Daffodils.

Others are small Daffodils, (name unknown) that often produce two blooms on one stem.

I have two clumps of Snowflakes, Luecojum.

I have only a few Hyacinths.

My Hellebores have been in bloom since our January Bloom Day. The earlier blooms are fading, but the newer blooms still have lots of color.

Wildflowers, Spring Beauty, Claytonia virginica.

My Spirea is covered in tiny white blooms.

Forsythia is a reliable early Spring bloomer.

Flowering Quince is another early spring shrub.

Ornamental Pear Trees are valued for their beautiful blooms, but their hard, tiny fruits are not edible.
