I love this time of year, when something new is blooming every time I visit the garden. I am fortunate to be able to view my pink tree peony (I am too lazy to look up the name, which I have recorded somewhere) from my kitchen window. A few days ago, a bud began to swell, and was quite large when I left for work yesterday. When I returned home, the flower was open.
How gorgeous is that?
I have another tree peony, with pure white blooms, but I managed to plant it so that it is hiding behind a bush, and not visible from the kitchen window. So I'll need to visit it often, to make sure I don't miss the blooms.
I love my bleeding heart, which after a number of years, is finally taking hold, and produced a lot of blooms this year. I like this branch. It made me think of hearts, and love, and how it can be up and down sometimes.
Today it suddenly turned to rain, after a long (more than a week) stretch of dry warm weather in Vancouver. So now it feels more like Spring again. I'm glad for the garden, I think it needed a bit of watering.
