Ask me what my favorite season is and before you can finish asking the question I’ll tell you it’s summer. I’m a summer girl. I like summer activities, summer food, summer cocktails, summer nights and summer gardens.
But I have to admit, like a cat with an attitude who deems your lap worthy of laying on once a week and once eeked out a 2-second purr, spring is starting to worm its way into this gardener’s heart.
How could I not appreciate how Mother Nature has managed to provide so much beauty while I’ve been busy cleaning out beds (yep, still working on clean up here)?
I managed to get off the gardening hamster wheel long enough to take in some of that beauty and snap a few photos along the way.

These photos are beautiful. So hard to capture plants when you have to get down to their level and deal with all the light issues.
Wow, glorious spring blooms!! I planted bloodroot this spring but have yet to see it emerge….I’m afraid I may have gotten duds!!
Hang in there! Even if it doesn’t do well this year, I bet it will be happy next year.
Each season has it’s own beauty. i just try to enjoy whatever I am in. I haven’t seen my one little bloodroot (shared by a friend). I will have to go look for it.
Peace
That double bloodroot is stunning. I didn’t realize Virginia bluebells would spread so much. I am excited to hear it!
Careful what you wish for, I started with a couple of plants and now have them covering everything. Pretty? yes, but a nuisance after they are finished blooming. A little goes a long way.
You have to give thanks for spring as she slowly awakens the garden.
