This is such a beautiful time here in NY and on the east coast......perennial gardens everywhere are waking up from their winters sleep. My perennial garden is bursting open with lots of happy green leaves, stems and buds to let me know the colorful blooms are not far away. I was outside this morning taking lots of photos and leafing through photos from last year so I can compare the garden as it is awakening now, to the garden in full bloom.
These are some of my Hydrangeas (one of my favorite flowers to paint) in full bloom.
These are my Hydrangeas from this mornings photographs. The green leaves are starting to emerge from their winters rest.
Purple....................
White &..................................
pink Clematis from last years photos.
My Clematis from this mornings garden adventure....the leaves and buds are emerging everywhere.
Lamb's Ear.....as you can see, bumble bees love this plant.
My Lamb's Ear is poking through the ground, showing me a glimpse of what is to come.
My Irises are a real favorite of mine and come mid May, they are in full bloom....purple and......
my favorite color Bearded Iris, PINK!! To me these wonderful flowers smell like the sweet tarts I used to eat when I was a kid.
A view of the Iris patch.
My Irises' leaves were standing nice and tall this morning....growing, growing, growing.
Som of my favorite June bloomers.......Lilies.
All in a wonderful array of colors, with the sweetest fragrances.
This morning the Lily collection was looking up toward the sun, trying to get bigger every day. I hope you've enjoyed my garden awakening and hopefully you are finding things to enjoy in your own yard as well. I took so many photos that the rest will have to wait until next time. Until then, ENJOY SPRING!!!
