Flowering

Our yard has a lot of flowering trees in the spring.  We have our two crabapples (pink in the backyard and white in the front yard).

 

 In the backyard we have three flowering lilac bushes (light purple, darker purple and white)

In the backyard we have some Lily of the Valley planted.  It’s finally starting to spread.  When we got some transplants from a friend of mine she said they were invasive.  Great!  We wanted them to spread a lot in the bare mulched area.  Alas they don’t like it as much here.   

 We have lots of yellow bearded Iris’.  There was a big overgrown patch by our front door and we moved about half of them to the back yard.

Our honeysuckle that we planted two years ago.  Each year it buds up more.

What flowering beauties do you have to share today?  :)

    We’ve got some similar taste in spring flowers! That honeysuckle is amazing, I didn’t know it came in that color. So gorgeous, thanks for the flowery theme today.

    My SIL in Colorado just planted a lilac bush in backyard this past weekend. I think they have the most wonderful smell in the world.

    Unfortunately, my yard is bereft of flowers. So I walk around to the neighbors and the botanic gardens and enjoy those instead. Gardening is one of those things I can’t seem to find time for right now.

    So my post is up here:

    weird, I typed my whole comment and hit submit and it just disappeared! Anyway, I love your garden flowers! They are gorgeous! I’d probably kill them if they were left in my care.

    You have such a lovely garden! I’m probably the least knowledgeable on botany but I have a couple blooms in my yard. I have no idea what this is… can anyone tell me? It’s a tall bush-like plant and the petals on the flower are fairly thick and waxy-like.

    Here’s the one that I really wanted to link but I was using my laptop earlier, which didn’t have this image. My lilacs aren’t nearly as beautiful as yours Stacy!

    Drat! I have so many photos that I could have shared for this. But I’ve been doing everything on the fly the last few weeks and didn’t get a chance to drop in. Your flowers are beautiful. I really miss Lilly of the Valley’s! I don’t see them much around here, but we had them around our house in Michigan when I was growing up.
