GBBD

Yay! We have stuff to show for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day! This is our first time being able to participate, so we're excited.

Thanks to our visiting friends, we know that this gorgeous flower is a Columbine.
And I think these are irises?
I'm not impressed by the catchflies, but I do love that bright color.
One marigold has started to bud. I put the rest of the bag of pine bark nuggets along the pathways between the rows of the garden. I like it.

Why is it called a Cherry Plum tree? This is why.And the best thing: New lavender blooms!!There's way more than last year!


High: 61 Low: 52, cloudy, sprinkles; Lunar Phase: Waxing Gibbous, 85% of full.

Yes, those are irises. Aren't they pretty and they should smell good, too! I love the lavender as well, and can't resist touching them as I go by them, to smell the scent of them on my hands.

Thanks for joining in for bloom day!

Hi Jen! You're right, there is nothing better than a fresh flower bed...and it doesn't hurt that someone else removed the sod for me :) I love your state park pics...Makes me want to go out and find a good trail to wander...

Hmm, I thought I left a comment before, or maybe I just tried but couldn't sign in or something, Anyway... that columbine is absolutely wonderful. I could go for a few of those little honeys.
