No daylilies but other pretty blooms

10 years ago

A week ago we had snow. The past few days it's been in the 90's and today we had thunderstorms. Weird weather but things are busting out all over in my yard.
Here's what was blooming today, although some things look a little ratty after the downpour. I will have more things to photograph tomorrow but this is what I have today. I'm praying for all our forum friends in Oklahoma and that part of the country. I hope Maryl is okay and will check in.

The light pink rhodo is a fave--nicely shaped and blooming heavily. Do you know the name of that one and the peony?

What can I say Celeste but it's always a treat to see photos of your garden. All of your plants are stunning especially your peonies and rhododendrons. Zeus sure is a beauty I bet he's happy to see spring and get out in the garden to soak up some sunshine.

Your spring blooms are spectacular! I love the roses, irises, peonies, and your huge rhodedendrons! You have plenty of eye candy to keep you busy before your daylilies start.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
DD was having contractions all night and I thought we were having a baby, but all that happened is I lost a night of sleep....lol. She is due in exactly a week so it will be any time now. I'm trying to get as much garden work done as I can because I will be on grammy duty.

Mantis, I don't know the name of the rhododendron or any of my peonies. I don't think I ever knew. I have had them for 25--30 years, starting them when my kids were little and back then I didn't keep track of names. I have rhododendrons that are 10 feet tall that were in a gallon container when I planted them!

Take care everybody!

Celeste
