Blooming Yard

The first wave of spring flowers has died back. Here are the May flowers:

These azaleas came in a package about the size of shoebox. Thirty years later they are huge.




The Bleeding Heart plant is at least 20 years old



Last year was the first big year for our blueberries. These flowers look like it will be another sweet summer.


This bridal veil plant came with the house. I over trimed it a few years ago and it is slowly coming back.


This is a coin plant that runs wild back in the woods.


Read Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine if you think this is nothing but a weed.


I planted all of these dogwoods myself from saplings that I found in the woods. The flowers start out ivory and brown but for a few days are bright white.



I don't know what these bushes are, but they grow wild over by cemetery.



I love this mountain laurel, the Graham family flower.



These lilacs have to be 100 years old.


Mouse Ear is a pest in the yard, but it is a pretty flower.


I can't get rid of the poison ivy.


The blue potatos are sprouting.


The brown flower on this Rose of Sharon is from last year.


The sassafras is blooming. It smells like sasparilla.


The lawn is full of wild strawberries.


This wisteria is very old. It is on the ground because it pulled down the tree that it was growing in.


We have wild geranium plants growing around the edges of the yard.
