Blooming This Week...Bulbs Bulbs Bulbs

With the warm early spring we are having, it seems as though all the spring bulbs are blooming at the same time!

Instead of the usual spring flowers blooming over a period of weeks or months, they all came up and bloomed at once.

It makes me wonder…what if everything blooms early this year, what will be left come fall?



Daffodils & hyacinths in front of the house



Tulips out back




Daffs & grape hyacinths on my kitty's grave way out back.




The lone tulip by the shed.




A patch of violets by the shed.



Forsythia, which should be flowering now.



And lilacs which should not.

Flower of the Day - Azure Grape Hyacinth




Today's flower of the day is a fall planted bulb, Azure Grape Hyacinth. If your ground is not frozen yet, you can still plant bulbs for spring blooms! Plant a few of these pretty hyacinths and they will spread into a gorgeous blue ground cover. They like sun or shade and grow best in lucky zones 4-9.

Happy gardening!
