What's blooming now?

Posted at 11:55 AM on April 28, 2006 by Preston Wright (1 Comments)

From my garden this morning:

fritillaria_michailowskyi.jpg

Fritillaria michailowskyi. Very dainty, yet colorful.

Alpine strawberry (Fragaria vesca). I brought these back from Alaska about 6 years ago and they are still growing strong. Far superior in flavor than what your supermarket offers.

Peony flowering tulip (Tulipa "Monte Carlo"). Looks like whipped butter.

rock_iris.jpg

Rockgarden iris (Iris reticulata). Really blooming well this year, perhaps because of the mild winter. My solitary patch has a good 20 blooms open.

White lilac (Syringa vulgaris) One more week and we will be smelling these everywhere.

You are a really good photographer. I like the creative use of color and the cropping. Looking forward to reading your posts in the future.
