April showers bring May flowers, according to the old saying. I wonder if April flowers will bring May showers?!

I am especially glad to see the coral rose (that's what I call it; don't know the name of it) as it is a survivor of the drought; I think it is a miniature rose and rarely flowers, but, at least, it is still alive!
I took a few more pictures, but, they are refusing to upload! Maybe there will be a second April Flowers post, a bit later on!
How are your spring gardens coming along?
Spring has definitely sprung! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely! We were in the 80s all week!
DeleteSnap! We had the same idea for a post today it seems. Your garden must look wonderful with all those flowers and their splashes of colour. Thanks for sharing with us Bless x
ReplyDeleteOh, must be a case of great minds thinking alike! :D Spring is when my garden looks its best - before the summer heat causes everything to wilt. I am off to check out your post. :)
DeleteWe grew jasmine when we lived in the south. The smell was heavenly.
ReplyDeleteThey do smell delightful. I cut a couple of sprays to bring indoors to place at the altar - they scented the whole house!
DeleteHi Bless, Beautiful flowers. Yours are ahead of mine...I love the smell of jasmine. Spring is here! It's so beautiful this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephenie. I guess your area is a bit cooler than mine. But, I agree, spring is a beautiful time of the year. I think it is when my garden is at its best. After that, it gets too hot!
DeleteSuch lovely colourful flowers! We will soon be seeing some of the wild flowers in our yard and up the road. Spring is such a wonderful time of anticipation!
ReplyDeleteWe did our bottling today with one helper, all of us in masks.
Thank you, Bushlady. Yes, spring is a lovely time of the year!
DeleteGlad to hear you got all the bottling done! Hope you are saving one of those bottles for me! :D
Hope you have a very happy and blessed Easter. (((HUGS)))
Beautiful. It will be June before we see glowers
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jean. I'll share my flowers with you until then! :)
DeleteYour flowers are beautiful, I especially love the coloured poppies. My garden is not looking as cheery just yet but I'm hoping that it will look much more colourful in the summer. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. I'm sure your garden is going to be a show stopper once summer arrives! I know you said you were going to concentrate of flowers, this year. I can't wait to see the pictures. :)
DeleteLovely flowers. While walking around your yard, you must enjoy some wonderful fragrance with the roses and your jasmine.
ReplyDeleteIs your pot of geraniums year round for you? Ours are annuals in this climate. I have thought of bringing them in and attempting to over winter them but by the time I get things cleaned up in the fall, truth be told, I just don't feel like fooling with it.
Thank you. Right now, the predominant fragrance in the garden is citrus flowers - the lemon trees, calamondin, and orange are all flowering! The bees are very happy and busy!
DeleteYes, the geraniums are year round. They don't flower that much during the rest of the year, but, they stay outside. I am thinking of repotting them (I have two of the pink geranium plants) in bigger pots, this year.
