Back lit by sunshine, this hellebore just glows!
Crocuses still blooming strong...the yellow variety is half the size of the purple.
A beautiful day sure makes this gardener jump for joy!

Gorgeous Lynn! Looks like a beautiful day. The sun is shining brightly here this morning, but it's deceiving with the temperature a chilly 29 degrees. Springtime is slow making its way to Chicago this year!
ReplyDeleteLove the hellebore with the sunlight illuminating it!
ReplyDeleteThe sight of blossoms against a deep blue sky always makes me feel happy!
Isn't it amazing to see how much prettier everything looks with the blue sky behind it? The forsythia looks beautiful with the sun shining on it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm so glad to see things popping in your garden! I love the Hellebore- everyone's got them. It is on my list, but not until we move- I think! Enjoy the sun!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see the sun while it lasts. Thanks for the name of the "Oregon Holly" I looked it up and see it grows in shade so it is going on my list. Poor list gets longer all the time :), but it will do good in my woodland bed area.It has berries also so the birds will like it.Wish my hellebore would bloom. Your is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWoW! Lynne your gardens have come to life. I'll bet you ARE happy! They look great. We just had a few nice days too and it was just heavenly after the winter from h--l! All of us gardeners are happy campers now!!!
ReplyDeleteHey I finally got 'my journey' posted. I've been working on it for 2 weeks I think. ;-)
The colors really do pop against that beautiful blue sky! What a beautiful day in the garden.

ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, it is lovely to come for a visit here. Your season looks like it is on par with ours, same things blooming, but Oh! isn't it wonderful to have SPRING at last. When the sun shines, I am on a high and I cannot stop wondering around ever plant in the garden, what a great uplift. Thanks for sharing your great photography with us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.

The purple and gold crocuses look great with the little shafts of sunlight on them. The flowering shrubs by the arbour add a jolt of spring colour, and yes, sky blue is the perfect background for forsythia blooms.
ReplyDeleteThe bright blue sky really does make the blossoms extra pretty, doesn't it?
