The rain over the past couple of days has the yard lush and green. Lovely to see items coming to bloom.

Lovely, GoodBoy! Isn't it nice seeing so much green this time of the year?

Finally, a few lilac stems starting to bloom - they all should pop this week, so I am so happy! The bushes are in the front at one side and the front.
I love having them in the house, however - I could bathe in their scent. (btw, have only ever found one H&B item which actually smells like lilacs; it's a shampoo from Yves Rocher - shoot, I just looked on their site and it's not there any more!)
@GoodBoy -in your second last photo, the dark purple flowers-do you know what they are? Have about three of them blooming. Last year, some seeds must have spread because I've been pulling small plants from between a step and the front walkway.
Hiya... those are Columbine. I love them spreading ... the more the merrier! :-)Quote:

Mom's double peony bush in the back opened their buds three days ago. Due to the rain two days ago, one side had drooped but I hope some strong sunshine might restore their spring. I had to lift the flowers so I could move the mower around to cut the grass.
@Ciel - my back is pretty much forest like so the columbine do well in the partial shade. Sun plants do not work for me at all. No grass - I like that part of my yard - no grass!
