A day late, but still bloomin'

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day was yesterday and it is getting to be a really fun time of year for the bloom days. Unfortunately up here in zone 5, the things we have blooming are but a distant memory for those south of here. Still, I love that for the next four to five months the bloom days are just going to get better and better.


So here's a quick look at what I'm thrilled to see in my garden, all way ahead of schedule (and if you don't believe me, check out this post from Garden Rant).

My first hellobores. Ever. I'm thrilled with it and totally hooked on them! I just wish they weren't so shy and would show themselves more.

Brunnera 'Jack Frost' is doing really well considering it's just waking up from its first winter. I love the itty bitty blue flowers.

Of course daffodils are blooming. These all yellow ones are a bit traditional and plain for my tastes but they are dependable and bloom early so that makes up for anything they lack in pizzaz.

Ah, Pulmonaria. When my mom gave me several of these cute speckled-leaf plants from her garden I had no idea how much I would grow to love them. Their flowers are pretty, their foliage is interesting, and they look great all year.

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day is hosted on the 15th of every month by Carol over at May Dreams Gardens. Thanks so much Carol!
