And all from my yard.

We have several lavender plants along the driveway. It’s nice to be able to stop and smell the lavender on the way to work.

Grape Hyacinth. At one point I planted a bunch of these in the front garden, but only one seems to have survived. Of course they’re so tiny, you hardly notice them, so chances are the other bulbs were accidentally dug up as plants were added, removed, and moved.

One of the bad things about my home is how close the a busy road we are. Things tend to get quite dirty, quite quickly.

This is the Rhododendron at the bottom of the hill. I’ve got a purple gem Rhododendron along the front of the house that is nowhere near this close to blooming. The plant always looks like it’s struggling to survive, but every year puts out a ton of gorgeous blooms. So I guess it’s doing fine.

Peonies. Or perhaps aliens. Not quite sure yet.

Tulips.
