Just outside my door is a trellis with a Clematis Vine
...and this year we have a birds nest...
It had only one egg the day I took these photos
Now it has three...
I’m kind of excited!!!
The photo above is from my files, I think it was a Dogwood Bush or something
like that...I don’t think it has bloomed since it’s first year...
I think this Candy Tuft might be my favorite perennial ...
This Japanese Maple is more of a bush than a tree...
it is about four feet tall and probably six feet in diameter...
It currently has a nice crop of weeds, ivy and a black dog under it...
Michael thinks this Japanese Kerria is downright invasive..
I love those prolific blooms...
“Wild with abandon” comes to mind when I look at them...
Wishing all of you a Happy Easter Holiday
Enjoy your families!!!
Just a little snippet of the Phlox...
Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your family.
Your blooms are gorgeous. What a perfect day to showcase bird eggs....
ReplyDeleteHow sweet Becky! I would love to see that in my trellis. FYI May 4th pet party at my place. I will be having Beatrice there too (MY mom's spoiled, cute, loveable, little Morkie)of course Lucy is the host. Hope to see you!

ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Happy Easter to you also.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Becky... Keep us posted on your little birdies... You're gonna be a Bird-Grammy....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers... We have some Candy Tuft also --but it hasn't spread like I had hoped it would. Guess I need to cute it back so that it's not so 'leggy'...
The phlox is gorgeous.
Happy Easter.
Hugs,
Betsy
It's always fun to have a bird's nest nearby to keep an eye on. Was your dogwood a red twig dogwood? Looks similar to ours. I have a picture of candytuft on my blog post, too. Don't you love it?? So pretty! ~~Rhonda :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Lots of beautiful spring colour in your garden. V
ReplyDeleteYour Kerria is so bright, it's like a sunshine bush! I hope you get to see the birds grow up.
