The Wet, Wet Garden
After worrying about the rain deficit (we were below normal for April), Mother Nature generously rewarded us with an abundance of rain this past week. I am not going to complain although I do wish it would skip my off-days. Today (Saturday) is an especially wet day. I ventured out briefly and took a few shots. The plants grow so fast from the rain.

Phillip, These photos are extraordinary! You must tell me what your secrets to such wonderful shots are! Dear Husband is my photographer, but I am trying to learn more on my own. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden!
ReplyDeletePretty pretty. I have only a peony tree. I must get some of these other beauties.
ReplyDeleteOMG!

Beautiful pictures Phillip! Spring seems to be going by oddly fast here too, in spite of the cool temperatures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers all around. Really jealous of the pomegranate blossom.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, It seems like this spring has lasted longer and the roses too. I'm retired though so I have time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak. Your garden and your photographs are lovely.
ReplyDeletePhillip, any recommendations for peonies for down south? I've been wanting to get one, but stymied on what to pick...
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Phillip, I hate to think of May coming to end. From here on out, I'll have to fight harder for my blooms because it will get hot and dry, and the bugs will arrive. May is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing. Plants are blooming faster than I'm taking pictures. Your peonies are incredible! :o)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always Phillip! And your flower pictures are nice too:) You are right spring should liger for several more months!
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms!!!
