Garden Post 2020

Just a post to show off our garden in spring and to muse over a few things. Month of May is my favorite month with the arrival of spring and nature in splendor everywhere you turn. It's been 5 years since my mom left us forever. Coronatime gave us siblings an opportunity this year to zoom together in a prayer of remembranceđź’–. My daughter had a milestone birthday this month and it was great that all four of us had this day together to celebrate it. Roses from the garden held centerpiece in the celebration.

               

                  

Bearss dwarf lime camouflaged as a flowering plant on the left, clematis vine on the right and the trumpet vine below add charm to our backyard.



          

Aren't strawberries like flowers too? At least they are as colorful. Can you spot the little visitor hiding in plain sight? They are in abundance this year.


       .        
When has a rose ever needed an introduction? They rule unchallenged. 
Below is the grapevine coming along nicely. Harvest time is around September.


 

Is it absurd that a purple clematis and a weed flower give similar pleasure? So true that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder!


No backyard is complete without a nasturtium which is not only a beauty, but also edible and used in food decorations. And glad to know that the wild California poppy thinks our backyard is good enough to make an appearance every year. Leaving a slice of home made cake here for you all to enjoy.
