Lilium tigridium 'mantra'

Annual purple and orange; Morning glory and...

Lotus berthelotii
Spring street level violets might look nice in partial shade with...

Icelandic poppies!

Orange and Purple for a native plant garden anyone? Lilium montanum
Brodiaea coronaria

Street Inspiration





Spring is almost over...

This year May seemed to sneak up unnoticed, and now that it's almost summer I'm lamenting the end of spring. But only a tiny bit, my Allium 'Globemaster' is almost blooming and I have a bouquet of lilacs on the table after all.
So, here are a few shots of a Victoria spring, a sort of celebration of things to come if you will,


Some of these are from Abkhazi garden, a great place to visit especially when all the Rhododendrons are blooming.
Is it still spring where you live? Whats blooming?
