Spring Surprises

As I walk around my garden I discover bulbs that I don't remember planting - colours that I did not buy. I think it is a combination of squirrels and my failing memory. One of these years I should organize them all and do a little planning for the next spring.... but I keep forgetting. Never the less they are such a joy to see and I love surprises.

These tulips are showing there beauty.

This tulip is on the north side of the house and stretching for the sun.

This daffodil tucked behind a cedar, seems to be saying "Here I am." 

This lone hyacinth was rescued from the vegetable garden and given a place of prominence at the back door. 

This Week's Attractions

The pasque flower has so much character - one of my favourites.

The seed heads are just as beautiful as the flower and the foliage always looks good. 

I cannot remember the name of this little gem... but it has multiplied nicely.
Update: I looked it up and I believe it is a Scilla.

Pulmonaria longifolia or you might know it by it's common name lungwart is beautiful the way it starts out blue and turns to pink. 

Of course none of this can be attended to without Codie, my new garden helper. 

Coming attraction.
