Flowers are bursting open in our area. It's so fun to watch this happen. Bob and I take a walk around the yard daily and find new things coming to life. Here's a few things that we're enjoying.
Bob moved this azalea last year as it wasn't getting enough sunlight and only got a few blooms. It's much happier here!
The dwarf lilac is almost ready to open up. The flowers look just like regular lilacs, but are about 1/4 the size.
These are alliums, purple balls that are so fun!
Our Japanese Maple has tiny little red seedlings that I think are pretty cute.
The snowball bush...
All the hosta plants are growing.
These lily of the valley are so delicate and pretty, and they smell wonderful!
This is one of our favorites. It's a type of Viburnum bush. The flowers bloom along the top of every branch giving it an unusual look.
Here you can see how each branch looks.
Here's a close up of the flowers, blooming in a ring around the center.
Thanks for walking around the yard with me!

Your flowers are so pretty!!! I bought a lavender plant. Spring is a great time to see God’s beauty! Enjoy your week!
Loving all the close-ups! So fun. Nice to here they are happier in the new spot.
How absolutely gorgeous, Mari! The colours, the petals...wow, I feel like I am right there. Thank you so much for sharing, you have made my day!
Hi Mari! The flowers in your yard are gorgeous. Thanks for showing us your yard. Have a great week!
I can't believe how north you are - all that snow - and then all these GORGEOUS flowers come up. One is prettier than the other.
The Lily of the valley are my absolute favorite. So delicate and a great photo! Many of your flowers don’t grow around here so they’re really nice to see. Except for the azaleas - we call them coast rhododendron here and they grow under the redwood trees.
That must be nice to be able to walk around your property after a long winter and watch how the flowers bounce back to life.
Don't know if I've ever seen a Viburnum bush. I will try to remember how this looks so I can keep an eye out for any. I have never heard of Dwarf Lilacs, now I want one. Our big Lilac bush bit the dust a few years ago. But my very favorite is your Lily Of The Valley! They are so sweet, and I don't think I have ever seen any around here!
We thank you for the wonderful walk in your garden!!
Have a wonderful week, Mari!
Love all of the pretty flowers and shrubs. Was thinking about getting another snowball bush as I miss having one which I had at my previous home. Our lilacs are blooming too and smell wonderful. Janice
After all the snow you had it’s nice to see flowers in your garden!
Such a pretty yard! Love all the blooms!
hugs

So pretty
Oh my goodness...it is blooming out everywhere there and I LOVE it!! How glorious it all is. I'll live through you a while and wait patiently for more blooming here. Lol I need to move our azalea too - it's definitely not in a good spot. I just hope we don't kill it in the transition. 😂 Blessings to you both! xo
Everything looks so beautiful! Your azalea is lovely! Maybe I need to move mine to a sunnier place, too!
Oh my goodness everything looks so beautiful! It must be a total light just walking around the yard.
So lovely thanks for taking us along.

You are definitely having some beautiful blooms to enjoy now. Love the color of the Azella. I had a Lenten Rose that had been given to me a few years ago and apparently it didn't like its location either, so Carroll moved it last fall. What a difference it made!
Your Snowball Bush made me think of my paternal grandma. She had a huge one at the end of the front porch that was so pretty and full of bloom each spring.
The Viburnum bush is beautiful. I think the unusual way that it blooms is what makes it so attractive.
Such a lovely yard Mari. Your flowers are beautiful.
Never heard of Viburnum before. I love it and its unusual blooming pattern. Great closeups of it too.
New growth is always so exciting.
Thanks for sharing

The photo with the hostas -- are they all hostas, just different varieties? Love all the pictures you've shared here. You live in a very pretty area.
Sure was nice taking a walk around your garden with you. Things looking great.
I certainly enjoyed my walk around the yard/garden with you.
Beautiful flowers.
All the best Jan
Your yard is gorgeous! I love the lilac especially! Thanks for sharing the beauty with us.
All so pretty! You do have a beautiful yard, and it always amazes me how many lovely flowers can grow there where it is so cold and snowy all winter long. I guess the snow protects the plants in the ground. Thank you for taking us along on your walkabout your property! I enjoyed it so much.
You have such a beautiful yard. I always enjoy your "tours". Our yard is just beginning to blossom.
Your landscape is really coming alive!
You have a beautiful yard.
Ugh I can attest to the sheer abundant gorgeousness of your yard that is tended so tenderly! That Japanese Maple spoke to me! So lovely! Your Woodlands and the arbor gate and everything y'all have done is so special. Love it! xoxo
