Had to share a few photos from my garden which is so pretty right now.

Rhododendron formosum in bud (I love its big fat buds) and in bloom putting in a big show though I plan to prune it back hard after it blooms this year.

Lady Bank's Rose, not quite in full bloom.

Ribes aureum. Bought this one last fall and am seeing it in showy bloom for the first time. Can't wait for it to grow and look forward to a bigger show next year.

Michelia yunnansis Snow Bird showing off its pretty flowers.

Pieris Forest Flame showing off some flowers and new foliage. Camellia Bob Hope peeking out from behind other foliage.

One of my favorite plants, Fothergilla, showing off its spring flowers.

First Abutilon flower of the season.

A little Daphne. Wish I could remember its proper name.

Cladrastis lutea sprouting its new leaves. This tree is completely new to me and I am looking forward to seeing those compound leaves develop.
