A Second Look--Part II

Yesterday, I showed you some of the bird activity and today I'm going to show you a few of the flowers that are blooming. Things are changing so fast this time of year, it feels like I shouldn't go two weeks before I show you what things look like now in the plant world. And oh, it's still raining. However, now the rainy periods are interspersed with just cloudiness. :)

Here are a few things I saw this week
 during a Second Look.

The first Japanese Iris to bloom this year.


Pansy


Peris japonica. This one is about a month behind the one directly across the walk from it.


The bleeding heart are still blooming.



Lily of the Valley



Azalea. Others are just budding.


Nettle


Rhododendron 


Pansy


Raindrops on Lady's Mantle
