Blooming This Week

As some flowers are fading, others are making their appearances. Here are some of the things blooming in my yard this week.

This yellow iris bloomed last fall for the first time. Now, it seems to be on a regular schedule, with spring blooming.

The Siberian irises have had their first blooms. We had these at our last house, and I shared them with a friend. She then shared some with me from her yard for our new house. So these are from my old house, so to speak. However, they took the long route to get here.

The snow on the mountain is blooming among the day lily leaves.

Our scraggly rhododendron is in full bloom now.

However, the ones in another part of the yard have just started to bloom.

The dianthus has more blossoms.

The poppy I transplanted this spring had its first blossom before something dug it up.
I tried replanting it, but it was dug up again. Oh, well.

The baby chickadees are maturing rapidly. It shouldn't be long before they fledge.

Ward and I will be gone for a few days for a little change of scenery. I'll tell you all about it when I get a chance.

Until next time...
