My flowers are coming out fast now. I can't wait to get a good picture of my wysteria. The lavendar blooms are coming out fast on that too!
All of the crabapple trees are blooming. I've lost count of how many we have. And we keep planting them. There are gobs of babies coming up. My husband potted over 50 more. They grow like around a foot a year.
I have 11 lilac bushes blooming now. It smells so good in the yard.
I love my flowers.

The lavendar was hanging down. I had to put it up to weedeat.

I would love to see your Wisteria. I have had a plant for years that has never bloomed. This year I went to a garden show and the "expert" told me to put bonemeal on it and it would bloom. Please cross your fingers for me (laughter); I would love to see a bloom on mine.

What beautiful pictures of your yard! I have a new wisteria and am anxious for it to bloom,too.I read that pruning is the answer to getting blooms,so we'll see.

It took mine three years to bloom Murphy. I did get one pic the other day. But they are just now showing a lot of color. I'm hopeing tomorrow to get a good pic. It has the most bloom it's ever had this year. If it doesn't get cold and kill them.
I started my son one from it. And I found one rooted for my Aunt. So I have to get it dug and potted.
Good luck on yours blooming.
We have to fix a new arbor or something for mine. It has woven itself through the plastic lattice. And it's getting so big. We are afraid it's going to break the arbor.

Wysteria, if you can see the blooms.

Linda, yes I'm ready for the hummers and butterflies too! I brought one hummer feeder in to wash and get cleaned up. I'll fill it and put one out until they get started. Then I'll have to put out a bunch more. I've already saw one humming around.
