In Bloom At The 4Rs

Sadie hasn’t picked all of my flowers yet.  I still have a few to share.

The apple trees have been full of blooms.

I hope this means lots of apples later.
 

The clematis is prettier than it has ever been.

I love how large the blooms are.

I have some pink tulips,

and some very dark purple.  I know some people treat tulips like annuals, but these have been coming back for years.  Maybe I can remember to plant more this fall.

To continue with the purple theme, the columbines I planted last year are doing great.

They are loving the rock garden. 

As is the candy tuff.

This rock foil is a new addition this year.  I need to check out the clearance rack a Lowe’s and see if they have any creeping phlox.  I think that would look nice in the rocks.

And speaking of the rock garden, the eastward expansion phase is completed. I ended up adding about 5-6 feet which amounted to about 20 more rocks and 20 more trips up and down the hill dragging my snow sled.  I might be done for now, at least until I decide to expand southward.
