I just did a couple of posts on the work we did on our perennial beds and for the first time ever that I can remember, the left bed has barely anything blooming...Usually I have blossoms during ever seasons. Seems a ton just finished and the new ones are still in tight bud when normally they would be blooming away by now!<br /><br />Bet your lilac must smell heavenly! scrappymo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17765178247461095797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-24322219611906570192013-05-18T07:59:06.513+01:002013-05-18T07:59:06.513+01:00Beautiful photos!!

Love your photos's and as we were only saying yesterday there is an abundance of blossom at the moment -quite late this year. Lets hope we don't get any late frosts as last year the fruit harvest was a disaster. Just hoping the weather warms up a bit now and the sun appears again as our bees need it if we are to harvest any honey this year.

Lovely to see familiar species - none of which I have room for here. My tiny garden backs onto a little spinney and in the space of one week it suddenly went from bare branches to fully green. Two of the trees had masses of blossom - much more than last year but I don't know what they are - yet - will have to fight my way through the bramble to find out one day.<br />Beryl xxBerylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490679271651403511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-91858291646489349272013-05-17T08:50:27.033+01:002013-05-17T08:50:27.033+01:00Fantastic pictures Brenda and looks like warmer we...Fantastic pictures Brenda and looks like warmer weather has hit your place.

Beautiful photography and grounds. None of the flowers or trees you shared grow here - it is far too hot, and not cold enough in the winter. Except for the pansies - we call those Johnny Jump Ups. I plant those in the winter as they are cold hearty. BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL photos. Will you take more as the seasons progress? I love see these types of photos. Mother Nature is nothing short of incredible. I love when we get to work in concert with her! hugs, deDonna Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493910748228055970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648324448256287077.post-81394029183811659962013-05-16T23:50:54.396+01:002013-05-16T23:50:54.396+01:00That blue sky looks perfect; we saw only rain here...That blue sky looks perfect; we saw only rain here today...

Our Bramley tree is laden with blossom now, but has taken a right battering with hail and rain the last two evenings. Next door still have flowers on their Magnolia too.
