What's Blooming - Spring 2007
Hello all,
Here's the latest photo! [Note! Click image for a larger view.]
 The night lights still hang in the lilac - though no longer lit - and I shall have to replace them with LED’s for next winter. It promises to be a good year for lilacs, and my precious viburnum (Juddii) is blooming for the first time! The trees are delicately coloured with the lovely pale green of spring leaves, and some of the early flowering trees are showing buds. Everything is coming to life, and we wait for rain to make things really burst forth!
My blue river of grape hyacinths is barely visible in the background of this photo - it needs still more bulbs, and maybe next year it will be worthy of center stage. The white (styrofoam) hats I put over roses and clematises (clematii?) seem to have worked - somewhat. I was pushing it with a St. John’s Wort - the shrubby type - and didn’t succeed. I shall resist the temptation to pull it out in case there’s something coming up from the roots. It’s hard to be patient in the midst of the vibrancy of spring. A good lesson, I suppose, since I need to learn patience for another reason: I’m tottering around in a cast after breaking my leg. (slipped on wet grass in the early hours of an icy morning two weeks ago, and jammed my foot against a step - healing very well, however, with the help of Homeopathy and a removable air cast.)
Happy spring everyone, and - if you are local - remember about the Garden Photography workshop coming up in July with Adrienne Herron!
All the best,
Edie Jane
