What a treat to see the first blooms of my pink Hibiscus plant in my garden today!
I planted it two years ago and this year was the first year the Hibiscus bloomed.
All I could say when I saw the bloom this morning was, what a gorgeous flower! Continue reading Photo of the Week: First Bloom on my Pink Hibiscus
With the cool weather and heavy spring rains ending (we hope!) in southeast Michigan, my early summer flowers are finally in bloom.
Including one of my favorites, the yellow-petaled Coreopsis that blooms in my front courtyard.
I believe the blooms in this post are a hybrid between the field Coreopsis I’ve had for years (with tall, lanky stems) and the shorter height red-based center Rising Sun Coreopsis my neighbor gave me years ago.
Coreopsis is one of those flowers I love having in my garden! They typically bloom from early June to late October/early November in our area, providing beautiful yellow color for two seasons.
What’s blooming in your garden today?
With all the rain showers we’ve had in southeast Michigan in the past week, it’s no surprise my spring bulbs have finally started to burst into bloom.
My mini daffodils popped through the soil earlier this month.
The gorgeous yellow flowers, less than eight inches tall, started blooming a few days ago. They brighten my day when I gaze out the window each morning at my flower beds.
It seems with the alternating freezing cold/hot weather we’ve had this spring (we had snow showers forecast last night), many spring flowers are blooming later than normal.
I’m glad to finally see the beautiful colors of the pink magnolias, golden forsythias, and my yellow daffodils in bloom!
