have spent the past couple of days
out soaking up as much of the
golden sunshine
blue skies
warm breezes
as we can
my fingers had been itching
to get back into the dirt
and i am even happy to weed these days
thought i'm sure that particular urge
will quickly fade
my nikko blue hydrangea
from ebay arrived the other day
and i quickly put her in the ground
i have had much luck with every sort of hydrangea
except the nikkos
which never want to bloom for me
but many of my other perennials and shrubs
are coming to life
this hosta
was dug up from a friend's yard
and transplanted last year
i am slowly adding foundation shrubs to my beds
when they are on sale
i have three azaleas
and two euonymous
that i bought late last summer
on clearance for $3 each
euonymus
i was thrilled to see
that they survived their first winter here
a neighbor gave me clumps of this little beauty
it has spotted leaves and blooms quite early
in may with pink and purple blooms
it's name
lungwort
doesn't quite seem to fit
one of my darlings
old fashioned lilac
so fragrant
i have been able to 4 or 5 starts from this tree
to plant in other parts of my garden
and now
my latest mystery plant
we had an ugly tree blow down a couple months ago
and when it was finally chopped up and removed
this little gem was discovered cowering underneath
i adore it's delicate white flowers
which
seem to have no scent
can any of you tell me what it's called?
