Every Blooming THing-- Spring: Trees and Flowers

Hard to believe we are already just about 1/3 of the way through another year, but way into the first month of my yard's color.  I always try to have color from April to October.

The daffodils are starting to wane a bit, but hyacinths still blooming as are the grape hyacinths and several other bulb plants that I don't know their names.  The spreading phlox are blooming as are the yellow plant that always blooms at the same time.  So I have a nice blast of purple and yellow all around the yard.

Several trees already have their leaves.  The Bradford pear trees are staying in white bloom much longer than usual, but starting to lose their petals.  Earlier this morning I sat out OD (On Deck) in the back of the house,  had a cup of coffee and admired the Bradford pears, but those petals are a-fallin' and almost like snow.  I had to keep covering the coffee to prevent petals from taking a bath.  Several did kamikazes.

Also sat out FP (Front Porch) and admired the white crabapple's blooms and the weeping cherry's pink blooms.

I've been doing a lot of yardwork, clearing out flower beds and lots and lots of transplanting, especially of mums.
