Bloom Day!!!

It's April bloom day!! Can you believe that we are passed the spring threshold and legitimately into spring! Worth celebrating! So jump up and down, do a little happy dance - twist and shout. Now we had a bit of a soggy last week so I'm afraid my bloom day updates are coming from my deck today. Somewhat of a April bloom day micro lens kind of feel.

Lavender 'Otto Quast' is a new to me lavender that I mixed into one of the patio pots this year.

One of my favourite blooms in the entire garden right now must be coming from this Lewisia hybrid. It makes me think so much of summer with the vibrant pinks.

Euphorbia 'Tiny Tim' continues to amaze... I love the two little flowers that come out of the centre.

And on the subject of Euphorbia more vibrant greens!

Lastly, something I shared a couple weeks ago that has been growing on me is this Lithodora 'Grace Ward.' I appreciate the rosemary like qualities of this plant.

Well that's it for my micro-bloom day April bloom day from the balcony. I hope you all have a wonderful Monday. To see more blooms head on over to May Dreams blog

    I like your micro-lens approach, Louis - that Euphorbia 'Tiny Tim' is amazing! We're lucky to have patios, decks and balconies here in the PNW a good number of months out of the year!

      Thanks, Jane!! I feel so blessed to have a covered patio area where I can start planting things up extra early! We even put out a gas fire pit so you can enjoy most of the year :) I hope this spring is kind to you guys down in P town.
