doublepointed: Flowers for Mother's Day

Sunday, May 10, 2009

In honor of Mother's Day, and with love to Mom, here are some pictures of some of what is blossoming in my garden.

The first ginger ever.

I was just planning to pull out these plants, and then after several years they decided to bloom.

Hibiscus.

Crinum lilies.

The blackberry lilies bloomed for the first time this year,

The rocket larkspur have taken off like rockets, as have the daisies and the salvia.

The pansies are still in bloom, but will soon die out from the heat.

The Persian Shield, while not blooming, is very colorful.

Alas, that this last flower is not yet in bloom.

Sorry, Mom, that I didn't get it to you yet. But I'm glad that you love me anyway!

I do indeed--and I'm thrilled to see everything blooming so beautifully in your yard. And I can wait! Love, Mom

I don't think I've ever seen the Persian Shield before; it's really lovely. Makes me think of some beautiful yarn...

"Ginger grows so swiftly..."

Beautiful garden, Lisa!
