'And since to look at things in bloom'

[cmcmck]

Just for a change, I'm not up in the hills.

We had our garden remodelled during the covid outbreak and things are finally beginning to settle down and Our garden is beginning to show signs of bloomin' blooms!

The chive flowers are starting to open:



As are the thyme  flowers:



Our new little James Grieve apple tree is in blossom:



And the Mexican fleabane is going nuts, as it does!



The Heuchera has taken on its full marmalade colouration. The prickly job next door is an echinops which hasn't flowered yet:



We had rain overnight so there are jewels:



A Hibiscus bloom just starting to unravel. This gives a lot of bloom for a long time:



This is a fuschia of sorts:



Convolvulus- not like those wild ones that take over everywhere pretty though they are.This one seems to be much better mannered:



My gorse flowered in late February and is still blooming like mad!



More jewels from the overnight rain:



Our hawthorn is just beginning to blossom:



This is a jasmin of sorts:



More jewels:



Can't recall the name of this one!



Foxgloves just beginning to flower:



The hostas are starting to unfurl but won't flower for a bit yet:



Can't recall the name but this one loses its leaves in Winter:



The verbena is just starting to put out flowers. This will make a lot of growth come Summer:



This is the whole thing:



And this was how it started:

Garden garden garden!

You have a fabulous garden! So many lovely plants!

This is a bergenia and this is a shrubby cinquefoil - both are very popular in Swedish gardens.

Thanks for the ID's.

We really needed to do something with it and finally decided to get a professional garden designer in. It's also nicely low maintenance as neither of us is really a gardener.

Particularly liked the gorse -- I don't think we have any around here.

[cmcmck]

It grows wild in profusion here and I've always love it.

Many people don't because spines! :o)

Very pretty.

I love the color of the Heuchera.

[cmcmck]

I'd never come across it before and it keeps that striking colour right through the Winter too.

Lovely garden and beautiful blooms! I especially love the apple blossoms.

[cmcmck]

We'd only just planted it and the blossom came! :o)

[adafrog]

Great pics, thanks.

[cmcmck]

Y're welcome! :o)

Gardens are so much fun! And beautiful.
My chives are blooming as well.

[cmcmck]

I love to have chives as part of a herber- all my herbs apart from the pennroyal (just for looks as it's quite dangerous- an abortificient) are edible.

[jajalala]

oh my gosh I didn't know thyme flowered, it's so cute!!! In fact your whole garden is gorgeous, so vibrant and full. Thanks for sharing!

[cmcmck]

Glad you enjoyed.

Most of the herbs flower in one form or another.

I'll try to get more pics when the full bloom comes on.

How lovely! You look to be just about a month ahead of us on some of the plants we grow in common, but I've still got snow lingering in the odd shady corner and only the bravest of perennials venturing out into the frosty mornings: Siberian squill, crocus, and, soon, shooting star. Although I do also have a couple inches of chives come up, too. Do you eat your chive blossoms? I discovered last summer that I love them in salads.

[cmcmck]

I do eat the blooms- as you say, they are lovely in salads as many flowers are.

Veggie tends to mean adventurous! :o)

So pretty! <3

It's coming along nicely!
