Photos: House Yard

[ysabetwordsmith]

I took some pictures today. These are from the yard by the house.


Violets are blooming in the house yard. They are approaching full bloom, starting to form mats, but they haven't reached maximum flower density yet and the leaves are still pretty short.




This closeup of the violets has a white butterfly off to the left. Official seal of approval! \o/




The orchard is largely carpeted in violets.




Tulips and grape hyacinths are blooming by the barrel garden.




Here is a closeup of a salmon tulip. I have a lot of warm colors right now.




This one is streaked in yellow and red. It's probably a Rembrandt. I like to plant those.




The bluebells are in full bloom in the forest garden.




In the closeup, you can see how some bells open sooner while others are still little pink buds.




The purple and white garden has many things blooming.




This tulip is blooming in purple and white streaks.

I love your color stages of spring! :D

Forgot the final stage, the green stage; that’s approximately from U.S. Memorial Day to solstice, when tree blossoms have largely yielded to foliage; when purslane and lambs-quarters have come up, wild chives have come into squiggly tendriled bloom, and the grass is startlingly green, before full summer heat has had an opportunity to yellow and crisp it.
