Birthday Blossom


This is my Eldest Son's Birthday Blossom (Prunis Bleriana)
At our old house it was always out on his birthday, so I planted one in our new house, and it's just a bit after his birthday, but not by much.  He turned 18 last Thursday, and this morning I found this on his tree.
My daughters Birthday Blossom is Prunis Elvins.  I love this tree so much that I have 2 in the garden.  It will flower around September 16, when she turns 16!

Beautiful white jonquils in my front garden

. . . and Snowdrops

and my Happy Wanderer - it is a white one and just looks like snow, climbing up the wall at the front of my house.

You can imagine by these photos that my garden smells delicious at the moment.

This Hippiastrum is "splitting it's sides laughing" or so my mum says.
It will burst open any day now.

Beautiful Japonica in full bloom

. . . and these little friends of mine are getting busy

My yard is full of song and promise

I bought some more little nests today too!
