I wandered here and there in the yard today. I took a lot of new photos, but was most excited to see that the new perennial shade garden is doing well. Here is a photo of the Foam Flower - Spring Symphony. I can't wait to see the Ligularia in bloom this summer. I will have to take an updated photo of the whole bed as it is filling in nicely as the plants are adjusting.
Check out my photo gallery to see more of what is in bloom today.
Wearing White

My garden is sporting the most innocent color it will have all season. White is definitely stunning when it's on the bride, but more so when it's in the flowers. Here is a photo essay of the beauty happening this week. To start out the show we have a dwarf white columbine that is only about 12 inches tall, it is the first of the columbines to bloom. It is a soft silky white with blue green leaves.
Next we have the dainty galanthus showing it's downward facing bright white blooms with green tips.
True to form are the swaying, creamy off-white tulips standing out among the brights of red and yellow.
Drifts of white phlox are coming down from the terraced planting in the front.
And soon to show the most stunning of blossoms will be the double white clematis. Here are the unique buds.
And what the double white clematis will look like in a couple of weeks.
Well until the next show of color, I hope this tides you over.
