What's Fresh May 21, 2012

The farm is alive--alive with bird song, bee hum and the snicker-snick of flower scissors.  Every time I turn around something is bursting into bloom!  I envy the bumble bee, fat and lazy, as she bumps around the new blooms, I am too old for this and we have just started.  And I swear, if FedEx brings one more shipment of plants I will think seriously about running away from home.

...so, here's what we have blooming at Bindweed this week.



Allium
 

Small allium, from golf ball to baseball size

 

Giant Allium, soft ball size


Bells of Ireland, lush, lime green bells on three foot stems

Lily of the Valley, fragrant bells on six to eight inch stems


Lily "Yelloween"

(There are always a few stray tulips that pop up in the perennials and I just don't have the heart to pull them out.)
