Fragrant flowers on the ornamental tree |
After the Rains
Late to arrive and late to warm, spring is slowly unfurling itself. Many early blossoms are just now blooming; lily of the valley and columbines, lilacs and magnolias are showing off in the sun-filled day that has followed a rain-soaked week. These plants bring patches of colour and scent to our verdant landscape which is just beginning to flourish. So fresh, so lovely. Ah, spring.The scent that fills our home: lily of the valley |
Buds just beginning to open on the deeply fragrant lilac |
The magnolia -- an early bloomer whose flowers have since dropped |
The oh-so-sweet and hearty columbine |
And as night falls the sky turns a velvet shade of indigo |
