SPRING IS HERE!

Daffodils and tulips by the family room

Helleborus outside the kitchen window

Woodland hyacinths everywhere

Vinca on the north side of the house

Star magnolia in bloom

I move the daffodils under the magnolia last week

Also blooming now: Forsythia, Pear Tree, Cherry Blossoms (the neighbor's), hyacinths.
Crocuses and snowdrops have finished up. 
I'm also happy to see that my oregano came back this year.  I moved the rosemary bush out of the vegetable garden plot.  It was just getting too big!

Bed by the street with rosemary bush and relocated sedum

Lilacs and Magnolias

Some of our sweetest smelling plants and trees are in bloom this week- pink magnolia, star magnolia, pear tree,  hyacinth, wild hyacinth, grape hyacinth, and best of all, the lilac shrub! 

Lilac

L to R: Star Magnolia, Pear tree, and Lilac

 Love the foliage combo of the red maple, pink magnolia, and the Chinese Maple beyond

Hyacinths in bed B6

But of all the sweet smelling blooms, I am really loving the Viburnam collection of our neighbors.  It has such a sweet delicious smell which reminds me of white tic tacs. Yum.
