2 - Japanese cherry tree

3 - Flowering crab tree



4 - Japanese flowering quince












5 - PeeGee hydrangea











6 - Lilac




7 - Golden chain tree
























8 - Hawthorne





















9 - Serviceberry





















10 - Forsythia

And there you have it. My heart swelling inside, singing joyously in visual form.
Happy TT!

  3. Amy cracks me up...

    Those are gorgeous pictures. We have the rhododendron in the first picture, only ours is -- ready? -- PINK. I kid you not. It's blooming right now, and it is FAB.

    Happy TT, darling!

  4. Awesome Julia! I just bought some Lilacs to put in my yard. I think I've killed them by putting them out too early though. :(

    Oh well, back to Costco to buy more!

  6. Beautiful pictures, Julia. I planted two lilac bushes and two hydrangeas last year. So far, only one lilac bush has leaves on it. Hope that doesn't mean I've killed the other three!

  9. What a nice reminder of Sping! I can't grow a flower to save my life. Pictures and botanical gardens are as close as I get;-)

  16. Oh - I LOVE laburnum. It's my all time favourite, and I see it flowering everywhere just now.

    p.s. I'm glad to find my sense of humour isn't so strange after all!
