Busy, Busy

I'm sneaking in under the wire for this "Six on Saturday," hosted by Jim at Garden Ruminations. We're just past our last frost of the season, and now's the rush to get everything in the garden and organized for the growing season. Hardy perennials, like the Wild Hyacinths (Camassia spp.), can take a cold night, and the blooms are lasting much longer than they have during warmer Mays in other years. 
 


Lilies of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) are sending their heavenly scent through the late spring air.



Korean Lilacs (Syringa meyeri), just beginning to break bud, are adding their own amazing aromas.



It won't be long for the Peonies (Paeonia spp.); the ants are helping to keep the pests at bay. I apologize--I forgot to make note of the cultivar shown here.



I picked up this lovely Caladium 'Berries 'N Burgundy' at the garden center. It wasn't on my list, but oh well...

Finally, the Mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum) are strutting their stuff under their umbrellas. They sure are fun little buddies!

It's a special time of year for gardens around the world. Head on over to Garden Ruminations to join the May party. And Happy Mother's Day!
