I can't wait to get out there and plant the annuals and vegetables! I hope you'll be able to acquire your own garden soon!<br /><br />@Diane: Thanks! You are so fortunate to have things blooming in late winter and early spring. The Lily of the Valley should be very fragrant in the next few days as the temps warm.

You have so many beautiful plants in your garden, it will fit right in. The Flowering Almond is a winner, too. Hopefully mine will fill out a little more this year and then it will be lovely next year.<br /><br />@Autumn Belle: Thank you. May is an amazing month in this climate. After slogging through the long winter, a near euphoria takes hold as everything comes to life and colors pop out of the gray landscape.<br /><br />@Rose: Yes, Les Mis was fantastic! I'm still singing the songs. Yes, it's a wonderful time to live in Wisconsin--from now until about mid-November. I don't mind a little winter, but if I could I'd leave this state from January through March.<br /><br />@Dona: Thank you. Yes, it's pretty shady. I have a small sunny garden on the west side of the house, but the rest is shady.<br /><br />@Janet: Oh, I love Star Magnolias. I wish I had one in my garden. Maybe someday! Trilliums are magical in my book, but they don't last very long. They're starting to fade now, and with the warm weather, the blossoms will soon be gone.<br /><br />@Scott: Yeah, the Redbud is pretty nifty. And I like the way it looks next to the complimentary chartreuse green of the Burning Bush foliage. Sounds like you have some in your garden, too?Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-67824266589921898712011-05-17T17:55:45.535-05:002011-05-17T17:55:45.535-05:00I don't think any amount of photos of a redbud...I don't think any amount of photos of a redbud can be considered "too many"!!!

You can never have too many photos of redbuds--I think they're my favorite in the spring with their glowing lavender blooms showing up everywhere.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed "Les Mis"!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-2175271358952804122011-05-17T02:42:50.223-05:002011-05-17T02:42:50.223-05:00Glad to know that you had a wonderful time at the ...Glad to know that you had a wonderful time at the theatre.

Your garden looks so pretty ~ I did not see any weeds. :-)<br />I've been wanting to add a Redbud to my garden and I've almost decided on a spot. It's such a dainty tree and nothing is prettier when blooming.<br />It was interesting to see your flowering almond. My Mom was telling me recently it was one of her favorites and I wasn't familiar with it. The blooms are lovely. She said they smell amazing too. Lucky you.<br />Enjoy all your gorgeous blossoms and the play.Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_korner/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-60677090227117892722011-05-16T19:37:54.891-05:002011-05-16T19:37:54.891-05:00@Cat: The show was fantastic!

It's so pretty outside lately. No matter where you look. I'm sure it's the same for you now! :)<br /><br />@David: Thanks! When Redbuds bloom it seems like "real" springtime!<br /><br />@Holley: It's overwhelming sometimes, isn't it? I hope to do some serious weeding and planting next weekend. I'm sure your gardens are amazing!<br /><br />@Kate: I'm heading on over to your blog tonight. Thanks for stopping by! Yes, the Burning Bush and Redbud are great companions in any season (winter's a little sparse, though).<br /><br />@Margaret: I know what you mean about the Trillium. I was reading that it's illegal to pick or transplant them from public lands in several states, including Wisconsin.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-77469026887366162882011-05-16T19:14:48.953-05:002011-05-16T19:14:48.953-05:00@Masha: Thank you!

The blossoms look like Roses.<br /><br />@Nell Jean: Thank you. I wanted to be honest. But I suppose you're right. I'll try to be more positive next time. :)<br /><br />@Donna: Thanks. We seem to have so much in common, including things that are blooming, plants we choose, etc. The musical was phenomenal!<br /><br />@Greggo: Yes, it's been springtime on steroids around here lately. Weird weather patterns that warm things up enough to bloom, then cooldowns which preserve the blossoms.<br /><br />@Sage: Thank you! I can't wait to get out and really clean things up next weekend!
