Happy floral Friday and welcome to this week in my Maryland garden!
Last week's post featured our old fashioned lilac and this week I decided to lead with our reblooming lilacs. They are absolutely covered in flowers right now. The last photo in this post has another photo of them from a little further away. If we are blessed, we'll have blooms trickling in through early fall.

We have five azalea bushes and they're at peak this week.

This dianthus survived an early spring transplant from our window box to the ground. We might have gotten earlier flowers had we left it where it was but I wanted to try a new window box arrangement this year and it seems happier in the ground.

The pansies are still looking nice but I got a great deal on some miniature dahlias so I planted a row of them in between the pansies. The tulips have passed but I'll leave their foliage up for a while to gather nutrients for next year's blooms.

This is definitely peak week for the lilacs.
What is your favorite spring flower?
Hope you enjoyed my garden photos. May God bless and keep you!

Beautiful flowers! Lilacs remind me of my grandmother's house. She always had a bush growing near her bedroom window. Those spring/summer days when the wind carried the scent into the room during naptime, I can still remember them. Thank you for sharing these. <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely memory, Kay! Thank you for sharing!
DeleteMy mom grew lilacs and they remind me of her.
