Funky Lavender, Thyme, Allium, Marigold and Dahlia Photos for Floral Friday

Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!" My wonderful husband bought this Spanish lavender a few weeks ago and it's almost finished blooming so I'm thankful to have a photo of its first year in our yard.

I planted this French thyme last year and it's nice to see it covered in little white flowers.

This giant allium flower is a little miracle. We bought the bulbs last fall but each thought the other planted them. So when I found them in late winter/early spring I took a chance and planted them. Voles ate two of the three that should be blooming now but one survived and I am thankful. We have three more that are supposed to bloom in early summer.

The marigolds are growing and I love this bicolor red/orange marigold.

This is a funky shot of our bicolor dahlia. I love how the petals are shaped.

Thank you for visiting! That's all for this week's tour. Which was your favorite photo? May God bless you this spring and always!
