May is my favorite time of year. I am always so excited for the beautiful flowers that come as a result of our April showers.
Most of us have a favorite color combination that we like to use in our garden.
When I plant my annuals, I love purple, yellow, and red. But for Spring blooms, pink, purple, and yellow are my favorites.
Come stroll the garden with me. . .
My trailing plants, Aubretia, Phlox, and Basket of Gold are getting large enough that they hang over the rock wall.
I love the variegated shades of this purple Aubretia. These are planted on the wall of my daylight basement. I can enjoy the blooms from inside too.
Sea Thrift and Periwinkle.
My concrete angel sits at the edge of a cluster of Silver Dollar plants. I have more of them sprinkled throughout the garden for a splash of color.
This large mound of Phlox is in the front garden. I have spread mulch there and the ground is so much prettier. We need to get more mulch for the back yard.
My Lavender Twisted Redbud is one of my favorite ornamental trees My Flowering Almond bushes are just beginning to bloom.
close up of the sweet Redbud blossoms.
I went away to a friends cabin last weekend. Before I left my Weeping Crabapple was full of buds. The blooms were just starting to open.
When I returned home she was starting to put on a show.
Springtime rain is such a blessing. Oh what beauty it brings!
hugs,
Jann

We tore everything out of our back yard and are starting from scratch. How I look forward to having an established landscape like yours. Simply beautiful!
So pretty! We got a hard freeze a couple of weeks ago, and the spring stuff is just not doing its thing this year. So I doubly enjoyed yours. Sally
Everything looks so beautiful. I wish I were better with plants and green things.
Hi Jann. I love your flowers! I just love Spring too! I recently started following your blog and am enjoying it. Stop by and see me sometime at livinglaughingandloving-sarah.blogspot.com
My GOODNESS you have alot of beauty going on there, Jann! A profusion of blooms ! love it! :)
You have a beautiful yard. Thanks for sharing photos.
I was all set to take some outdoor pictures today but it is raining. Why I didn't yesterday when it was perfect weather eludes me. Dang.
Your blossoms are GORGEOUS - so beautiful, thank you for sharing.
I love May too - finally warm but not too hot - usually. Memorial Day the last several years has been ungodly hot - I walk in a parade and can barely take the heat.
Hugs.
Ohhh I love purple and these are gorgeous !
You have such a lovely garden Jann.
Thank you so much for sharing these photos
What gorgeous flowers-they certainly do make up for the long non-spring.
Have a great week.
Gorgeous colour in your gardens Jann. It looks beautiful. Enjoy!
Your garden is beautiful! I love this time of year when the garden stars to come back to life (and so do we!!) The blossom are my favourite xx
What gorgeous plants!!! We are on our 3rd or maybe 5th year, who's counting anymore lol, with very little rainfall. It seems to be a losing battle. So I am truly enjoying the pictures you have taken.
Oh, your flowers are so beautiful, Jann!! I love seeing all of the purple - thanks for sharing this.
I just have one question--where do you find time to do all this--and blog--and decorate--and craft--and on and on! You're an inspiration, Jann! Love your flowers, too!
Hugs,
Dru
So pretty!!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers. Late Spring here and much was lost due to unexpected cold temps and hard rain.
Hope you are having a great week.
How beautiful! I love the way the blooms are spilling over the rocks. Happy that you are enjoying spring rains. We need some here! '-)
We are so far behind this year. No leaves on the trees yet or green grass. I love the aubretia. I planted them from seed and had them for several years before they died out. Your plants look so good growing over and between the rocks.
Here it is going to be May showers bring June flowers..stop raining! and being cold! your flowers are beautiful, spring is such a time of beautiful renewal!
Beautiful flowers-Jann! Spring has Sprung!
Sweet Hugs!

You have a great eye for garden design. Care to pop over here and give me some ideas? You are much further ahead than our weather allows so I have all that colour to look forward to!
Oh Jann, I just love the colours and the huge clumps of flowers. That's what I always hope my garden might look like!! Joan
Beautiful flowers and photos !

My jaw is dropped from gazing at all these beauties! And that rock garden where some of them are nestled in! Your love for flowers sure does show and I am completely impressed!!
Beautiful! I love this time of year as well, as flowers are one of my favorite things to photograph!
Your garden is beautiful. My mother, who's reading your blog with me, loves your crabapple flowers!
Truly beautiful! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Jillian
your garden is soooo beautiful!
I will not covet my blog friend's flowers...I will not covet my blog friend's flowers...I will not covet my blog friend's flowers....
Okay. I think I'm going to be alright now.
I enjoy your blog so much. Thank you for visiting me and commenting. I know you value comments just as much as I do.
I adore Petunias because I can grow them! They're about the only thing I can grow. ~smile~ My son gave me a big overflowing basket of purple petunias as an early Mother's Day gift.
Blessings to you!

Jann,
Love all of your purple color blooms. It is such a joy to see color in the yard rather than the winter landscape.
Debra
Oh my goodness, such beauty! Can you believe the trees on our street finally sprouted some leaves in the last couple of days? Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers!

Your garden looks amazing. Love the trailing plants over the rock wall. I've heard of silver dollar plants, but never see them here. Really pretty. Thanks so much for hosting a great party.
Such lovely colors! I could spend some time there just relaxing.
A glorious riot of colors! Love them all :)
Such pretty pictures! Spring is definitely my favorite time of year in the garden.
Lovely, your Garden. The colors remind me of the Danish and Swedish gardens I like to visit on their blogs.
I love the Aubretia!!!
HI Jann!
Your springtime blooms are looking fabulous! We are a ways away from blooms like these but we on a roll so it won't be long! I love how you have some of the flowers planted with the rocks..what a great affect! Happy Spring Jann!
Lovely blooms and I really like the rock wall... I'm also partial to weping crabs, with 'Louisa' being my favorite! Larry
following, I love your rock garden. The basket of gold is really lovely
Janice
