Wow, so many beautiful flowers and wonderful photos. Definitely a wonderful spring.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers & butterflies! :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteVERY pretty combinations, I should think.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Jennifer. At least you still have a spring going on. It seems like ours was a long time ago.

Hi Jennifer
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots!! Looks like the weather really cooperated for you.
If that yellow daffodil you couldn't find the tag for was quite short and dainty, could it be 'Hawera'? They are a joy to have and last for weeks.
Astrid
Astrid, It certainly does look very similar to 'Hawera'.
DeleteSo many beautiful tulips and bright spring colors! Thanks for sharing your visit.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting to see flower combinations. What a treat to see butterflies and lady bugs too.
ReplyDeleteOh, all the pictures are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEach image is prettier than the one before - I loved the Flaming Spring Green tulip and the bed of pink tulips under planted with tiny daffs - and the mahonia (a reminder of my own garden) - all lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers ! The white flowers are the ones that stole my heart right away !
ReplyDeleteThe multi coloured tulips are so gorgeous !
Jennifer, I have send you my reply ( on your query in my blog) in your email address.
Have a nice day !
Wow Jennifer, what gorgeous spring blooms. I love your Oregon Grape shrub blooms. Mine has never bloomed yet for me. The white anemone blooms get my attention though. How pristine and lovely they are.
ReplyDeleteLona, The Oregon Grape shrub is not mine. I saw an Oregon Grape for the first time last week at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton and then yesterday at Edwards Gardens here in Toronto. It is gorgeous, isn't it? And the fragrance is divine!
DeleteWonderful post Jennifer and great timing. I'm puttering around my flower garden these days moving plants and eyeing up 'holes' in the design trying to figure out what should go where. Loved the combination of white daffodils and anemones. Think I might order some white daffs now in fall to plant with my anemones.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I like the tulip with opened petals and its stamens are already crumbling.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Spring is gorgeous in your area. I love the Queen of the Evening tulip combo! Enjoying your spring blooms, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteOh, Jennifer, you have such a beautiful garden ... Thank you, for the tour !
ReplyDeleteDani, I'd like to take the credit for all this beauty, but I cannot. The spring bulb combinations shown here are all from Edwards Gardens which is a public garden here in Toronto.
DeleteFantastic blooms and so many lovely colours. We are still too cold and wet for butterflies unfortunately. Could your yellow and white narcissus be "Pipit" with a gorgeous perfume, mine looks very similar and are flowering now.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the narcisssus and anemone combination - stunning in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteLovely images, Jennifer. This garden really is pretty at this time of year. I have to get to see it sometime.
ReplyDeleteMade my day - great images Jennifer! I used fragrant Thalia daffs in my blue and white containers this year - so pretty. I agree with Pauline, I think the yellow and white narcissus is Pipit - a wonderfully sturdy variety.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen and Pauline, I think that you are both right and this is Narcissus 'Pipit'.
DeleteFantastic photos Jennifer, you have such an eye.
ReplyDeleteYour posts and especially the photos are always a pleasing oasis in a busy day. I don't think that is A. nemorosa, the flowers aren't that tall and the stalks aren't that sturdy. I could be thrown off by the camera angle though, but could it be A. sylvestris?
ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn, I did my best to identify everything properly, but you may be right. I have removed the name of the particular variety and will stick with 'White Wood Anemone' until I can be certain.
DeleteA page full of flowers and bright sunny spell's must be a wonderful garden to visit. A treasure to my eyes Jennifer.

Stunning photography Jennifer, the light is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove that you captured some critters amongst the bloom.
Paul
Such beautiful photos! Loved them all!
ReplyDeleteSome really lovely combinations, spring is such a beautiful season. here's my reply to you comment "See my post on Rosa Rimosa, that fades to peachy apricot then falls." Christina
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous spring photos! You have such big ladybirds, our are all very small.
ReplyDeleteWow! Absolutely gorgeous photos!
