Well, it is May ---but I have more April yard posts to share... Spring is busting out all over around here ---so I just "HAVE" to share!!!! ha... Hope you enjoy my post today... Above is a photo of our front yard looking toward the road from the house. All of these posts were taken during APRIL.
And this is just the opposite: standing in the road looking toward the house!
This is the lower side of our yard... You can see some Forsythia in the background...
Here is another photo of our Red Dynasty Tulips.. They have been so pretty.
And here is a picture of our Purissima Tulips --with some Periwinkle (Minor Vinca) blooming in the background.
This beautiful tulip is named All that Jazz.
Our Hosta is really popping up in most all of the places I have it planted in the yard. Hosta seems to do well when it's shared with Periwinkle.... I'm not sure it will do that well sharing with the English Ivy.... The Ivy seems to take over --more than the Periwinkle does!
This shows Dad Adams' Daffodils blooming like crazy FINALLY. They bloomed like this in March in 2012 instead of April. Everything is about a month behind...
This little tulip is named First Cherry Blossom. It is a beautiful pink and white in color.
Here is another pretty little Daffodil... We have several which are 'different' from many Daffodils in people's yards these days.
This pretty tulip is named Halley's Comet..
We have several of these little yellow tulips in our yard... Her name is Sun Gold.
Finally, here's one more picture showing more of our tulips and daffodils which are dotted throughout the yard..
Hope you enjoyed seeing more of our spring flowers... We love tulips --and have really enjoyed them this year.
Hope you have a wonderful week. I will see you on Monday, May 13! I'm taking another week off to do other things!!!!
Hugs,
Your yard is beautiful, Betsy. Love all the Tulips and your Dad Adams Daffs are really going to town. I do enjoy your yard and garden shots. MB
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I've never seen blooms like in your first three images. What a beautiful spring display you have in your garden. Happy Spring to you! Blessings and hugs Jo
ReplyDeleteOoooh... I like that pretty little "different" daffodil. She's frilly and delicate looking.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I love your tulips. The colors are all beautiful. I wish I could plant them here, but the critters seem to find the bulbs. Lovely photos. Have a great day!

Spring is busting out all over!!! Beautiful and about time! :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteWow, you and your gardener have outdone yourselves. I do hope you don't get the cold snap we are having. Low thirties for tonight. I fear for my buds.
ReplyDeleteHave a good break.
yellow is my favorite flower color, and I love this yellow tulip, but that said the photo of the pink and white is just awesome, beautiful flower and the photo is perfect
ReplyDeleteHave a great week off! Love your tulips, but I am enamored of the photo with the hostas and periwinkle together. Just beautiful. You are inspiring me, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteYour yard is absolutely "picture perfect." You and George both certainly have "green thumbs."
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely yard. Right now I'm just trying to keep things alive! I see buds on my daffs (first ones I've ever had) and have some hyacinths blooming so I am happy.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so colorful and so gorgeous, Betsy! Your photos today really took my breath away!! Such a wonderful variety and glorious colors! There are definitely "green thumbs" living at your house!! Thanks for sharing the beauty!! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed seeing your spring flowers. Have a nice weekend.

Have a good week off, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteYour yard and flowers all look so pretty. Your April looks more like our May! :D
LOVE seeing that gorgeous yard of yours!
ReplyDeleteSpring has definitely come to your house! The tulips, daffodils, periwinkle, and forsythia are just eye-popping gorgeous. Hope you have a wonderful "other things" week.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this unusual daffodil! And the white tulip with the blue background, and the yellow tulip. Your header of the beautiful rose with one water drop is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsey, Your tulips are grorgeous. I love tulips and have planted quite a few here ....but it seems they bloom for about two years and then they just keep burying themselves deeper and deeper and we only get the leaves. Do you dig them up and replant them or buy new every year?
ReplyDeleteSusannah
Very nice selection,i always marvel at tulip beauty.
ReplyDeleteLooks Purdy over on the plateu
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your spring blooms, plants that will not grow down here where it is hot and humid.
ReplyDeleteHappy Gardening and enjoying your bit of paradise.

ReplyDeleteYou two must have done lots of work in your garden to get such a beautiful Spring display. Well done. I like Dad Adam's daffodils the best.
ReplyDeleteAh Betsy, Spring really has sprung at 148 at last!! What a colourful world at your place! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAll the flowers are growing so nicely!!! Gorgeous planters around your yard. I like how you have those sections separated. It makes for any easier planting with a theme in mind. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Yard and Flowers Betsy.. Hope you enjoy your time off.xo
ReplyDeleteBetsy when spring finally got to your house she came in with all her glory.....Your yard is so full of beautiful flowers...
ReplyDeleteTake the flowers when ever you can get them!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, they are all just beautiful. I love Dad Adam's daffodils. They are sure full of blooms!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your tulip friends! Pretty soon we'll be able to post pics of our roses. I have several very small buds on the rose bushes.
ReplyDeleteAnd the spammers....don't get me started! What a nuisance these people are!!!
wow talking about perfection! I love the names of the flowers Betsy.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is beautiful! I love the color, assortment, just everything! I've got to get some Red Dynasty Tulips, they're so pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday to you!

I LOVE the rose in your header. It is truly gorgeous! Your yard - - - I would just have to sit outside and stare at it in wonder at the beauty all day - - - but then it wouldn't be that beautiful if a person just sit and stared at it - - right? Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy, Makes me homesick for the Glade. I do like my new digs here in FL. We don't have a lot of flowers here - just a lot of green. Your yard is beautiful and you and your hubby must be proud of your hard work. Have a joy-filled weekend!
ReplyDeleteHoly Mackeral! Your yard is just bursting with color. I LOVE IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break.
XOXOX
Beautiful shots Betsy. You guys sure do have a beautiful yard.
ReplyDeleteYou should make a series of postcards and sell them! These look fabulous! A real treat seeing that our snow is just now leaving and no flowers are up yet.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so beautiful in your yard. I bet your neighbors are happy to live near you. What a treat it must be to drive by and see all your flowers.
ReplyDeleteI am really, really struggling because we have nothing, I mean nothing, blooming around here. The deer eat everything, and so people just don't bother to even plant. I hate it.
Wow! So beautiful Betsy! The colors of some of those tulips are amazing. Once spring hits, things sure change there in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful colours...lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderfully delicious photos of spring. It's here at last!!
ReplyDeleteYour part of TN sure is beautiful with all the lovely blooms. I would cut back the Ivy or it will take over. Peace
ReplyDeleteDear Betsy, all the flowers are truly lovely, but that forsythia simply took my breath away! Have a good week and enjoy your life! Peace.
ReplyDeleteYour yard is just so beautiful! Love all the tulips and daffodils!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my yard all planted with some color!!
Have a fabulous time at the beach!!

Pretty, pretty, pretty...love the tulips! BTW, we spent the weekend in your fair state...our yr old granddaughter graduated from kindergarten.Quite an event!! The little grads were so cute!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful bulbs. I need to try the periwinkel as Mrs T. love hostas and we have lots them in our shady oak woods...;)
ReplyDeleteYour yard is just beautiful! I especially love all the daffodils. I know it must bring you great joy every time you look out the window and see all this beauty!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week off!
Hugs, Cheryl
Oh my - your garden is so stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour yard is gorgeous! I love tulips. We planted some but I think the squirrels dug them up and ate them--they just disappeared.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely array of tulips and narcissus...I love that apricot-colored one. It reminds me of an Easter dress I had as a child. Gorgeous yard!
ReplyDeletehi betsy,
ReplyDeletejust stopping by to let you know that i linked to you today!
happy weekend~
big hugs!
O.K. you need to charge admission! LOVE the pretty little peach colored daffodil!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and you do have a beautiful yard. So much flowers, its amazing. If I wanted to capture or even see so many flowers, I will have to visit the nearest public garden.
ReplyDeleteDear Betsy!
ReplyDeleteYour yard is something like paradise! All those kind of flowers, it seems impossible to be all together in the same place, that incredible!!!! You must have hands of gold to do so.
Congratulations from Brazil!

Love your tulips Betsy. I think, not only the beauty of the color, but the name of the tulip..."All that Jazz" is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove the landscaping as well.
