Height of bloom.

We recently strolled in the bush at Wawanosh Lake and found the trilliums are at the height of bloom.

Bright and cheerful.

Seeing this nasturtium flower made for a bright and cheerful start to my day.

Pretty.

Captured these blooms in an untended area at my workplace. Haven’t yet determined what the plant is – thinking a wild pea or other legume. Whatever, they are quite pretty.

Lovely.

Faye captured a lovely image of our redbud tree in bloom.

Bright and cheery.

It feels like spring has been a long time coming. Seeing these bright and cheery crocuses blooming is a very good reminder that yes, spring is coming if not here.

Many of the plants in our garden are in bloom now. Here, the spirea.

Late.

I as a little late in the day to capture these crocuses in full bloom.

Bloom

It’s been a challenging spring for many of the living things in my part of the world. Much wetter than normal, cooler than normal. A lot of our plants have been slower to grow and to bloom than in past years. Climate change? Possibly. An anomalous spring, unusual but not unheard of? Possibly.

Whatever the reason, it only in late May that this iris in our back yard came into lovely bloom.
