Today I want to show some of the things we have blooming here in late March and early April. I’ll start with the daffodils. We have quite a few of them planted in various locations, and they have been blooming for a couple of weeks now. They always lend a bit of cheer and color to our garden when little else is blooming.

Another early and dependable bloomer are the hellebores, and we have several different ones blooming now.

The first iris of the year is always exciting to see, especially for my wife (aka The Iris Queen) who has quite a collection! This first one is a short but sweet and well-named dwarf: Riveting. The second to open was another dwarf named Cherry Garden. Last year she had 51 different irises that bloomed, and we always look forward to the annual parade.

Our traditional azaleas are also beginning to bloom now. The red ones are especially pretty so far, and the pink and white ones are beginning to show color.

And last but not least, our Korean Spice Viburnum is covered with fragrant blooms that will scent the air while they are open.
