June 1, 2015 - Amazing Growth

Things are really growing fast!  I can’t believe how much the yard has changed since May first.  Here are some shots of the yard taken on June first.

New Flowers this week

There are many new things blooming and lots of things budding and pushing up shoots.  The warm weather this week is making Spring come quickly.  Just hope everyone stays careful until after the possible frosts we will be having next week.  But the rains we expect will be a good thing.

Daffodils and Bloodroot.  Had both in the yard for many years.

Not sure what these blue bulbs are.   The pink flowers are one type of Pulmanaria   And Forsythia of course.

 

There are also several Frogs in and around the pond so far.  No singing yet, but they do hang out on the cattail pot every day. 

Update a day later:  The frogs sang all night last night, and today there are at least twice as many in the pond.  Three pairs are hitched together, and soon I think we’ll have a lot of frog eggs in the shallow water.  The fish are already excited! 

Crocuses, Snowdrops and Squills, OH MY!

All have arrived in the last week, along with the Winter Aconite and many sprouting bulbs of tulips, daffodils, alliums, etc.  Nice to see.
