"The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day."- Robert Frost
This April was rather warm and didn't shower us with a lot of rain as expected. Nevertheless the Spring flowers put forth their cheerful blooms -early blooming phlox, Japanese roof iris, dianthus and a shrub rose ( above ) are some of the earliest to appear.
In my front yard forest the 'Prague' and ' Mariesii ' viburnums are blooming and in the foreground the cobalt-blue ajuga. This area is a rain garden since all the run-off collects there. The sedges soak up a lot of the excess.
The boulder garden is coming alive with the tiny yellow 'lady banks ' rose and Chinese snowball viburnum.
Above, my new moss garden is thriving in this shady nook.

Despite the lack of April showers the boulder garden is coming along nicely. Now for some May rain !
