April Flowers

Welcome to my April garden!

Amid the shoots of summer flowers, the first spring flowers are already in bloom. These are a kind of tulip called tarda.















It's amazing that they can grow so quickly - and bloom mere weeks after the last snow!














The scilla are blooming in various parts of the yard.















Even the ivy that has taken over my rock garden is in bloom! (You may have to click on the picture to see its tiny blue flowers.)

These "appetizers" are just a taste of the feast of flowers to come!

In other parts of the yard...














the rhubarb is also growing...














... while a watchful rabbit waits.
