SPRING SCENES – PART 2

05.07.21

I’m back with some more spring scenes as captured during walks around the neighbourhood with my best bud Dobby. Even though it’s been a bit on the chilly side lately, spring is trying her best to keep blooming.

This latest Ontario-wide lockdown has been taking a real toll on everyone but seeing how nature blooms in place, despite the unpredictability and harsh realities of life, is inspiring me to keep looking forward.

I thought you might enjoy another tour of some bright, bold colours and the beautiful shapes that the spring season has been delivering around these parts.

Do join me for a wander!


AUBRIETA

Named after Claude Aubriet, a French flower painter.



GRAPE HYACINTH



REFLEXED STONECROP



SPOTTED DEAD-NETTLE



STAR MAGNOLIA



THUNBERG’S BARBERRY

(I believe these are two different varieties.)



MOSS PHLOX



KOREAN CHERRY



FLOWERING QUINCE



AUBRETIA

Another variety in a lighter purple.



ALPINE ROCKCRESS

I shared this in the last Spring Scenes at an earlier stage in their bloom. I love the density of all the little white petals.



WINTER-ACONITE



ROCK CRANE’S BILL



TULIPS



DUSTY MILLER



CALLERY PEAR TREE



GREAT WHITE TRILLIUM

Ontario’s provincial flower.

A common misconception is that it’s illegal to pick these. While it’s not actually punishable by law, it’s not cool, so just leave these beauties be.



THANKS FOR JOINING ME ON ANOTHER LITTLE GARDEN TOUR! ARE ANY OF THESE BLOOMING WHERE YOU LIVE TOO?

Wishing you all a great weekend!

    As a flower lover I enjoyed these photos. Thanks Lee! We have a few flowers flowering in our pots but the leaves are turning colour on the deciduous trees now it’s autumn (fall).
