Blooming flowers

I love this time of year with Mother nature bestowing gorgeous gifts of color.
The weather here in California will be quite warm this week.
Time to bring out the patio furniture and enjoy the warm sun on our faces.

I took a stroll around our property recently and captured pictures of our flowers in bloom.
It is such a lovely feeling to walk around and take in the beauty.

Our lovely Clematis in full bloom.

Verbena

We have lots of Lavender, even more than this...........

 Rock Rose

These Rock Rose flowers always remind me of a paper flower.


Dianthus in multiple colors.

Love this two tone rose.

Pretty yellow roses.

Passion Flower, such a unique flower.

Tearose

Mini Petunias that came back from last year.


Our front yard and Big Hill.
 

 This Trumpet vine will soon be filled  with flowers.


Here's our garden.  Lettuce came up from last year, along with some carrots.  I have  different varieties of tomatoes growing too.

 Have a great week and I hope you all are having good weather...May  shall soon be here.

  2. It's all so gorgeous, Linda! Just wondering who cares for it all...I see a lot of dead heading and cutting back and how do you do spring cleanup where all that lavender is? We used to have about 6 single plants that were spread apart and it was always so hard to get the fall leaves out! Any tips or just hire a landscaper?

  10. Hi Linda! Such pretty flowers! Your season is about a month ahead of ours. I don't think I've ever seen blue verbena! It's beautiful! We have lots of colors of verbena around here, just not blue. Or maybe I just need to go to more garden centers! The roses are beautiful as well! Such a beautiful place to live! Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!

  12. LINDA! I keep getting notification on your posts SO LATE! I would have been here sooner is I had known you had posted. This is the perfect post for me today since we had SNOW today! The colors just have to be making you so happy; I know I am happy as I blog and see that spring has indeed arrived in other states and other parts of the world! Thank you dear one, for coming to visit me. YES! I am featured on Robyn's beautiful blog today! Anita

  13. What a nice tour of your flowers. I like Verbena but it's only an annual here. That's really nice that those pink petunias came back- I love "volunteers" like that! The walkway up through the arbor with the trumpet vine looks like a scene from Tuscany!

  15. Hi Linda, Love your flowers and thank you for the walk through the garden. I do this each morning too and can see how the flowers grow just over night. It is amazing. You have many of the same flowers I do and I just planted the Trumpet Vine to replace the only rose arch I lost this year due to the bad winter.
    Thank you for sharing. Just beautiful!
    Hugs

  25. Pink and purple are two of my favorite colors, so I love that you have so many flowers of those colors in your yard.

    I can almost smell those roses through the computer.

  26. Get Ready as National Geographic (or whoever ;)) is heading your way... headline is "Paradise on Earth FOUND".
    So much Beauty!!! In your own backyard :D
    I'm on the prowl for one two-tones rose for my humble garden... the lavender is on hold for my front yard... I really want to enter home and smell it.
    Thank you for sharing your own slice of Paradise. Enjoy,
    Teresa
