Blooming in May

Greetings from my garden home,

Let's wander around and see what is blooming, I am really not a yellow flower person but it seems that in Early May that is what is blooming here.Or are those blooms?  Well what we think are blossoms are really leaves because this is a spurge, one of those plants  like the poinsettia that actually has tiny little blooms and what appears to be yellow blossoms are actually bracts, which surround the tiny little flowers. It is only beginning to show its color.

Then here is where I enjoyed my coffee today. My poor husband, with this early spring he has lost me to the garden a month early. It's not my fault honey, honest!

 This is one side of my garden room. The space is approximately 25 x 40 ft and surrounded by a 6 ft stockade fence, unfortunately we are only 8 ft from the road so the fence helps make for a very private sanctuary where we spend lots of time.

 Since I am in the process of removing the Monarda, I thought I would show you what this exact space looked like last year on the 4th of July.

There is a small deck and a slider that opens into this space from our kitchen so everyone enjoys this space.I love my garden room and have been working on it since 1996, before then it was a wasted side yard too close to the road to use at all, but now we have trees, bushes, herbs and lots of flowers and once in a while dinners, parties and grandkids learning about nature and gardening.

 To see what is blooming at some of the other flower gardens around the world, click the Bloomin Tuseday and visit Jean who has the list of everyone that is participating today.    Enjoy your day.I'll be in the garden!  Sincerely Meg
