Final set includes a repeat from the first, Babylon, the giant white one with magenta speckled throats next to the red Japanese maple, such a nice combo.
[3/3]

This soft lemony yellow one was my favorite of the day.

Incoming thread of rhododendron blooms.
I don’t think it rained in Portland much today while I was away, but it rained where I was and made for lovely water droplets on all the things.

7am view from the kitchen window while making coffee. Not bad.

That little maple has quite a story. I began writing about it on my Substack but now that I’m no longer posting there, it might a good candidate to finish on the weblog.
More shots of it from today. It’s also one that changes color three times in the year.

Today the brunnera is finally attempting to catch up with the giant pulmonaria.

Who wants yard pics? I have yard pics!! Today’s overcast sky is great intensifying colors.
The compressed spring timeline has made some overlapping bloom times of plants that normally miss each other by a week or so.

💙💜 I'm sorry (no, I'm not) to keep sharing photos of this pulmonaria, but how can I not share photos of this pulmonaria?
It is giant this year, the left-hand one is nearly 18-inches tall and 2-foot across. There's an entire brunnera plant blooming between the two pulmonaria in this picture and you can't even see it!

Some shots from the garden today.
I expect the next 7-10 days to be transformative in the garden as temperatures finally warm up.

Bonus lichen in my attempt to get a close-up of the crabapple buds.

One more: galvanized tub with narcissus, pansies and violas, and dusty miller. A severely pruned flowering quince and a pair of ogon sedges blend nicely with it.

Except for these pots, which I planted completely willy-nilly last fall as far as color, but boy do they just light up the patio this spring.
