Plants are so smart!

Hello Spring!

Holy moly! The spring flowers around here have been bursting with colors, heavenly scents, and wonderful variety! Plus, so many of the warmer climate plants are loving the heat! In 20 years, our wisteria has produced one meager bloom. My mom and I have enviously poured over magazine spreads and blogs showing overflowing wisteria blooms in trellis form and dripping over bridges. Alas! This hot spurt has breathed new life into ours!!! We at first could not believe our eyes... were those bugs, buds, or a fungus? These mysterious white growths have begun slowly unfurling into our very own obnoxious wisteria display!

(more of these to come!)

And I just had to clip some viburnum for the house -- it smells heavenly!

Wisteria!

Here are some shots of the beautiful wisteria blooms around the front of my house! 

These pictures don't even begin to do the rich purple and yellow accents justice, but please enjoy! Happy spring!
