Happy Thursday! Last week I shared the beginning buds of greenery in my neighborhood. This week I am sharing some of the first blooms in my humble garden. I do not have a green thumb, so any flowers that do manage to show up are miracles to me. Aside from the flowering weeds that I love until they overtake my lawn, I am fortunate to be blessed by a few more cultivated friends, perennials who visit me every year around this time. And so without further adieu, I give you this week’s installment…First Blooms!
Creeping Phlox
First few Roses of the season, dew still clinging to the leaves!
…And the other one that found hidden in the back of the bush. I wish I had smell-o-vision so you could enjoy not only their beauty in appearance but their wonderful fragrance as well! 🙂
See other “neighbourhoods” or submit snapshots of your own corner of the world at a cooking pot and twisted tales. Thanks to Jacqueline for hosting this fun challenge!

I noticed a few closed buds this morning and thought maybe in the next week or so…then this morning I walked out to TWO blooming buds. I am so excited. I’ll post a photo when the bush is in full bloom. It’s spectacular! 🙂

Without green fingers and you have such a bloom, just imagine if your thumbs were green? That rose is really a beautiful bud.

Oh I know. I am an “accidental gardener” I think! Haha! Roses are one of my favorites. 🙂

My mom use to grow roses, I loved going out and picking them. However, my ability to grow them is somewhat lacking.

These are climbers and I literally don’t have to do much with them. It’s definitely a miracle every year when they bloom!
