Spring has finally arrived at Purdville. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost some of my photo gallery features when I switched to this new design. You can click on each thumbnail for a larger image, but then you have to use your browser’s Back button to get back to the thumbnails.
Also blooming:
- Creeping phlox
- Narcissus poeticus, ‘Irish Laddie’, and ‘Curly Lace’
- Lilacs: light purple, single white, double white
- Pulmonaria (lungwort)
- white violets
- Flowering almond
- And, of course, the mystery plant of the previous post
Inspired by the words of Elizabeth Lawrence, “We can have flowers nearly every month of the year,” Carol of May Dreams Gardens started Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. On the 15th of every month, garden bloggers from all over the world publish what is currently blooming in their gardens, and leave a link in Mr. Linky and the comments of May Dreams Gardens.
Here in Central Wisconsin we don’t let the cold weather stop us from gardening! Helped my sister move a whole lot of plants this week end. Gardening is a true passion! Have some pictures of my own and some plants and garden decor at my site. Have a good summer!
I would have been more worried about the frost warnings if I had as much in bloom as you do. What a floriferous spring garden! I hope you were lucky and the frost missed you as it did me. And now we are having lovely warm weather. I’ll be out planting. Some spring bloomers included.

I sure hope you don’t get a freeze! It is good for spring and its blooms to finally make it to your garden. It would be just wrong for you to have a freeze now.

Never seen a trillium quite like yours before – lovely. I also have the Bonfire euphorbia. It gets better every year and puts on quite a show. As you say, it’s a keeper!

You’ve got some interesting twists on a couple of old favorites. My Jack in the Pulpits don’t have that much purple in them, and I’ve never seen a pink Mertensia. I find it funny that you have listed the Brunnera but not the gorgeous Trilliums in that one photo. They look lovely together.

Worse than that. Weather service has issued a freeze warning: “Tonight, with clear skies and light winds temperatures will fall below freezing. Low temperatures late tonight will be in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. Some rural valleys could be even colder.” And I live in a rural valley. When they predicted a light frost I got 28F, so . . .
