Double primroses

We had a brief sunbreak yesterday (oh, the thrill of sunshine in Seattle!) and I found that some things were happening in the garden.

Almost spring

Seattle’s weather has been colder and wetter than normal. Here is a plum tree in my back yard, trying so hard to bloom, taken on a rare break in the rain.

Muscari

Muscari, or grape hyacinth, was one of the flowers I saw everywhere at the NW Flower & Garden show last week, along with fritillaria, or checkered tulips (see below). Their light blue color was very sweet to see, and will be perfect for an Easter nosegay. #NWFGS

Light blue grape hyacinths, or muscari, decorated many displays at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show in Seattle

Foxglove macro

The foxglove (digitalis) is blooming well this year. A little fertilizer doesn’t hurt, either.

May garden

Out in the garden today, the sun came out. Our part of the yard goes to just after the vegetable beds on the right.
