WHAT'S BLOOMING AT THE BONAM'S SPRING 2012
The hyacinths have come and gone, as did our daffodils. Thier minature cousins (iris,daffodil, hyacinth and tulips) all bloomed about a month ago, and our crocus have been gone since the beginning of March. The paperwhites have also bloomed and faded by the time we took these photos.

Since we dove right into projects this spring, we didn't get pictures taken and uploaded to the blog as quickly as we should have. Sadly, these pictures were taken a few weeks past the tulip's prime.
None-the-less, they are still beautiful spring pictures of the Big Blue House.
These pictures are the fruits of our labor (and the cause of our previous November back injuries)

A few weeks earlier the Rhododendron behind the Azaleas was in bloom as well. This photo was taken after I had cleaned up the area and snipped quite a few spent tulips.

It's a pity that we didn't snap a picture of this sooner. The corner fence had many more hyacinths and tulips a few weeks earlier. That is an Olga Mezitt Rhodo behind the fence. Each spring she is STUNNING. Every passer-by asks about Olga.

The photo to the right is of our Native Praire Garden. This photo was taken early April...and YES those are coneflower next to the tulips. They came up REALLY early this year.

In just a few weeks, the tulips on the berm will be traded out for Allium. I cannot wait to see that. I adore Allium.
