Today is May Day, the first day in the merry month of May. I can't help but think that "May Day" is also a call for HELP! Many in our country and our world are crying for help, but the outlook isn't promising. And today I promised you flowers.
The last part of April had been so beautiful here and as we roll into May the sunshine continues and the sequence of blooming keeps on surprising.
We still have tulips.
We have the usual one glorious bloom on our tree peony.
It's Rhododendron time and the few we have are beginning their show.
R. Cynthia is an old rhodie that hasn't bloomed much lately, but this year she is looking lovely. Our extended family just recently lost a wonderful woman named Cynthia. Maybe she's saying "Remember me". We will.
R. King George is magnificent. It is also fragrant.
A few Arisaema's are hiding here and there. Common name - Jack-in-pulpit, but these are not the native ones.
On the front porch the Lewisia's are blooming.
Happy May Day. Happy Spring!
