Marvelous May in the Garden Part II

My marvelous May in the garden continues with more flowers blooming nonstop.  It seems all flowers love cool spring like temperatures. Every day that I am out in the garden I see more and more flowers in bloom. Everything from astromeria, geraniums, pelargonium, dianthus, dahlias, freesias, roses, lilies, nasturtiums and even amaryllis and mums are in bloom! Did I forget anything? Probably.  Here is a look at what more plants are blooming in my May garden.

  1. Enjoyed watching the flowers in your garden. You have mastered the presentation skills as well. Congratulations and Thank you, Kalpana Sheth.

  2. Pelargoniums certainly do well here. Mine get cut back every spring, so are fresh every year. If not cub back, they gat rust and do not do so well, but are always pretty enough

  3. sensational display of a Garden in full bloom ! It is even better than Rastrapathi Bhavan’s Mughal Garden … i am missing my favorite Tulips ? is the Season over ?

    1. A very generous compliment you have bestowed on my garden Vinatha Mami! Yes, tulip season is over in our area. They dont like any kid of heat and prefer cooler temperatures in 50s and 60s. We have been warmer in the 60s and 70s this last month, but the heat in the 80s has started in June. Not a big fan of the heat about 80 😞. Have a great weekend. Love your Mother’s Day rose bouquet and your new gravatar!
