Corner bed filled with perennials. Because we had such a hard freeze this winter, the verbena did not come back. I am missing their pretty cascading blooms.
Gladiolus (gladioli?) popping up. These are passalongs from Grandma. I received even more this spring.
Phlox
First iris buds.
Hydrangea, hostas, Autumn ferns, and cast-iron plant begin to grow in this shady spot under my mimosa tree. 
Bridal Wreath Spirea blooms and frames the front porch steps. My mom top-pruned it a little too hard, so it lost some of its cascading shape. Ooops!She was just trying to be helpful.
Indian Hawthorne buds out.
Bridal Wreath Spirea blooms, in detail.
In the rose garden: Lambs' ears, shasta daisy, all-purple Mexican bush sage, and russian sage. Along with my yellow and peach roses: Ambridge Rose, Tamora, Molineux, and Golden Celebration.
Raised beds for veggies.
The new plum tree ain't lookin' so hot.
Isn't the color on these azaleas divine?
Azalea "Purple Formosa"
Carolina jessamine

Hmmm that spirea up close looks NOTHING like my spirea.... How odd!
My jessamine isn't blooming this year for some strange reason. I wonder if it's in too mcuh shade, or if it's just taking some time to adjust to its new home. It has lots of healthy looking new growth.
Your yard is looking great!!
I was looking on Dave's Garden, and I think mine might be a Van Houtte Spiraea instead of Bridal Wreath. Is yours a Bridal Wreath?
what a great way to start the day, getting a glimpse at new growth from your perennials! Just today I saw the tiniest little leaves emerging from the lantus that was stepped on and disappeared before we even moved in back in November. I was so excited! Call me anytime about flights. I can work my schedule around you to pick you up from the airport. Which days are you flying?
