THESE LITTLE WHITE FLOWERS ARE IN BLOOM NEAR OUR FRONT PORCH. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE:


LOTS OF BEARD-TONGUE PENSTEMON ALL OVER THE YARD:




LAST YEAR'S NEW LITTLE COREOPSIS PLANT IS GOING TO TAKE OFF THIS YEAR:


WE HAVE MANY CATMINT PLANTS AROUND THE YARD. YARROW IS ABOUT TO BLOOM JUST IN FRONT OF THIS ONE:

Our plum tree.

We have this tree in our back yard with dark red leaves ... and right now it is all covered with fragrant blossoms. We have wondered for almost a year now what kind of tree it is.

Here's how it looks right now in full bloom:









ISN'T SPRING WONDERFUL???
