The binding is 3/4 done so I should be able to finish it today.
I took a few more photos in the backyard gardens. I think this is a Jonquil. There are always lots of leaves and only a few blooms. The previous owner planted them over 50 years ago.
Here is a closer look at the Hardy Geranium with lavender flowers. Down in the lower part of the photo is a Coral Bell plant.
The pale pink and yellow Columbine is just starting to bloom. The tallest Hosta plants are near it.
Then there is the Lily of the Valley which is choking out everything else. I don't have the patience (or ability) to get down to the ground and pick a bouquet.
Today will be warm in the 70s and then we go right back to the 50s again. It looks like it will be too cold to plant tomatoes on Mother's Day weekend. I hope I'm wrong and that it will warm up.

Yes, that is a variety of jonquil and such a shame to only get a few flowers….but wow, they have been there for 50 years! We were just looking at the forecast and said the same thing about not being able to plant next weekend :-(
Your gardens are really looking lovely, Wanda;)))
Great to get the binding almost to that finished stage, too...
52 here but still strangely chilly...but things are beginning to green up...
Hugs, Julierose...
Lily of the Valley is one of those plants - Today I understand why my mom was adamant that they go but the little girl in me still feels sorry for those pretty flowers.
Lily of the Valley is the Job's Daughters flower. "From the retired place in which it grows we learn humility." Boy, were the ritual writers wrong. It grows ALL OVER including my front flower bed, the north side, and getting into the back yard.
Good to see your binding in the works and what a fun garden tour ~ so full of blossoming plants.
It is always a treat to see your garden spring to life! It was such a great idea to put it right at your doorstep, with stepping stones to move around in it!
it has been cool here again and tomorrow might only be 59 degrees - crazy. And then of course it will go straight to the 80's this "spring" has been a weird one, hot , cool, cold, warm and then hot
