Sunday in the Garden with My iPad

Judy’s camera isn’t working, so we’ve got to take it to the shop. In the meantime, we’ll have to make due with our iPad. We both took these pictures, mine are distinguished by their fuzzy quality.

honeysuckle April 22 2 — Trumpet honeysuckle.

backyard bl heart April 22 — Bleeding heart and wild currant in the backyard.

wild currant April 22 — Wild currant is an easy and attractive low-growing shrub. As you can see, it has dangling chartreuse flowers in spring. The small black fruit is edible and sour, but the birds are enthusiastic.

peony April 22 — First peony bloom of the season!

wild geranium April 22 2 — The wild geranium have started blooming.

entry to backyard — Brick entrance path into the backyard. We got the arbor last year. I'm growing two roses up the sides - Darlow's Enigma and Westerland.

back door april 22 — Our back door. We inherited the wheelbarrow from the last owners. It was past its useful life, so we turned it into a planter. We're growing dwarf and low-bush blueberries and annual flowers in the containers.

bleeding heart and ferns April 22 — The mighty ostrich ferns emerging from behind the bleeding hearts in front of the house.

red admiral april 22 — There were lots of red admiral butterflies this weekend, and another species I couldn't identify.
