Bloom Day - May 2011

It's my first official Bloom Day!  For those of you not "in the know", Bloom Day is the brain child of Carol from May Dreams Gardens.  On the fifteenth of each month, garden bloggers across the country post pictures of what is in bloom in their garden.

Upper Row: Salvia, Knockout Rose, Dianthus
Middle Row: Viburnum, Geranium, Centaura
Bottom Row: Nodding allium, the last rhododendron, and Dogwood 'Kousa'

I'm still surprised every single day in the garden. The centaura is growing from within a clump of holly and the nodding allium is in a bed that will soon be gone (mental note: dig it up and buy some more).  I also found two types of oxalis and a wild rose, but the pictures didn't do them justice.  I know posts like yesterday's make it seem like gardening and blogging about gardening is a chore, but I really am enjoying it...both the gardening and the blogging.

Have a great week, everyone!
