May Flowers

I love when my yard is in bloom. I often come home from work and walk around the yard to see the progress before going into the house. This week the roses have started to bloom. I cut a few to bring in for the table.

They smell lovely too!

I love this pink one. This rose bush was sent to us by Rick's sister. The unique flowers are awesome!
Our backyard has lots of ground cover. This is just starting to bloom and will be really pretty in the next week.

I planted some columbine this year and it's not doing too well. I'm wondering if it's not getting enough sun. Any suggestions?
I don't know what these are called. We planted them a couple of years ago. They are my favorite.
I also don't know what this is. Some sort of ground cover that is beautiful when it flowers. I was hoping it would spread more quickly, but still looks pretty in its little space.
The snapdragons are flourishing, even if the columbine is not.

Can't wait for these to bloom. Bright orange lilies. Last year the deer got to them before they bloomed. Fingers crossed they'll make it this year.

We planted a bunch of fuchsias. They are thriving in all shade in our backyard.

It also looks like we will have a nice little crop of boysenberries, raspberries and strawberries. I can't wait! Not bad for our tiny yard.
