In spite of all the tornados some flowers have managed to bloom.
Daffodils were not in abundance this year but the few we did have were gorgeous. As for our tulips, they too did not bloom profusely as usual but our black tulips made a striking appearance.
I have always loved Lilacs. They remind me of being a kid with the tree in our neighbours yard spilling over into our back garden, their fragrance permeating the air. Ah Happy memories.
Unfortunately, lilacs don't do so well here, I guess it is the humidity. This tree is about 5 years old and is only about 3 feet tall. That is all right with me, so long as it keeps blooming.
It was Earth Day on Friday. didn't get to do much outdoors as Mother Nature had her own plans with the rain here. Today was awesome so we've been out in the yard planting herbs, vegetables. flowers and trees which we will enjoy later.
