Spring beauties

My wander in the Botanic Gardens yielded many spring treasures. 
The simple beauty of magnolias ...
... led to some stunning dogwoods in flower - pink ones ...
... and pure white ones.
And then came 
the showy, voluptuous rhododendrons ...
... such show-offs!
In contrast, the simplicity of tiny geraniums ...
 ... and the cheerfulness of common daisies ...
A stunning clematis rambled casually along a fence top ...
... and tall, graceful columbines nodded in the breeze ...
And here come the roses ...
... the first of many for the season.
A lovely, lovely walk in the warm Spring sunshine.

  4. Beautiful photos.
    I used to have a pink Dogwood but my husband decided to move it, against my wishes and it didn't survive. They are not that common over here and I still haven't found a replacement.

    Love and hugs Gina xxx

  5. I love it so much reading in your blog, bloom. And this morning I enjoy watching your wonderful spring photos. I just imagine you walking in the warm sunshine while here in Germany the weather is windy and rainy. Typical for autumn!
    Thank you for your wonderful blog and your photos.
    Best wishes
