MsGreen Thumb Jean has recently begun another year of hosting Bloomin' Tuesdays and each week will show us beautiful flowers all around the country.
I'll try and participate as often as I can so you can see the blooms around my garden.
First up: Yellow Rose of Texas. This is the flowering shrub I purchased for 50 cents at a yard sale years ago. It almost bit the dust when we were building on the new addition for Granny...but the excavator salvaged it and hauled it to a new location, and it's still blooming with lots of little yellow roses!
Hyacinths: A new flower this year purchased from a Walmart display table for cheap. The delightful fragrance that I smell every time I walk out the front door makes me wonder why I've never planted these before. (Another first this year were pink tulips! They are past their prime so no picture shown, but they were beautiful!)
Bleeding Heart: This flower has such a different bloom that I marvel at God's creativity every spring when it shows its colors.
Lily of the Valley: Another spring favorite because it grows by a huge rock in this flower bed.
A sea of Candytuft:
Allium: these bulbs are the miniature variety and when fully opened will be medium-sized rather than the giant allium bulbs that I thought I purchased.
The azaleas are full of buds and a few have finally opened up. Here's one of our first to bloom this week. I've always planted azaleas every place we've lived!
Last on this week's tour: Solomon's Seal. And this one was a freebie plant given at one of Andre Viette's garden tours. I like this plant because Solomon is my maiden name, and I love the dainty blooms hanging from the stem. Hopefully, they will spread and fill in the area.
That's what's blooming around Mountain Musings this week. See other flowers over at MsGreen Thumb Jeans!

Your yard is so lovely. Lily of the Valley is one of my favorites. My grandmother used to have them growing all over her yard. I would love to find some to plant here in our yard.

Wow, you have a lot in bloom! About all I have in bloom is three daffodils. ;-)

Such beautiful springtime blooms - we have daffodils and some tulips almost ready to bloom. In a little while our woods will be filled with wild lilies of the valley - they're so fragrant!
Hope Granny and Hannah do well at the craft show!
