It's the first Bloomin' Tuesday of the season over at MsGreen Thumb Jean's place! There's lots of blooming going on all across the country with this warmer weather we've had this year!
First flowers for this year: Grape Hyacinths! I love the tiny dainty grape hyacinths that pop up throughout the flower beds.
Hannah took this photo and got up close and personal lying down on the ground to get this bee among the flowers:
Some of our blooms have come and gone already...including these hyacinths blooming last week by the front sidewalk:
The weeping cherry was a Mother's Day gift a few years ago, and I've loved seeing it bloom each year. This picture was taken last week, and the lovely blooms lasted only five days:
The Yellow Rose of Texas is blooming again this spring! I love it...but it does send out lots of runners with little yellow rose babies all around the flower bed. You can also see the redbud blooming in the background:
Yellow roses were the first flowers that Tom ever sent to me, so they have a very special place in my heart. Here's a closeup of a branch from last year's Bloomin' Tuesday post:
Join MsGreen Thumb Jean each week for more Bloomin' Tuesday posts. I hope you've enjoyed the spring tour!

Your place really looks like Spring has sprung! It is so pretty. I've never seen a 'Yellow Rose of Texas'...what beautiful blooms. Love grape hyacinths...Hannah did a terrific job taking such a beautiful photograph.

I love Grape Hyacinths. I just adore them. I will have to plant some. I have only had them when I have bought a house where someone else planted them. :-)

Your flowers and bushes are so pretty. Here in the deep south the flowers are in full bloom and the Crepe Myrtles are about to blossom. My garden is is almost completely planted too. However, with all this growth and warm weather comes loads and loads of Poison Ivy and mosquitos!

Beautiful to see your pictures! Your work beautifying and subduing your little corner of the earth blesses us all over the world as well. God is good to give us such lovely plants to look at! Your little tree reminds me of our big weeping cherry which also shows us its beautiful blossoms for only a short time.
