Ah, my poppets, I have been a bit out of pocket the last week, fighting some bug. Got some good drugs now so I’m on the mend. In between my getting sick and well, it seems spring has finally arrived in these parts! So half the peas got their trellis today and the strawberries now live in their own pot. The 3-foot-tall grass got mowed. And then we have this…
almost-popped poppy
soon-to-be blueberries
spirea
euphorbia
getting-ready-to-bloom prehistoric 20 foot tall rhodie tree
forget-me-not, a weed I don't mind
wish this was scratch and sniff
viburnum
my camera couldn't handle the RED of this!
favorite of this batch
Today’s 70 degrees just leaves us wanting more and dreaming of summer nights and happy hour…Seattle in the summer is the best!
That’s viburnum? Not lace-top hydrangea? I aks, because of jealousy if hydrangeas. Most of mine suffered the cold snap this spring, all the flowerbuds died.
We inherited this with the house, so I am not positive. However, Master Gardener Mike told me he thought it was a viburnum. More research is needed. In any case, it’s quite large and seems unaffected by the cold.
The flowers are similar but the leaves are different. Mine have ridges.

This appears to be what mine is.
