It's party day in the garden blogging world. On the 15th of each month, Carol at May Dreams Gardens hosts Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day so gardeners all over the world can share photos of what's going on in their gardens. Connecticut gardens party hearty in May. Here's some of the blooms in mine zone 6 gardens.
What a glorious few days … warm temperatures, strong sunshine, and blooms popping out all over. Time for spring bulbs to shine if they can escape the creatures so active in my Connecticut gardens.
Connecticut is having another spring-like day, but it's still not warm enough outside to cause abundant blooms to share this February 2012 Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day. For those new to this blog meme, on the 15th of each month Carol at May Dreams Gardens hosts a virtual garden tour. Garden bloggers around the world show off the blooms in their gardens and link their posts to May Dreams Gardens. All you have to do to take the virtual garden tour is follow the links you'll find there.
With no blooms in my outdoor gardens eyes are drawn to the subtle colors of a so-far snowless winter. I bundled up for a winter morning photo stroll to see what winter color might reveal itself for this first Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, kindly hosted by Carol at May Dreams Gardens, of 2012.
Unusual weather remains the topic of conversation in our neck of the woods. We continue to have heavy rains and, after chilly early-month temperatures, we've had a revisit of summer-like heat and humidity. Fall foliage has yet to blast in with its usual color. Salty tropical storm rains from Irene turned many tree leaves brown causing an early leaf drop. Leaves that remained have been slow to turn and, so far, show less brilliant color than Connecticut-living leaf watchers expect.
