I planted this patch of pansies last October at church and they have come back in full glory this spring. I have always loved pansies with their cheerful little faces and variety of bright colors.
Also blooming at church is a redbud tree. Notice how the blossoms emerge right out of the trunk as well as in the canopy. A few early leaves and some lingering pods add to the spring drama of this very popular tree.
About to explode into bloom is this 'Coral Burst' Crabapple:
Check back next week to see this crab in full bloom and perhaps that dwarf lilac in a pot by the rock bench will be in bloom. I spend one or two hours on each of the two potted dwarf lilacs every spring after they bloom, trimming off all the dead heads and trying to maintain the "lollipop" shape that Frank (who pays for every blooming thing in this garden) desires. Anyway, I do take some credit for the full blooms on the lilacs, which are looking promising again this year.
