April Flower Overload

Every day something else blooms in the yard! Seattle has a potential of snow this weekend but the plants are laughing at the forecast and just doing their thing.

Here are a bunch of photos from the last few days.

Species tulips popping up in front–these are pretty late compared to prior years
Freesia laxa in the greenhouse
Veltheimia in the greenhouse

The rain today only made them prettier
Purple deadnettle has really spread all over the yard due to poor weeding habits. It has its own beauty, too, though, but needs to be weeded before it all goes to seed.
