I am at home in British Columbia where everything is a-bloom.
Common viburnum. Rue or Basket of GoldThis rue was being used as a ground cover, but it’s beautiful in a hanging pot, too. Viburnum opulus. This is a sub-species of the plant in the first picture, but it has been hybridized to produce these rich, dense blooms.
I agree. I’ve always known it as rue, but then I found out that it’s also called Basket of Gold. Such a great name for this intensely yellow-flowering plant.
It was so great to find a rock garden covered in it and surrounded by rhododendrons; such a profusion of growth and colour! Thank you very much – we are having a long weekend, so that’s always great! I hope you’re having a good one too.
Yes, I will be! I have to finish up some work stuff remotely and I might have to return to NWT for a couple of weeks in August or September but otherwise I am in BC and soon will switch my health care and driver’s. Yay! 😁

I love this time of year when everything is in bloom and full of colour. Looks beautiful. Enjoy your weekend. Linda
Thank you very much, Linda. It’s nice to be back home enjoying all the late spring blooms. Happy long weekend.
Nature’s blooms do bring joy. I love the look of the Rue. Can’t wait for the fields of canola blooms. Happy Saturday Lynette. Allan
Thank you very much, Allan. Yes, the canola fields are spectacular! I miss seeing them; they’re so beautiful. Happy long weekend.
Beautiful flowers! Happy Saturday, Lynette.
Thank you, Sue. We have a long weekend, and that’s always great. Cheers.
Basket of Gold, fabulous name for this plant! So pretty 😊

I like viburnum. It’s not traditionally known for being a spring flower like tulips or daffs, but I enjoy its simplicity. Happy Weekend to you!

Can you stay a while now?
Yes, I will be! I have to finish up some work stuff remotely and I might have to return to NWT for a couple of weeks in August or September but otherwise I am in BC and soon will switch my health care and driver’s. Yay! 😁
I second that “Yay!”
Thank you!
