May 15’s Friday Fleurday

44 Comments

Here is a sample of some of the spring glories we have right now.

Very pink rhododendrons.
An azalea and rhododendron cascade.
Fragrant lilac.
Snowball hydrangeas …
… and again in detail.
A rain washed peony.
And a chorus of irises.

In Canada, the long Victoria Day weekend is about to start; please enjoy your camping or barbecuing or whatever you might have planned. For everyone else, have a good regular weekend and don’t forget to enjoy the flowers. 💐

  3. Nature’s colour palette is far better than any Pantone collection and the scents of spring are all about. Loving the lilacs here right now. Heading homeward on Sunday. Hopefully, we will miss the worst Victoria Day weekend traffic. Happy Friday and long weekend Lynette. Allan

    1. Thank you very much, Allan. I agree. Nature’s palette can’t be surpassed by artificial colours. Sunday should be pretty quiet; a good time to avoid most of the long weekend traffic. We’re leaving here on Wednesday headed for Yukon. We’ve never driven there before and are looking forward to it. Safe travels.

    1. Thank you very much! I agree, Maggie. They are everywhere and yes, they take me back to my childhood, too. The sense of smell has the strongest links to memory and I still remember my mother trimming the lilac hedge around our back garden. Cheers.

      1. Yes, even here in the desert! Cacti will bloom, of course flowers and the Mexican Fan Palms. There are tons of Deciduous trees too. 😎

      1. Back east (aka Toronto) the “Two-Four” weekend was also the dividing line for planting your annuals. Plant before the 24th, if a late frost got them, it was your fault for planting too early, but as of the 25th, if a late frost got them… well, shame on God,

  15. You forgot the part of the long weekend that always kept me at work — drive very very safely. It is always such a deadly weekend. OK — now back to the beautiful flowers.

  18. A beautiful display of colours. So many of my favourite flowers too, especially the hydrangeas. We’ll be opening our pool and doing lots of gardening this weekend. Enjoy the long weekend as well.

    1. Yes, I know you like hydrangeas and I thought of you when I posted the pictures. Have a great weekend, Linda. Victoria long is traditionally the start of summer for Canadians and yes, often a yard work weekend. You’ll soon be enjoying your garden and pool though!
