The “before” photos have answers now! My odiferous friend
has beautiful flowers, which make its early smell worthwhile. It grows fast and
will need drastic trimming despite the lovely blossoms.
No photo of the butterfly bush, as the color is not showing
yet. Could the tree be apple or quince? Delicate pink petals, waiting for the
fruit. Stay tuned!
No lilies yet, and the random unidentified plant in the
first post has simply grown more green so far.
The yellow blossoms are done, and the red stems are now
covered in pale green leaves edged with white. I think the bleeding heart
hypothesis is wrong- revised to peonies.
The lawn has been mowed several times now, and thankfully
the little white flowers keep popping up, which makes me happy. The photo above was a pleasant surprise- no idea these beauties were on the way!
I didn’t take pictures of the familiar forsythia and lilac
in the back yard, which were so nice to see. Instead, two more bursts of
blossoms popped up since the original mysteries post(above).
Also, the rhododendron in front of the house redeemed itself
by overflowing with fuchsia heads of blossoms! I don’t know why I’ve never been
a fan of rhodies, and it will still need trimming after the blooms are done,
but not as much as I had planned.
