Looking at the beauty of flowers, the fresh green leaves all over, I feel energized and more positive in this lovely season. Indeed, Summer is just around the corner though in these days we had rains in May, too! <br />Great series of pictures, cute little bunny and gorgeous spring blooms in your yard. Hopefully, there is enough time for vegetation to grow as summer is so near. (*-*)<br />A very sunny month of June and great weekend ahead!

Oh, I just learned from Wikipedia that "they are found across much the same region of South America as petunias, from southern Brazil across to Peru and Chile" and were "named by Vicente Cervantes after Antonio de la Cal y Bracho, a 19th-century Mexican botanist and pharmacologist". :)<br />In the third photo, there's a Finnish Rhododendron cultivar 'Haaga', enough hardy for our cold climate.<br />Big hugs!Sara - Villa Emiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402655388283396110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082774686797129874.post-86920972143978213472017-06-02T15:54:22.611+03:002017-06-02T15:54:22.611+03:00Thank you, Silvana!

I just planted a new centaura 'Black Sprite' and when I went to water it I couldn't figure out which plant it was. Where were those exciting spiky black flowers? Oh, I know - it's the plant that is sheared across and half the height it was yesterday. :-( We have a fox in the neighbourhood and he was poking around our front garden this morning - I think he can smell the bunnies. :-)<br />You were wise to put some fencing around your perennials, I only put dollar store fence lengths to protect the plants I know are targeted.
