And hello again! In this post, you can see what was blooming about one week ago in our garden and the neighbourhood in Northern Italy. The protagonists were the wisterias:
Ta-daa! Mikä olisi ihanampaa kuin liila-violetti sinisade kukassa? Tietenkin vaaleanpunainen sinisade. :) Valkoinenkin on aika kaunis...

Hello dear Sara, sooo beautiful flowers. I love Wisteria too.
VastaaPoistaHave a nice first May... Big hugs ... Dorothea :-)
Happy (First of) May, dear Dorothea! ♥
PoistaMy goodness, such an amazing burst of colour, Sara. It makes me feel good just seeing the pictures, so I can only imagine how you reacted to the real thing.
VastaaPoistaTruer words were never spoken, David! :) The flowers and the warm weather felt wonderful.
PoistaThey are all so beautiful but the Wisteria is stunning. X
VastaaPoistaI so agree, Jules! :)

Noin pitkällä jo kevät ! Upeaa kukkasadetta ja muita kauniita näkyjä 🌺
VastaaPoistaHappy First of May !
Eikö näytäkin ihanalta, Rita? :)
PoistaKukkaisaa toukokuuta! ♥
What beautiful flowers, great photos. Thanks for sharing them with us. Have a blessed day. Madeline
VastaaPoistaThank you very much, dear Madeline! Blessings and hugs!
PoistaOoohh ... ja olin juuri ihastuksissani pikkuisista krookuksistamme! Tämä meidän ilmastoalueemme tuntuu todella arktiselta, kun silmäilee noita italialaisia kukkaryöppyjä! Vaaleanpunaiset `Prunukset` ovat erityisen hämmästyttäviä ja kauniita. En ole koskaan nähnyt rosmariinin noin kukkivan edes Välimeren äärellä. Ihanat kukkaterveiset!
VastaaPoistaKiitos, Pirkko! ♥ Kevät on ehkä paras aika käydä Italiassa. :) Koristekirsikoista ainakin oma on Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan'. Sitä näköjään myydään Suomessa 1-vyöhykkeelle.
PoistaKukkaisaa toukokuuta!
Springtime looks stunning in Italy, the wisteria never disappoints, they are show stealers whenever they bloom but in this post the Peony takes the cake, I love peonies, I'd do anything to grow them in my garden but they don't have enough winter chill to bloom :(
VastaaPoistaHappy May and thanks for sharing these gorgeous pictures.
Thank you, Marcelo! I wish I had had more opportunities to take photos of peonies. They are so very beautiful. I wonder if it would be possible to grow them in pots and move in a cold place for winter...
PoistaHappy autumn!
Hi dear Sara!Your pictures are breathtaking...Just wonderful!!!Fabulous flowers,balm for the soul,feast for the eyes...When I see your header with that beautiful landscape,I imagine myself there!Have a lovely day!Xo.
VastaaPoistaThank you very much, dear Maristella! Big hugs! ♥
PoistaBeautiful pictures. Everything is bursting forth in a celebration of spring. Such a joyful time of year. It is now that I wish we could slow time and enjoy the floral parade even longer.
VastaaPoistaThank you, Peter! Spring is indeed gorgeous - but it feels shorter and shorter every year... :)
PoistaIik, miten ihanaa kukintaa! Wisteria on niin kaunis... Kukkaisaa vappua!
VastaaPoista... ja ihanaa toukokuuta, Satu! ♥
PoistaEvery bit of it is gorgeous!
VastaaPoistaThank you very much, Jill!
PoistaSuch beautiful flowers, Sara, would make anyone's heart sing! I can just imagine the wonderful scent in the garden. Our wisteria, just a single plant, is beginning to bloom and the scent is intoxicating. Happy May Day!
VastaaPoistaThank you, Lorrie! Opening the windows, you were able to enjoy the sweet smell indoors too, especially in the evening.
PoistaMy favourite scent, however, is that of honeysuckles. Unfortunately they weren't blooming yet. Happy May!
This Italian garden is like a piece of heaven! The flowers are radiant and I can imagine the fragrance of the wisteria grapes! Excellent pictures, Sara! I wish you a nice evening!
