April Garden Bloggers Bloom Day at Leavesnbloom


It's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day yet again down in the leavesnbloom garden where I get to share what's in bloom in my garden on the 15th of every month with bloggers from all over the world.  Well what a display of flowers there is to choose from this month!  It was quite a hard decision deciding which ones to showcase as there are just so many garden plants budding and flowering. The weather has been wonderful and many plants and bulbs are flowering nearly 2 weeks earlier than my 2010 GBBD post. This year I've taken a choice of blooms from 3 colour themes to represent April 2011's post.

Yellows
Top left to right: Primrose double, Corylopsis pauciflora , Caltha palustris  (in the pond), Primrose' Emily'.
Middle left to right: Ranunculus ficaria "Flore Pleno", Erythronium 'Pagoda'. Tulipa dasystemon
Bottom left to right: Dwarf Forysthia, Cowslip Primula veris "Cabrillo", Pansy, Daffodil.

Beautiful! You have yellow, blue and purple. I posted on pink last week. Today it will be orange. :)

These are all beautiful mosaics Rosie.

I am absolutely astounded at what is already blooming in your part of the world this time of year. Our spring is a good 2-3 weeks LATE this year.

Andrea on April 15, 2011 8:19 AM said...

Wow Rosie, you have a lot of representatives per color, how beautiful. And of course the photos are so marvelous! If i were you, i might not be able to leave the garden, haha!

Bernie on April 15, 2011 10:00 AM said...

So many stunners! Oh how I love those blues and purples, but the yellows really gladden the heart. Fabulous photos, Rosie.

Rosie - Amazing photos - you've got so many beautiful blooms and the captures are fantastic - love especially the blues and the primrose 'Greensleeves' especially most!

Rosie, I really like the way you have organized your GBBD post by color. There really is so much going on that it's hard to include even a small percentage. Love all the primroses. They are hard to get in the US. Carolyn

Janet/Plantaliscious on April 15, 2011 2:06 PM said...

Good heavens, no shortage of blooming in your garden then! Beautiful. Happy GBBD.

greggo on April 15, 2011 3:15 PM said...

Man a cornucopia of pleasure. Loved the Romans verse. Your collages were very well done.

Lona on April 15, 2011 3:59 PM said...

Rosie you have so many wonderful blooms to share. I am amazed at that primroses with the blue and white blooms. Never saw anything like it before. I love it!

NellJean on April 15, 2011 6:02 PM said...

Oh, the yellows! Oh, the blues! Oh, the pinks and purples! Oh, the dogtooth violet and the viola...!

Caroline Gill on April 15, 2011 6:27 PM said...

An incredible and uplifting display, Rosie. A triumph and true labour of love in terms of garden growth AND blogposting! I'm not really voting as I love them all, but I think the blues (esp. those tinged with yellow) get my top vote!

dorothy on April 15, 2011 6:50 PM said...

Your color collages are just beautiful...picture postcard beautiful! Thanks for sharing and happy Blossom Day!

No way this is not real, I'll die for envy now:)

Elephant's Eye on April 15, 2011 10:45 PM said...

Oh!! A primrose called Greensleeves - I wish our garden would allow that ...

Rose on April 16, 2011 1:12 AM said...

What a feast for the eyes, Rosie! Blue is my favorite color, but it would be hard to choose a favorite among all of these. I do spy a couple of unusual primroses that I am going to have to look for.

Hanni @ Sweet Bean Gardening on April 16, 2011 2:30 PM said...

Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for sharing - what a wonderful many blooms you have so early already.

Curbstone Valley Farm on April 16, 2011 3:48 PM said...

Oh my! I'd be thrilled with a tenth of your blooms, amazing! I'm always drawn to sunny yellows in the garden, but that blue primrose with the veined petals is perhaps the most unique primrose bloom I've seen. Gorgeous!

Donna on April 16, 2011 6:22 PM said...

Love all the color collages...the variety of plants blooming is magnificent

debsgarden on April 17, 2011 2:06 AM said...

Your garden is the epitome of spring! So many fabulous blooms. Your collages are works of art! I love your primroses, especially 'Greensleeves'!

jodi (bloomingwriter) on April 17, 2011 7:42 PM said...

You're wayyyyyy ahead of me, but I reassure myself that my garden will come along, as it always does. And of course, looking at other people's blogs cheers me and helps me be patient. Love the collages you've done here, especially the blue one--that primula sent me into instant plant-want!

Alistair on April 18, 2011 1:51 PM said...

Rosie, such a fantastic array of blooms and colour. The Primrose "Greensleeves I have not seen before, (I want it).

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving a comment and I really appreciate you taking the time to do so. I'll either reply to you on my blog or else make a return visit to your blog over the next few days.
