I had a particularly busy week in late April, so when I had a few minutes between appointments, I stopped at a commercial garden center and photographed some domestic flowers with my phone and even bought a few petunias. Photos can be found everywhere. Enjoy!
The redbud trees this year seemed more beautiful than ever. Even the one we planted as a memorial to my Mom suddenly bloomed extra well. These were taken in Callaway.
I visited a local You Pick it Farm when they had some nice tulip fields, instead of driving to Baltimore to see Sherwood Gardens. I discovered that Sherwood Gardens was a really long trip. The fields were not only pretty, but I got to bring home a batch of tulips to photograph and bulbs to plant. (although it is somewhat questionable whether they will come up next Spring in our poor soil.)
The farm had really dark purple, almost black tulips, some frilly red and yellow ones and several shades of pink.
The last section we saw in the park included Dogwood trees (Pink, red and white) near the Asian collection. Beautiful!
