Spring Has Sprung

I may have mentioned this in a previous blog entry, or I may have not, but in either case I've been on a mission recently to rid my yard of calla lilies, or at least the ones that are popping up in inappropriate places, like in plant pots with other plants, or interspersed with my rosemary, or erupting out from under my iris plants.

But I decided to leave the ones here beside the former hantavirus shed.

There's nothing else growing here and they're basically out of the way, so they can stay.

Anyway, the plum is in full bloom now and looking all white and fluffy.

Hopefully I'll get a decent crop of fruit this year, but one never knows.

Elsewhere the geraniums are doing their gerenial things.

And the periwinkle are being their usual unkillable selves.

I've been debating ripping up this one too, as it's a rather aggressive invasive plant, but so far I've managed to keep it contained without too much effort.

The milkwort in the front is doing surprisingly well, despite it repeatedly trying to kill itself.

And the same goes for the spanish lavender.

The french lavender isn't in bloom yet, so we'll give it a few more months before taking some beauty pics of it.

The pink lemonade blueberry is in full bloom.

I'm not expecting a huge crop because the plant is still pretty small, but we'll see how things progress.

The gay goblin is being gay and goblinesque.

And the japanese boxwood is looking green and fluffy.

Though perhaps a bit too green and fluffy, so I gave it a quick trim with the hedge clippers after taking this photo.

All in all the yard is doing quite well so far this year.
