Three Spring Blooms

It's Thursday! I'm joining in with Cindy at My Corner of Katy and her Three for Thursday meme. Here are three photos of spring blooms in Davis...hopefully all things that will survive the cold storm blowing in even as I write.
 The ornamental plum Krauter Vesuvius is blooming on its lower branches and the blooms are working their way up the tree.

Lavandula pinnata buchii, leucojum aestivum, Viburnum Spring Bouquet, and Camellia Chandleri Elegans combine for a nice vignette.

         Reticulata Iris Springtime. Unless it is Harmony.

Spring has arrived in your garden. I love these blooms.

Frances said...

It is wonderful. I have Harmony, much darker solid blue with leaves much taller than the flowers. Here in TN anyway. Happy Spring! :-)

Leslie, thank you for joining in the trifecta! I love that Iris ... I wish reticulatas would grow here!

I agree with Frances, definitely not Harmony, but very pretty. You can't go wrong with Iris reticulata. And the tree is magnificent.

My Three for Thursday blooms had to come out of a catlog.

Oh Leslie! Your posts crammed with lovely flowers are killing me... such a mix of what will live in a warm climate and what grows in the north. And apparently you have one of everything!
