It has been a very long Winter, very long. May is here and Spring has started – finally. It has been so cold and wet, even the Spring is slow in coming. Last night there were frost warnings for the area and tonight there are freeze warnings for the areas West of Gardens at Waters East. Yet the flowers have begun to show and bloom. It is the little things that make gardeners happy!
Here are a few photos of the early May flowers now blooming and bringing color and life during these first two weeks at Gardens at waters East. It is indeed a joy to see them.
Enjoy

How beautiful! Two I wasn't familiar with are Petasities japonicus and Panacides japonica. Fascinating plants! You captured everything in the perfect light. It must be beautiful by the lake these days!
