April 2010 Bloomsday Post!

For a long time, I've enjoyed everyone else's Bloomsday Posts, now I'm finally ready to jump in with my own.... Here's what's blooming in my Zone 7ish Seattle garden.

It's a 4-fer---Welsh poppies just about to bloom in the foreground, hellebores, and two kinds of Bleeding Hearts.
I can't resist up-close pictures of the bleeding hearts...

The hellebores continue to go strong. Ciscoe was right, cut off those old leaves! And those bleeding hearts...I love 'em.

These little primroses are reliable little shots of brightnesss..

Trilliums under the Solomon Seal...with a bonus Welsh poppy about to bloom.

Lilacs! The sure sign that spring has sprung, in my mind.

Chives in the garden.

A volunteer tulip in the veggie bed...not exactly sure how it got there, but it's gorgeous.
The last of the kale---it's so light and airy that I can't cut it off yet.

So there it is, spring in Seattle, April Bloom style.
