My first Bloom Day…and it’s tax day. Not a good combination.
Late start…west coast…I’m sure no one is catching this tonight. I’m even going to cheat and post ‘old’ pics. I took some today, but it was a bit late. These are from about a week ago.
Flowering Trees
Coral Tree (leafing out…losing it’s flowers)
Honey Locus (leafing out…losing it’s flowers)
Tabebuia (pink) (leafing out…losing it’s flowers)
Pomegranate
Several citrus trees (I’ll add detail later)
Apple
Flowering Plants and Shrubs
Lilac
Calla Lillies
Collette Rose
(The other, dark pink) Rose
Red Geranium
Lavendar
Rock Rose
Nasturtiums
Gerber Daisies
Ranuculas (on their last leg)
Salvia…can’t remember the name…not Mexican
Mexican Primrose
Mom’s Trailing Geranium
Pink Camelia
Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
As much as these close-up shots are one of the things I really like to photograph, I don’t think they accomplish what I want to accomplish by participating in Bloom Day. I do want to document more of the overall look of each plant and tree and area each month. So I’ll still put together a set of photos on Flickr over the next couple days to accomplish that. But I’m happy to get this going.

Thanks for joining us for the tradition of bloom day. I have visited a lot of gardens via blog posts, and I think you have the first lilac I’ve seen. Must be nice where you are!
They’re actually already fading.
We were in the 90’s last weekend.
