Spring has arrived in a big way. It seems that many things have bloomed out all at once. As previously posted, my first rose to bloom this year was ‘Mary Rose’, since then a few others are also beginning to share some blooms with us. The majority of the roses have just now broken dormancy and I am looking forward to the day when the garden is in full bloom once again. Until then, here are a few photos I took this weekend of what’s blooming in our Alabama garden…

Chris, Wow! Blooming already in Alabama? I’m leafed out on the roses, but surely I’ve got some time yet before bloom. But nice to see the world will turn warm once again.

Wow Chris your roses are really starting to come on. I love that Cherry Blossom rose. I have never saw one of those. It has a wonderful name and it sure goes with the rose. Beautiful! I plant several irises last summer and fall and I am anxious to see them bloom this spring. Your Jesse Song is a beauty. Have a terrific week.
