    After the tulips - late spring flowers.

    Published: May 27, 2014 · Modified: May 6, 2022 by momcrieff · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    I LOVE spring flowers.  But, many of them don't last long.  Like my tulips.  The daffodils last a little longer but not that much.   That's why I really enjoy the color that comes in late spring.

    My husband and I purchased a spec. house 8 years ago with no landscaping.  Not even a lawn.  We started from scratch.  But, rather than rush, we hired a designer to  plan out our flower beds and our general landscaping.  I remember telling the designer that I wanted something blooming ALL THE TIME.   And, at the time, that wasn't the norm.  Everyone seemed to put in basic green shrubs and left it at that.  But, I need my blooming flowers.  Especially after the winter.   I do live in Wisconsin!

    Yes, now my tulips and daffodils are fading.

    I love when my late spring flowers start blooming.  My bleeding heart plants always surprise me!

    They seem so delicate.  But they bloom every year and even love the shadiest part of my yard!

    Aren't they pretty?  And, you can see why they are called bleeding hearts.

    I also LOVE when my crab apple tree blossoms.  It's just a huge splash of pink.

    Here is a closer look:

    It's been raining pink petals on my lawn.

    I'm so glad I took the pictures of the blossoms this morning.  A thunderstorm and a huge downpour took down many of the blossoms and made my lawn look even more pink!

    Oh, and my spring plant that I am absolutely in love with is the trillium.   Now, just to be clear, I did buy mine from nursery stock.  In many areas it's illegal to take this from its native habitat.

    {Sigh}.  I so wish you would be around much longer.

    And then the wonderfully scented lilac is also a favorite spring flower(ing shrub).

    Oh the wonderful scent!

    late summer flowers

    I love the deep rich color of this lilac!  I will have to go back the the nursery I bought it from to find out the name of it.  It's just so pretty!

    Surprisingly, no peonies in my yard yet!  Mine are in a shady area and it's just been such a cold winter and slow start to spring.  Soon they will bloom and I will enjoy them too.  Do you have any favorite spring flowers?  What are they?

    On a different topic, I wanted to reassure you that I will still be posting lots of easy recipes and fun DIY's and crafts.   It's just with the late start to spring this year, I've been super busy outside cleaning up and organizing my flower beds and gardens.   So, you get to see what I see and enjoy when I'm outside.  Trust me though, I have some tasty recipes coming and a few super simple but helpful DIY's coming up (hint - Do all your charging cords drive you crazy?  I'll show you how to organize them soon).

    Enjoy the wonderful weather.  We have waited a long time for it!

      What pretty pics. Love the lilac. I bet it smells wonderful in the home. I used to have crabapple trees in a previous home. They are great in the spring and fall. Enjoy.
