| A magnolia in full bloom and rock garden perennials. |
I had the amazing privilege of visiting one of the province's loveliest gardens early last evening.. I had a guided tour, but can honestly say that I was so dazzled, many of the exact species have left my brain (perhaps the gardener can help ID some of these plants in the comment section of the blog..?) But, I really wanted to shared these springtime images with you so that you can see what is blooming in my region this time of year. I keep seeing fellow gardeners from warmer areas posting photos of roses, peonies, lilacs and more.. we may not have these plants in bloom quite yet, but I'm in no rush. Especially with gardens like this..
(Also be sure to check the end of this post for some upcoming garden event info!)

| Fritillaria (sigh) and white arabis |

A bit dark (sorry, used my iPhone!) photo of
hellebore and white arabis. Loved the combo! |

| An early blooming clematis |

Look closely.. see all the marsh marigolds in bloom?! Great idea for
a damp and boggy spot in the garden. Do you also see the homemade wooden
bridge at the centre of the bog..? |
 |
A close up on the right side of the bog.. with all those Marsh Marigolds
you can hardly see the water! |
 |
| Seriously gorgeous.. ferns, marsh marigolds, iris.. |
 |
| Hello! A species of veronica I believe.. |
 |
| The terraced garden in mid-spring.. |
 |
| A dwarf form of Jacob's ladder.. |
 |
| Another type of veronica.. |

Butterflies magnolia - MUST HAVE!
Look at the centre of the bloom.. amazing! |
 |
| Another image of Butterflies magnolia.. the blooms look like wax.. |

Was so dazzled, I forgot the name already.. (help!?) It's already been
blooming for three weeks with no sign of slowing down! |
