Bloom Day: April 15


Spring blooms!

One of my favorite spring-flowering shrubs, Prostanthera rotundifolia, is just starting to come into bloom after teasing for months with developing buds:


 
Fairy bells Disporum longistylum 'Green Giant' just starting to open:
 
 
Purplish-black flowers of kohuhu, Pittosporum tenuifolium. Supposedly these are highly scented but I couldn't detect anything:
 

 

 
Silver new growth and orange flowers on the butterfly bush Buddleia 'Orange Sceptre':

 
 Pacific Northwest native Tellima grandiflora, fringe cups:

    These are fab photos. I love Tellima grandiflora - it's such a good do-er and pretty too.
