Plentiful perennials

Whoever planted this lovely flower garden in the backyard of the house my mother has been renting certainly knew what they were doing.


As soon as one kind of flower wilts and dies, another equally colorful one comes along to take its place. The timing is extraordinary.
So far it seems there is not a day during the spring or summer when there is nothing in bloom.


It started in late April, when the forsythia bushes bloomed. They were surrounded by white and yellow daffodils, patches of tulips, and later some lilac and rhododendron bushes.


Since my mother will be moving out at the end of August, I took some pictures yesterday afternoon for posterity. She said she knows she'll miss looking out the window at the beautiful backyard. And who could blame her?


Lilies, Black-eyed Susans, lavender blooms, deep blue hydrangea...





Gorgeous, and blog-worthy~
