One of my favorite things, especially in the growing season, is wandering around the yard in the morning. The bird song and botanical discoveries really set a good tone for the day.
Today in the garden, a few new blooms are showing themselves. Choke cherry, may apple, aquilegia, lily of the valley and wisteria.
A note on wisteria here in Virginia...they are terribly invasive and non-native. The one in the picture is wild and actually rooted on my neighbor's side of the fence. I tend to cut it back as best I can. This, however, is the first blossom I've seen on the vine. And I do confess I'm rather partial to this flower...especially the scent. So, I celebrate this bloom and will partake of the fragrance...then once again cut the vine back.
