Early bloomers in my garden (April)

3 comments

Few plants that are blooming for us in April . We used to be much warmer this time here about a decade ago. Looks like the seasons shifted. The fall (autumn) is longer and more pleasant than it used to be and winter shifted towards the spring.

I do have a tons of Hellebores to enjoy at end of March and April

Climbing clematis Alpina
I do not have a good luck with clematis. I bought many but they are all disappearing.

There are lots of Forsythias on the property which we inherited.

Heathers that I planted many years ago

Rhododendron Taurus, very early blooming rhododendron and very showy red colour

Early bloomer: Rhododendron ‘Sir Charles Lemon’
I got this rhodo more for its interesting leaves than flowers. It is known for its distinctive dark green leaves with a striking cinnamon-brown indumentum and new leaves unfold with a white fuzzy-woolly coating.

…and another April blooming rhododendron “President Roosevelt”

Camellia Moshio in the pot

Inherited Camellia by the entrance which does not bloom every year but when it does its awesome
