Dans le jardin
May is busting out all over, and almost everything blooming right now seems to be yellow or some shade of purple.

Lovely shots here, Pseu. Did you use your Canon Rebel? I’m about to venture into my garden with mine.
Susan G, yes used my Canon Rebel, and the 50mm/1.8 lens which is so nice for close shots. Have fun with yours!
Wonderful photos. What a gorgeous and varied garden you have!
Very nice photos indeed. You have lovely flowers.
Beautiful Pseu. This is my favorite time of California gardens.
Lovely images of your May garden.
Our garden has awakened after a long rainy patch.
What a great way to take the time to observe the beauty around you. Another good way to take some time to achieve some balance.
Beautiful!!
Pretty! I love this time of year in California. So much color everywhere you look.
Lovely photos.Have you planted your tomatoes yet?
Last week I discovered minature orchids growing wild in the garden. Maybe I will post a photo of them this weekend.
Belle, if things go as planned, I’ll pull out the volunteer tomatoes (sprouted from last years crop) and replant this weekend. I’m still trying to find a variety that will do well in that spot. So far the fruits have been disappointing, not as much flavor as I’d hoped. Would love to see pictures of your wild orchids!
What is the name of the vine? I think I grew that in NJ!
Nina, I’m not entirely sure of the botanical name. The landscape designer just referred to it as “trumpet vine.”
Beautiful photos. We’re in the middle of a big remodel and our backyard is torn up. Nice to see a blooming Southern California garden.
Are the last flowers snap-dragons? That took me back to my childhood. We only have mock orange and roses and dandelions blooming in our yard.
Terri, they’re not snap dragons, but the flowers look a bit similar, don’t they? These are perennial shrubs, can’t remember the name though.
These look s pretty .. with such a wild and natural beauty… I finally feel as if we are leaving winter behind… xv
Nice camera work! It looks like your garden is very happy this Spring. Ours is too.
