Garden Blogger's Bloom Day April 2014

By Alternativeeden @markngaz

I was looking through the photos I took of the garden last weekend when I realised I took enough photos of what's currently in bloom in the garden to participate in this month's Garden Blogger's Bloom Day.

Here are just a few of what's currently in bloom in our garden, in this beautiful spring month of April...

Podophyllum hexandrum has flowered for us for the first time this year and I was pleasantly surprised how delicate the blooms are. The blooms close during the night

We grow Staphylea holocarpa 'Rosea' for its foliage and form but the flowers in the spring are a bonus.

The Chocolate Vine, Akebia quinata is in full force flowering in our garden at the moment.

It took awhile but we love the way it is now starting to wrap up on the big tree at the bottom of our garden, as well as the fences behind it.

Magnolia stellata - a common garden plant here but it is popular for a very good reason...

How could one not love this plant when it produces such a display in the spring?

Another plant we grow for the foliage but the dainty blooms in the spring look rather sweet - Mukdenia rossii

We join Bloom Day for the first time and is hosted by May Dreams Gardens where all the links to blooming posts are to be found.
