END OF THE MONTH VIEW - may

Finally there are plants growing and flowers blooming for this end-of-the-month view after the coldest winter in living memory here in zone 3 Winnipeg.  As you look at these shots it is hard to imagine that there was still snow on the ground a month ago.

 Thankfully some of the Tulips were later-blooming so the deer did not get all of them, perhaps just over half.

I find Euphorbia interesting because I can't tell if the plants themselves 'bloom' or if the leaves just turn a delightful hue.  One had a rough winter but four of them are clearly back in fighting form.

 A single Marsh Marigold that was given to me blends in nicely with Leopard's Bane in terms of bloom colour, bloom time and even foliage.


 The Orange Hyacinths are decidedly pink. There was some salmon hues but not close enough to sell these as orange in my book.
