Flowers - May 21

Today is the day gardeners are flaunting their flowers over at Tootsies. Here in Winnipeg, we may experience frost until early June, so most tender plants are not planted yet. So, the lovely lime coleus and blue ageratum are still in their flats. Petunias and other hardier annuals are fairly safe to put out now. This weekend (Victoria Day), the first long weekend of the summer, is very busy at garden centers and home improvement stores,
In the garden, our peony-flowered tulips are still blooming, and I am very pleased with these bulbs. They seem to have a longer blooming period than most tulips.
We are building a new fence, so the back yard is a total mess right now. Therefore, I'll just show a photo of the tulips in a bouquet. ( I fiddled with it a bit in Picasa )

 
Now head over to Tootsies' and see what others are doing.

aloha,

you have beautiful spring blooms coming out today, i love coleus also, its so easy making plants from cuttings out of them

thanks for sharing it today
Millie, those are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your spring with us. We're getting into hotter weather, so many of our blooming plants, except petunias, are through their season. I long for cooler climes at this time of year.

XO,

Sheila :-)

Hi, Millie! Thanks for visiting my blog today! Your peony-type tulips are absolutely gorgeous! How lucky you are to be able to grow them in your climate. I must say I could not imagine the risk of frost in May! We're always hoping for frost-free winters here.

Your bouquet is beautiful. I love tulips and yours are gorgeous.
Beautiful! I've really come to appreciate coleus outside in the past few years. Before I only grew it inside.

We are way past our frost date in Atlanta and heading into sweltering and humid already!

Hello Millie,

Your bouquet is just breath-taking. I cannot wait for you to join in next month's MGB. I can only imagine how beautiful your June flowers will be with warmer temperatures on the way :-)
