Blooming this week…

Today it’s raining, but yesterday I took some pictures of a few of the flowers blooming around here right now.

Our trumpet vine is slow to break dormacy, but once it starts blooming it keeps it up for a long time.

We have a volunteer Mimosa tree in bloom also.  We didn’t plant it, so I guess the seed just floated in from another tree.  Or got deposited in bird droppings.  At any rate, I guess a volunteer tree is a good thing in the Volunteer State of Tennessee.

There’s another picture of the same tree over on Anna Creates, which has a more dramatic looking black background.  (It’s also usable for making note cards if you’re so inclined.)

The butterfly bushes are also starting to bloom now, and like the trumpet vine, they will continue to bloom for a long time.

We have some different colored butterfly bushes, like red, and bi-colored, but this just happens to be the one I was looking at yesterday.

The daylilies have been blooming for some time now.

And to add a different color, the hydrangea has blue blooms…

And though these aren’t blooms, it’s fun to see the little figs starting to grow on the Brown Turkey Fig tree.

There are all sorts of things growing now around the farm!
