HERE IS THE CORRECT LINK FOR BLOOM DAY AUGUST 2016. MR. LINKY WON'T LET ME CORRECT THE LINK ON MAY DREAMS!!
. . .
This is the moment we've all been waiting for: mid-May when our gardens are lush with flowers and foliage. It's a moment that Carol at May Dreams Gardens has taught us to celebrate with her monthly meme: Garden Bloggers Bloom Day. Here's my acknowledgment of this marvelous month and meme.
THE BLUES
New bulbs in the driveway garden: Muscari armeniacum 'Saffir,' which is sterile so the florets don't open and Narcissus 'W.P. Milner'.
Muscari armeniacum 'Saffir' with Iris pumila 'Cherry Garden'
Brunnera
Iris cristata
Ajuga so old I no longer know its name.
THE REDS
Dicentra spectabilis
Sambucus 'Black Lace,' Trillium sessile, Primula bulleyana and more Bleeding Heart
Tulipa clusiana
THE YELLOWS
Paeonia Molly the Witch
Epimedium grandiflorum ssp. koreana 'La Rocaille'
Saruma henryii
Primula elatior, Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola' and Iris pumila 'What Again'

Lovely!
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Lovely May blooms. The combination of Sambucus 'Black Lace,' Trillium sessile is striking.

That's really cool Muscari. I have to see if I can get my hands on that.

Lovely! I really like the combination of plants in the last photo. :)

You have so many beautiful flowers! Tulipa clusiana is my favorite kind! I love how it self seeds all over the place. I bought Molly the Witch last year, but it hasn't flowered yet. I like its pale yellow color...

Beth — I just moved that yellow Iris across the garden last year so I was happy to see what a nice combo that grouping turned out to be.

Ray — I got that Muscari from Van Engelen/John Scheepers via online order.
