These photos are from a couple weeks ago. I have been really busy lately and needed to take a break from blogging. Hopefully I will be back in the swing soon. For now, enjoy these photos of April in North Carolina, all of which were taken at the Sarah P. Duke Gardens.
Wisteria. This stuff is gorgeous when in bloom and smells divine, but the vines are so strong they will pull down all but the sturdiest structures!
This tulip was begging to be photographed. Isn't it beautiful?
Lilacs! OK, I grew up with lilacs in Western NY, but they need the cold winters to set there blooms. Lately I have heard rumors of a new variety that can bloom in our warmer climate...could it be true? Oh I hope so. This bush was gorgeous and it has been YEARS since I've had the opportunity to enjoy lilacs.
There was this little patch of purple Anemones hiding under a tree. They were so sweet and impossibly purple. No matter what I tried, they photographed blue, but the looked like they'd been doused in grape KoolAde. Something else for my garden!
And fianlly, bamboo, better in that garden than mine! Some of the stalks had been cut down and were sending out squiggly new green shoots. Very cool.
I hope you are enjoying the season, wherever you live, and whatever it may be!

I just LOVE lilacs & their sweet smell. My grandma had one that was as big as a car (I didn't know that they could get that big!!)
thanks for the eye candy, michelle.
