Spring Flowers

The azaleas are starting to bloom.     I thought I may have lost most  them because of the late snow and bursts of cold this spring.   The forsythia is starting to leaf out, soon the flowers will be gone.

My hen and chickens need some dirt and  probably a new pot.   They are not as red this season

 white ones ready to burst open
I do not know what these are called,  but they are pretty and bloom a long time

I purchased this chocolate mint the other day to plant.   Very strong mint and chocolate taste.

I am sharing with   Rurality Blog Hop,   Friday's Fences and masterpiece monday at boogie board cottage

well off to planting
