Memories of Spring

The flowers of springs past

Beth Tucker sharedher previous gardenin Franklin Lakes , New Jersey , with us before . In that berth , sheshowed us how it look in winter , but today we ’re call in this beautiful little garden in spring .

In a small , wooded part of the garden , the aboriginal great clean trillium ( Trillium grandiflorum , Zones 3–8 ) blooms . The immature stripes in the petal on the heyday on the rightfield are due to an contagion that wood lily are prostrate to . It can be pretty , but if you have a lot of wood lily in your garden , you might want to remove any plant showing transmission before it scatter to others .

Bleeding heart ( Dicentra spectabilis , Zones 3–9 ) bloom in the woodland garden .

Another common native flora of the eastern North American timberland , Jack - in - the - rostrum ( Arisaema triphyllum , Zones 4–9 ) is a beautiful plant that deserves a shoes in more gardens . The unusual flowers will be followed by large masses of bright red berries later in the year .

azalea and lilacs line one side of a pathway behind the garage leading to the back garden area .

Spooky is a semi - feral cat that Beth and her neighbor had castrate and then took care of together . Spooky took a expectant liking to Beth and would walk with her picayune dog every day .

The David Austen roses along the front paseo were making a good comeback come Super Storm Sandy , which destroyed the previous arbor . After the harm from the storm , Beth had to rationalize the blush wine back to under a foot , but they came through like champs . The lavenders along the path were ladened with bloom and fat bumblebees during give and early summertime .
