What's Blooming Now in Nyack



Helleborus

Here it is May, and other than the daffodils, we didn't have much bursting forth here until the past couple of weeks.  It was slow to warm up and, being high on a hill, my house seems to have a microclimate that delays blooms even further. I snapped this photo of a new hellebore bloom last week. Here you can see it in the background behind some grape hyacinth.



Muscari armeniacum

A few narcissi are still in bloom, believe it or not. 



Lilies-of-the-valley are so happy in the shady spot under one of our big trees.  They're spreading at a very comfortable speed.  Jocelyn, at The Home Tome, is also growing them.  (A new Nyack blog to follow!) 

Convallaria magalis 



Also in the little white flower category are these forget-me-nots.

Myosotis sylvatica

Speedwell (Veronica)

Euphorbia  (Thanks to Tina from In the Garden, I finally got this identified!)

Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata)

Tulipa humilus (Persian Pearl)

Tulipa

"Black" Tulips- actually, they're very dark burgundy- even the pollen!

Columbine (Aquilegia)

Allium "Purple Sensation"

Who can forget the tree?  The Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata)  was finally cut back.  I didn't even have to rake up the petals this year!
