Spring in Mary’s Garden – FineGardening

Today’s photos are from Mary Spencer.

I thought you might enjoy a few pictures of my Westminster, Maryland, spring flowers.

Named for Meriwether Lewis of Lewis and Clark fame, lewisia (Lewisia cotyledon, Zones 5–8) is native to the mountains of western North America and has gorgeous flowers in the spring.

Gardens are perfect places to sit and remember loved ones lost. Behind the bench, a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum, Zones 5–9) is just leafing out.

Spring is in view! The window boxes are overflowing with blooms, and daffodils (Narcissus hybrids, Zones 4–8) are showing off in the front beds.

New life is showing everywhere, as daffodils bloom and fern fronds begin to unfurl.

A bit of garden art is tucked into the lush greenery of spring.
