Pennsylvania Wildflowers – April
A cool spring in the Lehigh Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania created optimum growing conditions for our native wildflowers
During the month of April many wildflowers graced the gardens at Valley View
New additions as well as established plants brought beauty to the gardens
As April blossoms fade, May blooming perennials open their petals to the sun
Stop back to see what blooms next!
When Life Changes
Adapt – Adjust – Change back – Move on
Sometimes life gets in the way
What was once a constant occurs occasionally
Even though the miraculous continues to unfold around us
Thank you for returning or just stopping by!
A Day in the Life
Sunday April 21, 2013
The sun was shining, the temperature a bit cool
Self-seeded celandine poppies by the stream
Flowers opened their petals
And garden companions basked in the radiating heat
