Cats
As mentioned in my last gardening post I thought we would move to the back garden this week, it is in full-on jungle mode since we got home :-)
This is our standard Viburnam (about 5' high) that we just planted last June, my parents gave it to Robert for his birthday. For a while there it wasn't looking like it came through the winter so I was delighted when it produced eleven fragrant snowballs!
We call these Johnny-Jump-Ups, I don't know if that is the real name but they are like super tiny pansies. I never planted these they just appeared on their own :-)
Columbine
Between the Columbine, Astilbe and some weeds I have this plant, which I think might be a Rhododendron! It has never flowered in the three years we have lived here but always seemed to have some buds on it so I never yanked it out. This year it had lovely pink blooms.
The ferns, which are my favourite are almost as tall as I am (5'8")!!!
Another Peony ready to burst open
My Bleeding Heart is almost finished but we had loads of blooms this year
Thanks for stopping by kitties, hopefully there will be more new flowers next week :-)
PS - it has been pointed out that my kitties can not be seen in the garden, well I thought I should explain that because they are city kitties, my boys stay indoors so they supervise the garden from the safety of their windows.

I thought I'd join in with the gardening kitties out there. I'm afraid my garden is woefully neglected at the moment. It's been too hot lately to do any serious work outdoors but I did manage to take a few pictures of things...
