We also have a lilac bush on the side of the house; the flowers smell really nice. The bush reminds me of my mom, since she liked lilacs so much. The rose bush that climbs the trellis near our front door has just started to sport yellow blooms, and we've just seen some purple irises open in our back yard. Our purple rhododendron bush is just about to open its flowery buds as well.
Although there are plenty of flowers already in our yard, I still wanted to grow some of my own. A few weeks ago I planted some foxglove, columbine and daisies (among other smaller flowers) in a little circular area underneath our lamppost. This is the first year that I've been able to grow a happy foxglove plant - hooray for mild Northwest weather!
This is the bush that is outside the window of our dining area.

Lovely!!
Buddy! This is the first picture I believe that I have seen of your new house and it is super duper awesome!
I think, I think that maybe you should post more pictures. That is all...
yes, let's see more pics of your house! isn't it lovely - EVERYthing grows in the NW! i'll be honest - i knew the names of maybe a few flowers before i moved here, but now i adore and know about all different kinds. it seems like everyone here works hard on their garden and landscaping. it was different where i grew up! everyone just mowed their lawns and that was it. :)
I love the flowers and yard! Your house looks like a great find.
You are very lucky to have such nice flowering bushes and shrubs. I wish our house had some pretty landscaping.
Ooooh!
Those are beautiful!
Beautiful. What a lovely surprise to find blooms popping up that you didn't have to plant!
