I was away for three days. I came home to a different garden.

The change is a tribute to the power of sunshine and rain.

The azaleas started blooming.

My garden was busy while I was away.

Don’t blink or you will miss something.  It’s spring in the south.

Fragrant Viburnum

This lovely Viburnum X juddii it too far from the house to get babied, so it is not much to look at.

But I make myself walk all the way down the hill when I see the blooms, because the aroma is fabulous.

One sniff is never enough. I stand around the shrub sniffing multiple blooms.

The buds are bright pink and open as blushing pink.

I am always glad to see and smell the blooms.
