Today we’re in Carla Zambelli’s garden, looking back at what was blooming for her this spring.
Spring is really beautiful this year! I feel like Mother Nature is rewarding gardeners for all of the extra time we have to spend this year on our gardens because of the coronavirus.
Strawberry flowers, full of the promise of juicy fruit to come.
The spring flower show-stoppers have arrived—like my pink tree peony! This tree peony was a gift from a friend a few years ago. The only thing I know is it is truly from China. But never a weary world traveler, this peony is always the first to open when others in my garden are still just budding.
Ferns wave proudly in the breeze.

Lovely flowers!
So much natural beauty in your garden. The plants look comfortable in the garden as if nature planted them herself!
I see you have Pachysandra with ferns and Bleeding Hearts coming up through it- so do I and I am amazed at how well they can grow together, and a combination that should be done more often...it's usually just used under large shrubs or trees.
I enjoyed your garden photos, so pretty!
That tree peony is incredibly beautiful! Thanks for sharing your lovely garden.
The red rhododendrons are beautiful. I will seek them out too. What a lovely reminder of your mom. Thanks for sharing.
Carla, I had to look twice at the photo with the Gold Heart bleeding heart - the pachysandra initially looked to me like a still pool of water reflecting leaves above it. I agree that I like that plant combination! And your red rhodie is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing - hope you will send more pictures as we get into summer. I enjoy the way you combine plants.
