It is always a pleasure when Elle Ronis sends in photos of her magical garden in Stamford, Connecticut. We’ve visited her garden before (Flowers Big and Small and Shrubs for High-Impact, Low-Work Gardening), and she grows a wide range of beautiful plants.
Butterfly ranunculus (Ranunculus asiaticus, butterly series) in full bloom. This is a particularly lovely strain of ranunculus developed in Japan. If you garden in Zone 7 or warmer, you can plant ranunuculus in the fall for an incredible spring bloom like this. In colder climates, they can be planted early in the spring, or in a greenhouse or cold frame in the fall.

Beautiful and an inspiration. The flowering shrubs and trees are great.
Lovely flowers!
What a positively luscious spring garden you have, Elle. As I scrolled down through your beautiful photos and paused to take in the delectable colors and ruffled petals of the different offering, I felt like I was enjoying a scrumptious brunch buffet at a fancy hotel....so many irresistible temptations!
It is all so very lovely!
All beautiful, but I especially am drawn to the cement trough, and to the coral magnolia. Thank you so much for sharing your garden of delights.
Purple Primrose- wow! Didn't know that was an option to grow in zones 4-8, I'm gunna consider squeezing some of those into my garden.
You have a beautiful garden in a beautiful setting with woodlands beyond as opposed to houses... and that old stone wall is really amazing too!
Nice choice of Magnolias too, I'd never heard of those until I saw them in your garden.
Oh that redbud!!!
