However, this video is much more than beautiful photographs! Peggy Anderson has compiled beautiful quotations from the likes of Emerson, Thoreau, and many others that truly capture the beauty of nature and solitude. Absolute must watch for nature lovers.

Garden Bloggers Bloom Day

All these garden bloggers bloom day meme exists but I could not find one today to participate. Then, I came across Jason's post in http://gardeninacity.wordpress.com">GardenInACity
. So, I also thought of posting what's blooming and happening in our garden. I am also feeling lazy to blog; I guess I am getting tired getting the garden (both front and back) ready. So, here they are:
The sea of golden daffodils:

What is a yard without some weeds :-)? My favorite Dandellion and two other unknowns:
 

Primrose and Hyacinth. Are primrose and primula same thing?  They were called African primroses! The name suggested to me that they were annuals and were going to die. But, they not only survived but they survive buried deep under the snow and one of the first flowers to bloom. I simply love them because they look so insignificant, especially beside the majestic lavender bush, but their burgundy blooms are simply beautiful to my eyes:


I forgot what these are called. Apparently they are native of North-East!

A collection of perennials. I forgot what the middle two - the reddish pink and white ones -- are called. The other names that I remember are viola, mix-viola and English Daisies and Foresythia: 

Do Foresythia needs pruning? Everywhere all the Foresythias are in full bloom; mine are blooming little. Other than the above, dill, oregano, lemon balm, strawberries, onions and garlic, all have started growing vigorously. Spice-bush, Blueberries, Blackberries, Dogwood, Pear(fruit-bearing)-tree, beach-plum, roses and Persian Lilac all have put on growth with new leaves and buds appearing all along their branches. Soon, they will also come in bloom. Ah! life is nice. What more can anyone want?
