I love it when spring gets here. Our yard smells so good. Only bad thing is the bees. They are EVERYWHERE and by the middle of summer, you can hardly even go outside during the day because of them. Anyway, the trees and flowers are blooming and I thought I would show you a few in my yard.
This tree is covered in wisteria. Within a week, the whole tree will be purple. So pretty and smells so good. When they start to drop, this whole half of the yard is covered in purple petals. It looks really cool.
Check out the vines. The kids love climbing them and hanging from them. Also, that's my closest neighbors house in the back ground. Way to close if you ask me.
I don't know the technical name of this thing but we call it a tulip tree. The flowers on this don't last long. I don't know why.
And here is the dogwood. It's actually a yellow dogwood but for some reason they look white in the pictures. And, these flowers will drop on Easter. Happens every year.
This one had the red (blood) stains but they didn't show up real good in the picture.
It's funny, my mom loves dogwoods and wisteria but can't get them to grow on her property. I don't do anything and mine grow like crazy.

How exciting!! I love it when thing bloom in the Spring!
I would love to have some flowering trees in my yard. Instead I have huge maple trees that drop those helicopter seeds everywhere!
Man I'd kill for something besides desert plants in my yard. Let me tell ya the mesquite, palo verde, and cactus arent so pretty to look at. Of course the flowers on all the trees would probably make my allergies go haywire but Id love seeing it out my window lol
I love seeing all the stuff blooming! It's gorgeous around these parts right now...and in your yard too.
Those are beautiful!
And that's your closest neighbor?! We're right on top of each other around here.
(P.S. I'm doing another guest post linky if Benny has time...)
