A few parts of the garden are undergoing a renovation process at the moment. Things have been dug up, relocated, trimmed, pruned, and generally disrupted. Hopefully it all means that next year the garden will be flourishing!
Fortunately there are still flowers to be found.

I've skipped a few because this post is too long already. But I had to include this one:
 |
| Jonquils! |
The first spring flowers, long before autumn is finished. In the background, the leaves of my redbud are turning yellow, but haven't started falling yet. I've had jonquils open in
May before, when living in the city, but here they usually start in June or July.

All so beautiful--I can't pick a favorite one;)))
That Ajuga looks like our "lamb's Ears" ; ours blossom white...
Looks like we're in for another cold snap--happy I didn't put any tender herbs out yet...I usually wait until May 31st here by the sea...as until the ocean warms up a bit the winds really stay chilly...

Beautiful flowers. But I don't know many of them at all. You have a garden for pleasure.

All so pretty. The Windflowers look stunning. Must move mine so they get more sun. A garden is never "done".
Indeed....a lovely array of flowers still.
OMG Your garden is full os beautiful flowers, Vireya. Looks like a paradise.
Beautiful April blooms, wonderful colours.
You have the prettiest garden ever! I’m always interested in seeing your flowers.
The garden renovations sounds exciting! Your flowers are stunning. I am nurturing my red hot pokers, I had one bloom, so fingers crossed for stunning display next season. Your post reminds me how much I love windflowers and Cosmos and must plant some!
