What's Blooming in Your Northern Garden? May 2

OK, so some of the blooms are covered with snow, but spring really is on the way and what better way to encourage it than to focus on the plants we love.

This is the first of a weekly series of photos of what’s blooming in our northern gardens. Send us a picture of your garden blooms at northerngardenerphotos@gmail.com and we will upload the best of them each week.
