Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow. . .

Last spring we planted some birds of paradise in our front yard. I have been anxiously awaiting the day that they FINALLY decide to bloom. After a lot of patience, I noticed a single blossom yesterday!

Birds of paradise have always been a favorite of mine, as they are often seen on the coast or in warmer, more tropical climates. Honestly, I thought it would take a few years before they produced any flowers, so I was stoked to say the least!

What's in your garden that is currently in bloom?
