Beautiful Spring

Posted April 18th, 2012 by marcella and filed in garden

After many grey days and some wild rainy weather we finally had a sunny weekend.  We spent some time outside in the sunshine at Filoli enjoying all the spring blossoms.

California poppies are one of my favorites and they were scattered about the gardens.

Most plants have labels, but this flower is a mystery.  Maybe Dr. Seuss blossom?

Some of the trees still had blossoms, like this apple tree.

This pear tree has moved on to setting fruit.  A little baby pear.

The bees were working hard everywhere.  This was the only ladybug I spotted though.

The camellia’s were all in bloom brightening up the shade garden.

Out in the parking lot the sign on this tree said Chestnut.  Is that really what is inside those spiky balls?

There were quite a few wild turkeys running around under the oak trees enjoying the spring weather too.

Hope spring is beautiful where you are.
