Many Hummingbirds are enjoying the canna nectar
\What a joy to see these birds flittng about.
The cannas have taken over in some of the gardens
will have to be a little more picky with location next spring.
Flowering as well , Rose of sharon;
Black Knight butterfly bush;
Southern Hibiscus;
2 new purchases ; so excited about , I have been wanting a fringe tree;
These trees(Chionanthus virginicus), are supposed to be one of the finest spring bloomers . It is a small tree 15 to 20 feet in height and spread; a North American native, and as beautiful as it is, it remains uncommon in gardens. Fringe tree, is also called Old-man's beard. It blooms just after the dogwoods .
The snow white fringe tree flowers are produced in loose, terminal 6-inch long panicles that have the ethereal look of puffy white clouds.
Will it flower for me next spring?
I am also trying an azalea;Rhododendron mucronulatum is called the Snow Azalea because it frequently blooms at winter's end while snow is still upon the ground;hardy from zones 5B - 9A with a of height 5-8 feet.
It is native to Siberia, Mongolia, China, Korea & Japan, with showy light purple to rosy pink flowers in early to mid spring; leaves are deciduous (shed in autumn), but they turn yellow and bronze before falling.
Right now this azalea even has some buds on it!
Will this azalea flower now , I wonder?
Trying new plants is always a challenge......

I love the tree! Everything you have is so lovely and blooming their little hearts out! What a beautiful garden.
This hummingbird in the canna, that is such a pretty view! Thanks for this ray of joy.
Rosemary, Everything looks very healthy and happy at your place! You have a great green thumb. The hummingbirds seem to have pretty much vacated my yard for the moment. I'm glad you're seeing them. :-)
What a variety of plants you have! I love sedums too - we have those here. The canna looks very striking!
There is four beautiful fringe trees near the St Larence Market in Toronto. Every year when they flower, I have to go admire them. Gorgeous. Lucky you to plant one, I am sure it will be beautiful.
What a great garden, you must be pleased with your effotrs!
Great photos, the hummers sure are busy right now getting ready to head south.
Your garden is looking great! I love the cannas and the tree rose of sharon, we just bought our first.
