April in my Garden

My garden in April is filled with flowers, such as Dutch Iris (Iris x hollandica).

This Shirley Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) has just opened and its petals are crumpled from being folded up in the bud.

They are growing from the seeds I scattered last fall.

The flowers are popular with the bees.

Alstroemeria are growing in a partly shady spot.

They are sometimes called Peruvian Lilies and were originally from South America.

Alliums are blooming where the Spring Starflowers were last month.

And the weedy but pretty, Oxalis debilis.
