Unfurling…

“Unfurling”…..is that even a word? Unfurling to me is the awakening of the garden. Look at all I am anticipating this week…makes me giddy to think this time next week – so much should be in bloom and bring color to the garden…Azalea, hosta, allium, fern, iris, columbine, coral bells, peony, hydrangea and red twig dogwoods…..ahhh, loving the awakening of a garden!

Beautiful Tracie. So much to look forward to there. Foliage is lovely.
Donna said…
Oh Tracie..how beautiful! You just are an amazing photographer. BTW, I was going to mention on today's post about your adorable coop and link up to it. It's just that it was big post and I'm so tired with my cold. So I'm going to find your link and add it after a short nap.

I was thinking I might link it to tonight's garden post...since I have so many outdoor photos..especially my little 'garden chickens'. They light up at night which is so funny!

Your garden is just enchanting, Tracie. :o)

Tracie, I hope you don't mind but I borrowed a photo of your coop--so darling!! And told everyone about it..with a link. I added a paragraph near the beginning of the post about people who live in town making coops. :o)

I really do love yours!

I do love seeing things unfurl (yes, i'm sure that's a real word!) Sometimes the buds are prettier than the flowers. Well, almost. And sometimes they do taste better (nasturtiums)
Hi Tracie
Unfurl is a good word and one I've used many times to describe plants as they slowly open to the warmth of spring. I was thinking of this very word today when I looked at a hosta that is ready to unfold its leaves.
We have tulips open now with much more to come too.

Tracie, this is beautiful. I love when plants begin to open up, something that is not visibile in the garden but only up close.

Since I've been hanging out amongst blogs I pay so much more attention to the stages my plants go through. It really is a miracle process.
Nancy said…
Everything looks so healthy and all have such pretty color even before blooming. Love this! :)

Unfurling is such a wonderful word to describe that first bloom of a garden. Can't wait for pictures next week.
I too love that word! Those are great shots of the magic of spring.
Gorgeous Photos...Oh the anticipation, I love it.

Unfurl... what a wonderful word! I too cannot wait for everything to unfurl or "pop"! One of my peonies is just about there!

Thanks again for hosting your link party for all of us!

Hi, I'm joining Cottage Flora Thursday for the first time. Beautiful garden, I really enjoy visiting here.

I am following your blog and love gardening so I am going to love posting to your Thursday party. I just joined with my Garden Cupola. However, I don't see where to get the code for your party button.

woops posted my comment on your other post! I love the unfurling look too. Are you on Pacific or Central time? I couldnt stay up to link up last night. Hit the bed at 10:00 p.m. We are looking at our 5th day of rain here. Perfect world would be a light rain during the night and sweet sunshine all day..

You're so right that is one of my favorite times in the garden. We're past that here...Spring has sprung. I am looking on to summer now, time goes by way too fast.

Such a wonderful time of year when the plants begin to unfurl. So full of promise and hope. Lovely pictures.
Unfurling is a great word to describe the opening of flowers! Your photographs are stunning, as always. Thanks for inviting me to link up our stone walkway project! I plan to photograph our vegetable garden tomorrow.

What a wonderful word for what's happening every day - although the whole process would speed up just a little if we had some sunshine!
