Fishtail Cottage Garden in May
So many beautiful flowers appeared in May! First one to share with you is just a few of my lilac's.... these are some of my most favorite cut flowers to bring inside.
As you can see the landscape came alive in the front yard area where I have a darling little feeder and bath for the birds. The Hanaki peony trees, Adirondack Crabapple Trees and the Northern Highlight Azaleas are amazing when they all come into bloom as other early spring blooms start to fade out.
I originally only had this one Northern Highlight Azalea in my back yard landscape, however the fragrance was just so amazing I added several more to my gardens in both the front and back yard. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing this shrub is.
So many perennials returned with their beauty like the Cornflower, Columbine and Bearded Iris.
And just one more cottage flower favorite that appeared in May is the Foxglove ~ a wildflower that I've allowed to self seed and take over wherever it desires! Definitely another favorite of mine that I had to share.

Some other favorite shrubs in my landscape that came into bloom during May was several varieties of Rhododendron's, Mexican Orange and Snowball Shrub. All of which make excellent cut flowers as well.

Have a lovely day /Marika
Will look for Northern Highlight azalea. But I have to pull foxglove in my yard and field, as it will spread to the neighbors' property, and they have a horse, who could die of cardiac arrest from eating foxglove greenery/seed. One of the problems of living in the country. And of having a few foxglove in the garden years ago.
Happy Summer.
