It's high time for some spring color on these pages.  The following photos are courtesy of the Devine Front Yard.  Enjoy.

(Geographical location: Northwest Indiana) 

Creeping Phlox, if I'm not mistaken.  Below are azaleas, blooming from a branch off to the left . . .

 Ants were really enjoying the peonies a few weeks ago; they are now blooming (the flowers, not the ants).

A picture-perfect species of columbine.

 Another columbine species.

 The advent of a lupine species (one of which I photographed in front of Mount St. Helens).

 The same plant 10 days later. . .

. . . And three more days later (13 days from the first photo).

A bearded iris.  Below are Japanese irises.
