On the last day of April 2013 (or thereabouts)...

Here is what was (still) blooming in my yard on the last day of April this year. (Click on any of the photos to see them bigger).

A slope of purple ajuga, with white and pink azaleas behind.

Bleeding hearts, may apples and periwinkle, growing in the shade.

Small white azalea bushes growing in almost total shade near my mailbox.

Even the rhubarb plant on my deck burst into bloom.
