It’s been raining non-stop for a few days now. And last night we even had a storm. Today, when it stopped raining for a short while, I went out to my garden to see what was going on there.
It looks like the rain has a good effect on my plants. My little herb garden is thriving. But it is the blooms that interested me the most.
I found this little blue volunteer. I have no idea what its name is or where it came from. But I must say I love its tiny bells; they are so delicate and lovely.
Here is another plant, whose name I don’t know. It is a small shrub and it has been in the garden since we moved to this place a few years ago. It blooms almost year around.
My Chinese Fringe Flower bush is blossoming to the full extent. I learnt its name only today from Masha’s blog (thank you Masha).
My neighbors’ plum tree is in bloom as well, showering my calla lily plant with tiny white petals. But I don’t mind it at all; it looks so pretty!
The link parties I’m joining this week are:
Show off Your Cottage Monday @ The House in the Roses,
Tuesday Garden Party @ An Oregon Cottage,
Outdoor Wednesday @ A Southern Daydreamer,
Cottage Flora Thursday @ Fish Tail Cottage,
Fertilizer Friday @ Tootsie Time,
Saturday Show Off @ Maleviks Rosenträdgård.

Very pretty blooms. Iyt hasnt rained today still waiting for the rain so I can collect some rain water for our garden. Thank's for sharing your pic's.........Julian
Such beautiful flowers. The rain does wonderful things for the garden. The little blue flower is called a grape hyacinth (I think).
Very pretty.Yes those are grape hyacinths.We don't need any more rain for a few days-need to dry out.
That chinese fringe flower is so exotic! I love the blossoms falling on on your lily too! You have so much bloom ahead for you where you live. It's all so nice to see.
Your garden s filled with lovely flowers Olga. Happy Spring!
Your garden sure looks beautiful, storm or not, something I cannot say about mine, unfortunately...
Hi Olga,
Lots of beautiful blooms down there in the sun!!
The fringe tree is gorgeous!!
Your blue flowers are a bluebell hyacinth, they grow like crazy here, the birds and squirels scatter them :-) I love volunteer plants, little fun surprises:-)
Happy spring to you:-)
Hugs,
Bella
Your flowers are so pretty and a rainstorm usually makes them so much prettier. I am like you I adore flowers, but do not know the name for most of them. There is always a surprise flower in my garden each year it seems.
This is beautiful. I think the first remind me of Muscari - not quite sure. Love the showered petals! Your garden looks like it enjoyed the rain!
Hope you have a great day,
Kathy
I love the start of Spring and it's fresh new blooms. Your garden is looking lovely!Happy Spring Days. Yvette x

Storm or not your garden looks beautiful....the flowers look like they really enjoyed the showers of rain. My garden is still frozen looking, but soon I hope next month it will get better. Thanks for sharing your lovely garden pictures. Iryna
Yes, those are grape hyacinths. Ours aren't up yet here in the Philly area. We have lots of daffodils beginning to bloom. I love seeing your blooms, and I can't wait to see ours.
I am wondering what season is just now in California, Spring? Should be, I can see it at the blue hyacinth. We have here a lot in our gardens in springtime. Here where I live are just blooming snowdrops. For me the flowers are also the most important part in the garden. I don't even have vegetable only some different bushes of fruits. Have a nice start into the blooming seasons.
What beautiful photos. So many beautiful colors.
Beautiful flowers, your garden must look gorgeous!
I really enjoyed the cyber tour of your garden. It is so colorful.

Very pretty flowers!
I love the blue flowers
...their italian name is "muscari"....
Ciao Iaia
Great photos...you have some very pretty flowers...I plants things and quickly forget names of them...looks like Spring has come to your yard!
The rain did it's job because these blooms are stellar.
Those are beautiful. I have no idea what those first two are either. But I do have some chinese fringe. Mine are beginning to fade now. Wish they'd last a big longer.
Dear Olga,
Very pretty. Is it not a wonder that we all love being in our gardens, or even just in the presence of a flower or two..
Sincerely,
Shirley
Hi Olga! Your blooms and photos are so pretty and colorful. You must really enjoying the onset of Spring!

I love all the colors in your garden, but I think my favorite photo is of the calla lily being showered with petals.
