Spring in my garden

I traveled to New York, I traveled to Chicago, and then I came home to enjoy my own garden. While I was away things were enjoying the spring rains and growing like crazy. The roses began to bloom, the geraniums held up in spite of the rain, and peonies were just finishing as I returned home. While one climbing rose had given its first blush of roses and was now regrouping, another was just beginning to show its most beautiful blooms. Here's a collection of spring flowers that I somehow just could not stop enjoying.
