Last of the spring blossoms

I took the photos in my back yard on April 27 and May 3. Thunderstorms during the past few days have left but a few ragged flowers on the lilac, azalea and tulips featured below. My perennial summer flowers--day lily, climbing clematis, iris, yucca--should be blooming next month.



I planted the bulbs last fall






The neighbor's lovely azalea grows through my chain-link fence






The lilac bloomed beautifully this year
