Who opens all those flowers?

Mayapple bud

Garden fairies here!

We are garden fairies and we know the answer to the question “who opens all those flowers?”

We do. Yes we garden fairies are responsible for opening every single flower in the garden.

And we are near exhaustion at this point because this is spring, our busy season.

And it seems we are busier every year as someone keeps planting new flowers.  We barely get one flower open before it is time for the next flower to open.

Sometimes, we just want to relax, for just a minute, and admire the flowers as we open them.

Some kind of trillium

But there is no time for rest. It’s spring. The busy season.

Did you read that?

The busy season.

Phlox subulata

It’s a wonder we garden fairies have any time and energy for writing on this blog.

But we wanted everyone to know we are still here, we are just busy with the spring season.

Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need to open that mayapple bud in the first picture,  stop the viola painting fairies from making good on their threat to paint the trilliums and then admire the phlox.

Because if we don’t admire the nice striping on that phlox, some garden fairy is likely to get all huffy.

No one wants that.

We are garden fairies.
