Just beautiful. My azaleas and dogwoods are blooming nicely too! And the blueberries! I love me some Spring! It's still too chilly here but I can see it's coming :)

I have crocuses and snowdrops... a couple of primrose blossoms... and GREAT EXPECTATIONS for what comes next!

Wildernessties 04-04-2013 07:01 PM

Those flowers sure look nice. I still have a good 8 inches of snow at least on my flower bed!

Great pics,and flowers. We're in transit to San Diego,could use a little warm weather!

Your flowers are beautiful. I especially love the lilacs, that is my very favorite flower. I am planning to head up to a town in the mountains this month where they grow and buy some. Love the smell.

oh i cant wait we still have hugh snow banks all over the yard.

Beautiful photos! Unfortunately, here in NH, our Lilacs are not out until May. But, green shoots of Irises are peeking out of the soil. My blueberry bushes seemed to have made it through the winter without much damage. And the snowpile at the end of the driveway disappeared over the weekend! The mockingbird and cardinals are singing their hearts out!

:) lovely flowers -- we too have spring with the azaleas having bloomed and the lilies too -- yes, there is hope for the rest of you!!

Beautiful flowers for you to enjoy. I have daffodils blooming and can see the forsynthia blooms starting to open a little bit. I love spring, hot and humid summer, not so much.

When we lived in Virginia, we had snow drops whose blooms would poke through the snow in January, just to remind us that spring really was on the way. Now, in central Florida, they azaleas start blooming in January as well flame vine , which is spectacular. Most people think that we only have one season here, but all you have to do is pay attention to the nature around you.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful flowers. Here is a photo of my front yard, which is mostly "wild" now.
Blessings, Roberta

How beautiful your flowers are. ? about the fifth picture. Is this a flowering Almond? It looks similar to my FA but I thought they only had pink blooms.
peace

We are having a cool start to spring which is good. right now all I have are windflowers and crocus blooming.

This little patch of crocus is very special, right next to my back steps and they remind me each spring of a good friend who loved gardening. On our last 'girls day' when all her posse got together I passed a small bag of these to all the girls, I think seven of us. I made them promise to plant them somewhere at their home so that every spring when they bloom, we will remember our dear friend.
peace

We are even 15 to 20 degrees under our normal temps.. then we will have snow again in 5 days... ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

busy fingers 04-05-2013 10:33 PM

I love Spring. Downunder we are heading into autumn (fall you refer to it as) which then means that winter is the next season - not my favourite but then again in Sydney we do not have winters anything as severe as some of you have.

Lovely photos.

carolaug 04-05-2013 10:39 PM

All I see in my yard is snow.

CindyA 04-06-2013 03:32 AM

So pretty, thanks everyone for sharing! My daffodil and forsythia are blooming, despite still having cold temps at night. Hang in there all of you who still have snow on the ground.

MadP 04-06-2013 05:34 AM

I am patiently waiting.

helenhiwater 04-06-2013 05:37 AM

I have some blue bulbs I'd forgotten I'd planted (ixia maybe?). The tulips and daffodils are almost there, but the lilacs haven't even tried yet. Beautiful photo!

huntannette 04-06-2013 06:24 AM

OMG we still have 6 feet of snow....i`m jealous.....lol

chris_quilts 04-06-2013 05:43 PM

Beautiful. Thank you so much. Love the lilacs.

WMD926 04-07-2013 06:19 AM

Oh I can't wait for the flowers to come out. Some of the water is starting to thaw in Minnesota but it is still cold. I miss last year when it was in the 70's and 80's this time of year! I know, it will come - in its own time.

chris_quilts 04-08-2013 08:57 AM

My dandelions are blooming. Darn weeds. Dug them yesterday out of one flowerbed ~ only 2 left to go (maybe).
