Sprouts of spring in my yard
 

Bits of spring from my yard today

What a lovely touch os Spring! Your plants are so pretty....We are just getting started in WI, trees are budding tulips are blooming etc. Very early for here. My favorrite season with everything turning green.

Dh had to mow our yard for the first time today. Very odd weather for central Illinois. Our jonquils have come and gone but the tulips are just about to bloom. This normally happens in mid April.

Isn't that a Christmas Cactus in the first pic? Whatever, It is pretty. I love the new flowers blooming. Barny

We call the first picture a Christmas Cactus. Here in Indiana most of my spring flowers are blooming except the tulips. I potted pansies today and some of my summer pots but may need to bring them inside if the weather turns really cold. We have had several days in the 80's, really unusual.

Just have to know how you got your Christmas Cactus to bloom in the spring? I can't mine to bloom at all!! My mama potted it years ago and I haven't disturbed it. It puts on new shoots but no blooms!!

It is not a Christmas Cactus but a Sunrise Cactus, it is very similar but there are some slight differences. The blooms open in the morning then close up early afternoon and then reopen the next morning.

Love those cactii!! You can actually get them to bloom most anytime - I have a Christmas and an Easter and a random! Just give them a dry cool spot for a month or more, then bring them into the light and warmth, water them.

I love spring

We have Spring here also. Daffodils, magnolias, etc. are done blooming.

Very pretty !!! What are the pink ones in the last picture??
I love flowers... I planted bulbs last fall that are coming up nicely now. And I am super happy I have buds on my tiny little lilac bushes. I have waited 30 yrs to have lilac again. :-) But if I see one more pansy......... it seems that is all anyone has around here winter and spring. I want different stuff. I planted some lily of the valley and iris and something else with fuzzy pink flowers, And I am looking at ordering some things from a catalog that arent normally seen in this neighborhood. I have a good bit of shade and some afternoon sun where I can plant so its a hunt to find what will grow.

It has been in the 80's here in Northern Michigan my daffodils are in blossom usually we still have snow and snow storms this time of year. Strange weather for sure!!

What some beautiful flowers. Let's hope mother nature isn't playing with us.

The Orchard fruit trees are a blooming like crazy here ! it s so pretty

We have had both Christmas and Easter cactus. They are so pretty. We have populated the neighborhood with them!

love the iris

Yes, my Christmas cactus is booming for the 3rd time since last Oct and it is an inside plant. Love the beautiful white Iris. White is such a pure color. I had one that was called Fire and Ice. Pure white with orange beard. Here in Idaho nothing in bloom but the daffodils and tulips are coming up. We are 4500ft above sea level.

It's the same in PA. NEVER before have we had "spring" flowers so early! All the trees are in bloom too. Very strange for PA.

How wonderful...I'm green with envy...I had six inches of new lovely white stuff grace our property this morning...would you like some?
