Love all the crocus pics, specially the ones with Shadow in the lawn. Mine very often get decapitated by squirrels.
Wow those tulips look like you could take a whiff, what detail.
Iris, daffs and violets are certainly waaaaay better than looking at snow.
Lilacs just mean garden season is here for me. I always think of the Memorial Day parade when I see them. When I was a kid in my little town, all the children would march at the end of the parade with flowers from the garden,usually lilacs, and directed by a member of VFW place them on vets graves that had no flowers. Sadly they no longer have that tradition there. Kids always knew what Memorial Day was really about, not just a parade and day off school.
Here is a pic from end of April. Things just getting started. The moving wind thingy to help keep Bambi away from the tulips and hosta that are emerging. Works pretty well along with smelly garlic peanut butter like stuff on bamboo stakes.
