Great pansy color! Watch for the Varigated Fritilary caterpillars, that is how I discovered they were their host plant! They are a pretty butterfly but I don't see many of them here.
Love the cauliflower, and your daffs I remember; were up and blooming so soon last year.

I finally found something blooming in the garden so I could experiment with my new camera and tripod!

Here are some shots of a vernal witch hazel. I thought it was supposed to be a spring bloomer, but it seems to have started early.

My Hyacinths are blooming. I bought about 70 of these at my local Walmart last year for 1 cent each! They had flowered and were dying back so Walmart was ready to throw them away.

Sheila_FW unbelievable !!
When do those Irises normally bloom in your garden?

One more flower blooming:
my rose CASSIE
By the way this rose is resistant to teh Rose Rosette disease that 50% of my roses got infected by.
Plus is an amazing rose. Always in bloom.

Sorry for the picture ... it was very windy here today ...
