spring bulbs pictures

Here's my 'Quail' Daffodils

This is Hyacinth 'Queen of the Pinks'

Muscari from the coop last August

Peony Tulip 'Creme Upstar' also from the coop last year. These are dainty l'il gals...only about 6-8 inches tall.

Last one for me...until my shaded tulips open up. Should be this week (I hope!).

This one is Hyacinth 'Sky Jacket'

Gosh I don't know about the tulips. I'd have to try to jog Bleek's memory. I didn't plan on keeping them so I didn't save the bags they came in.

The variety of Tulip from ecobioangie is "Lucky Strike".

I have to say that she did a fantastic job with those pots of Tulips. What do you think about the yellow "Monte Carlo", I think it is great.

She needs to tell me how she did this.....in Georgia......in pots. Next time I see her I do need to check if her thumbs are green. I bet you they are.

LOL Thanks for dropping by to give langbr her identification on that tulip. I remember now! They are done now and are getting cut back leaves and all to let the snaps grow big. I had no intentions of saving the bulbs for next year.
They all turned out great Bleek. Those Negritas in that pot with the daffs and crocus are all yours too. Beautiful bulbs. Thank you. :) All I did was pot them up in Miracle Grow dirt and make sure they didn't totally dry out. They sat outside all 'winter'. I say that because it hardly froze here this year. I'll definitely buy from www.eflowergardens.com again! ;)

Our spring is almost finished here on the Northcoast of CA, but it was glorious in late Feb, and all through March! Here is a shot of a mixed bunch of Daffodils that were blooming Mid-March. I still have almost 70 that were planted two months too late, so I hope they come up this year.

Here are some of the Crocus that I planted along the railings on my deck.

Beautiful, ladyrowan!! Any idea the name of the white daff with the ruffled cup? Gorgeous!!

Are you talking about the white daff with the pale yellow cup? That one started out looking like the flower below, and the cup fades to the one already posted. This one was taken on 3/11/04

This is what "Ice Follies" looks like when it first blooms. As the days pass, the cup fades to a pale butter yellow.

I really like this variety, which is called "Ice Follies". The picture below is a closer look at it. I need to get more this fall, because this particular variety was very pretty.

My fresias are in bloom right now, and are extremely fragrant. This red/yellow variety is the only thing blooming, but a more purple-ish color is about to bloom, and a bunch more is on the way.

And my absolute favorite Tulip so far this season is this amazing red/white parrot that I planted in my strawberry pot last fall. I cannot believe the color! This one was taken on my birthday, when it was in full bloom.

ladyrowan, you have some really pretty ones!

hi anahi, no not the ones on march 5th but the ones i think on the 7th or 8th... i'll have to look for the pics of the ones from march 5th ...... here are my elegant lady tulips... or are they blushing lady? i forget!!! anyway here they are in full bloom!!!! also today i have my very first Iris bloom... its a bearded iris.. and its is just perfect!!! i love it.. now to look for its lable to see what the name of it is.. anyway here are the tulips..

Those tulips are beautiful, but what I can't get over is the color of your sky! Sooooo blue! :)

Ladyrowan....it was the 'Ice Follies' I was curious about. Addin' to my wish list this fall. Thanks!

Here are some of my peach hyacinth.

Yellow tulips

hi ecobioangie, u know ur right , i didnt even notice it in this pic.... but it was very blue that day... as it is today.. of course we dont always have such blue skys around this time.. last week we just got rid of the fog finally .. lol.. i dont mind the fog but i like when it burns off by 9am... lol...i think when the skys are that blue it really sets of the gardens and really brings out the colors in flowers

langbr, my hubby bought me Ice Follies in oct last year... and they are an awesome daffodil... they come out bright, bright yellow... then fade to a pale yellow with whit edges.. plus they smell really nice... and the ruffle sticks out from the flower beautifully!!!!! here are two pics of mine this year, of course the first year i've had them..... this is a pic of the day they bloomed, and the other after they faded... (:

WOW ecobioangie, theres that blue again/... now u got me payin attention!!!! lol.. anyway here is a pic of the flower a few days later.. i also love the paper look of the white petals... i'd have to say so far out of all the daffs i had this year this was my fav.!!!! (: the last pic was taken on the march 10th and this one was taken on the 15th...

and a side view of that wonderful ruffle!!!!! (:

and here is a pic of a bunch of daffs , my second fav. daff is this smaller yellow one with the white center.. (:

Stunning, Gorgeous, Beautiful - all these photos are so great and put a continuous smile on my face - Thank You!! :)

ecobioangie, thanx alot... i try to capture what i see when i go out in the morning... and sometimes the flatness of pics takes away from the stunning beauty of the flowers.. so i try to get the detail as much as i can.. i know i just posted a pic of the bearded iris , but on compairing the pics of yeasterday and today the flower is open in the center more today and u can see inside of it... so i am going to post two more pics of it.... yesterday it was a little windy so i couldnt get a real good closeup of the flower.. anyway here they are... (:

ooooooo...it's so sparkly... :)

Cici....love it, love it, love it!!! (sorry my ISP has been down since 8:30pm last night and I'm having DG withdrawl)! Love that iris too! I don't think I see too many iris pics that have the inside close-up....great idea!! You can see all the detail and glistening petals!! Superb! I want that BLUE sky too!

Finally, my shaded tulips are starting to bloom! This in 'Angelique'

Here are a couple of mine.

and another one.

ONE more......

This is a neat daffodil, because there was a pale yellow ring about half-way in on the cup of the flower. The cup itself was a pink, or peach color, which was very dynamic against the white petals. Taken April 1

Love them all, you guys! Keep 'em comin'!!
