Spring Blooms - Part 3

Beautiful Anita! Thanks for a great start to my day!!!

Thanks!

Celeste - it was a good start to my day too! ☺

Lots of new growth, not all recognizable yet. Wasn't there 2 days ago. It was so relaxing today to come home after work and walk thru the garden and see so much new growth. I have one yellow daffodil bud, the rest are still green.

Some out today. Patti

Nice, Patti!

ditto Patti!

Nice photos Anita & Patti.... love the pink one Anita

Spring beauty! Love it. :)

Thanks - it's a closeup on a hyacinth.

Patti - is that a lime green/yellow daff?

I wish, but it opened a uniform bright chrome yellow. Rip Van Winkle blooming in part shade on the west side of the house. Patti

This is first time working with my new camera so bear with me. Woodstock hyacinth.

I have 2 blossoms on 1 helebore plant, no others have any blossoms. Do they usually take long to establish??

some 7 years from seed

Nice, Jen. Yes, hellebores are slow.

Seven years? Now I'm glad I bought mine potted.Thanks Victor--Jo Ann

I believe mine bloomed the second or third year after planting the potted ones.

nice pictures everyone! Anita's dewy flower collage, and Patti - I love the frits.... Its really shocking to see all this ground out side- Its been covered in white for soooo long. New things every day now, I'm starting to get a little woosie... Daphne blooming (actually the smell does make you swoon)

Nice, Sarah. I have Carol Mackie but it's still small and never bloomed. Anita, just noticed the backlit hellebore in your collage - beautiful!

kind of a fuzzy picture above- but maybe gives more of the woozy feeling- Lenten roses

and - katherine hodgkin... the first time i saw this iris i was blown away by the color.. is it actually beatiful, or just really strange?

Oh how pretty Sarah. The daffs are trying to open here, not before the rain comes though I think.

One of the forsythia has open finally too.

Pansy is still looking bright on a grey cloudy day, they always make me smile.

thanks victor- I have to plant more daphne.. always good to have a long list of garden have to haves.. Is mine d. mezereum?? I just call it spring daphne- a friend of mine rooted it- i was impressed! It's gradually becoming a real bush..

wonderful pictures ngam- you're a couple steps ahead of us here!

Oh look at all the pretty flowers! It's so nice to see color and not snow/and or brown pictures.

Could you slide over here and lend your name??

Re:helebores,
I wish I had known that about them. I would have gotten them anyway but I like to have all the facts. That's something they should tell you when buying plants, the time it takes to become established.

i totally lack the patience for anything that takes that long!
i love the strangely beautiful grey irises! How tall are they? i would love to have some with my uva vulpis...

I keep getting excited when I see 'uva vulpis'. My mind wanders...

My first fully open daff.

Cooler view.

Another just starting to open.

Vinca.

Oops!

Victor, get your mind out of the uvas!

Nice shots Victor!

Thanks, Celeste.

here is a few from me today... open wide today... two more buds waiting behind it

1st one
