Spring Bloomers

yeah, they are doing their thing

Those are definitely eye candy.

Alberta everything looks gorgeous.  I can smell Spring at your house.  Yummy!!!

You've certainly had to be patient this year, and it's all been worth it, looking lovely

At long last eh?  There are quite a few daffs there, a nice cheery sight after all your snow.

And about time too!! Hope the snow stays away for good now. Everything looks great.

Very lovely flowers there, but unfortunately it seems nearly all of my spring blooms are now past though the tree peonies I guess could fall into that category as well, and the first ones should be opening in my garden very soon!  The red one I have seems always to bloom a week to a week and a half earlier than the other ones I have!

Very pretty Alberta. With the weather we`ve been havin, it`s a wonder anythings bloomin. Our weather is so cold here, and rainy that if anything does bloom, I hurry and take a good long look at it cause it won`t last. Either the cold gets it or the rain beats it to death!

Looking great, Alberta. Nice to see you getting some blooms that aren't 'white' and blowing.

Yeah! Glad to see your finally getting spring!

LOOKIN' GOOOOOD!

Yay!  Your long awaited flowers looking so happy in the sunshine!  Everything looks beautiful....very cheery.  I think they're all smiling!

Oh, so, pretty, Alberta!

Love that strong pink coloured hyacinth. I don't have that colour. Mmm, I can almost smell it.

More and more every day eh?  I love the bright colours.

  mmm pink and blue, my favourite combination, lovely Alberta

The next batch of bloomers, inculding the daffs I planted for Erdine.

and some others

Everything looks great Alberta!

All your spring blooms look amazing Alberta.    Erdine would have enjoyed all your pictures and the daffodils especially.  There is some significance with flax...religious or in memory..  I can't remember but anyway the two look beautiful together.

It looks lovely Alberta. Isn't spring wonderful? I love Pulsatilla....yours is just about to bloom.

Gorgeous, Alberta, all of them.

A bounteous spring at your place. Very Pretty. Love the tinman.

Thanks All.  My seasons are to short to NOT have color as long as I can, and lots of it.!

Boo, I don't know anything about  any flax stories. time for a google.

Gilli, the Pulsatilla has been mistakenly been called Crocus in much of the province for as long as I can remember. It grew is a wild flower and I would pick them for my mom.

Now I'm trying to grow some in my flower beds, I haven't seem them in the wild for a long time now.

Bethie, I don't take credit for Mr. Tin man, he was a project my husband did when we first moved here.

I found a site that gives meanings and legends of flowers.

"flax is the flower of the goddess Bertha"

Now if only I knew Bertha.

Lovely fresh  look, Alberta.  Makes me miss the lawns that I once had - and of course

I love the colours.

it's all looking lovely Alberta

Alberta your gardens are beautiful,  But as always I so enjoy seeing your garden decor,  They make me smile.

Pretty much the final spring bulbs are in bloom now.

Gorgeous! I can't believe you have bulbs blooming this late but then you did have the snow when the rest of us had sunshine.
