Spring Colors From My Yard









Sometimes everything blooms at once, but not this year. A little of this and a little of that, but all taken today.

Very beautiful, Ann! I think the extra blasts of cold has dampened the bloom on some plants and shrubs, but in a week or so it will all be over and the warm rains and sun will bring more blooms.

This Northern girl is just a little bit jealous of all that beautiful color! Oh how I envy you living in a warmer climate!!
I will enjoy your blossoms even if they are only pictures - they brighten my day none the less, and I really enjoy all the pictures you post - they bless my socks off!

Everything looks wonderful. Two hours north and we barely have anything blooming.

I wish our azaleas looked half as vibrant as yours! And who is that scrumptious little yellow and orange creature?

Beautiful blooms, Ann! I love your azelias. Well, I love all your flowers. Things are just starting to come to life in my neck of the woods, and it will take a bit more warmth to get things really going. But I have enjoyed seeing yours.

Have a nice evening!

I wish you could see me JUMPING UP AND DOWN with jealousy and GLEE... wow, wow.... even when spring eventually hits us here, I won't have all that color. Amazing. Thank you for sharing your garden.

WOW!!! NICE!!!!
My azaleas are just starting, the first one is "pinking up." Not sure if I will have any tulips this year. Got some free-bees last year that bloomed, one right much like yours - but generally the critters eat the bulbs. I am so glad they don't eat the daffodils!
Great pictures. Looks like a lovely place!

Beautiful Ms. Ann! No where else in the world but North Carolina is so beautiful. Your yard is one of the best I've seen this Spring!

I had one of those comments with a link that gave my computer a virus! Luckily the virus protection took care of it!

Great color - that is why my favorite season is spring. My dogwoods are almost in full bloom, the pear has finished, the blueberries and wild blackberries are continuing and the thorn-less blackberries are just about to start. ec

Ann,

Your photos are beautiful. We won't see blooms in our yard here for sometime yet. The tulips are about 3 inches high. The snowdrops are blooming and they are harbingers of spring and the first flowers to bloom. They are tiny and delicate, but lovely.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful yard.
Blessings,
Mary

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!! I noticed the azaleas around here last week and wonder if mine are starting to bloom at home. Hopefully, I'll get home next week to see!
