Now that spring has arrived, it looks like it is going to linger awhile. That's fine by me! I'm always sorry when it rushes headlong into summer, given I enjoy these days of increasing colour and the slow unfurling of fresh green leaves on the trees.
In my last post, I showed these flowers in the early morning, before they opened for the day and several people commented on them. I don't recall their name. Could they be some kind of English daisy?
More tulips. I picked one of these to bring indoors. It adds a nice bit of colour to the rather subdued shades in my living room.
Spring rain, spring flowers, spring joy.
I hope your day is a lovely one. Thank you for visiting.
Spring & my bulbs are on the way out now here, it's lovely to see your spring garden though.
ReplyDeleteYour spring flowers are beautiful! We have had a lot of rain and thunderstorms the last couple of days. Everything is blooming nicely!
ReplyDeletei dropped by our old house and checked out all my bulbs this week.
ReplyDeleteLove your flowers. They are so colorful and abundant. We are still waiting for ours to bloom. Those purple tulips are gorgeous!

Love to see the tulips and daffodils. I need to get outside and take some pics of mine. They're slowly starting to bloom. Another semi-rainy day here- but the grass is green and the plants love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks very colorful and awesome...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the tulips. I really cannot grow them here. It has gone into summer here. I am having to get up early to garden before it gets into the 90's. xo, olive
ReplyDeleteAll so very pretty ! Lovely photos ! Some of my spring flowers have bloomed and some have not . I am however loving this summer like weather we are having ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing better for the season than garden's highlights. And yours dear Karen is so vivid and awesome indeed! All those flowers have already gone in Greece , there is jasmine and bougainvillea which are blooming now...
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you are having your own tulip festival right there in your garden, it looks so pretty!! xx
ReplyDeleteKaren your garden looks lovely - it's been raining here for the past 3 days and it has knocked down most of my tulips. Thanks for sharing yours!

Beautiful flowers.. I am hoping that some of my spring flowers will come up.. Not sure if you know that I am now doing an Almost Wordless Wednesday party each week, it starts Tuesday evening through Thursday. Would love to have you join me when you can.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely spring garden there Karen. Things are really blooming here now and we're in for a few sunny and warmer days starting tomorrow. The leaves on the trees should start popping this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour spring garden is full of colour and beautiful blooms, Karen. I hope spring sticks around for awhile, too. Lovely tulips you have. My tulips are done and the lilacs very nearly so. But there's one lush peony and more to come, with irises in the background. Every plant has its day to shine in the sun (or the rain).
ReplyDeleteA riot of colour comes to mind for your spring blooms Karen. I have a few tulips open now and we've been getting lots of rain.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. The second picture from the top, with all that vivid colour, really is stunning. Can't wait to see things in your garden (and mine!) as they progress. Have wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, wonderful time of year! I think that purple flower is a spring anemone, also known as a windflower.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tulips and daffy's! I miss mine as we have been in the hot and humid temps here! The purple flower is an anemone--you have beautiful blooms!
ReplyDeleteHi,Karen,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see your tulips are flowering. I really like to think that your picked tulip colored in your room!!
Happy spring!
Gorgeous spring blooms, Karen! You have some lovely and unusually coloured tulips and everything looks so happy and flourishing. The purple flowers are anemone blanda - also called winter windflower - such a pretty plant!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a happy, sunny weekend.

Seeing all those lovely blooms and gorgeous colors just makes me want to give myself a hug -- and you, too! :)
ReplyDeleteYour spring flowers are delightful and colorful. The one flower looks like a Grecian Wind Flower.
ReplyDeleteHow delightful to see spring unfurling all over again in your beautiful part of the world.

Like you, I vow each year to visit a Tulip display - this one is in WA - but somehow never make it. Your spring flowers must have been lovely, and so welcome after the long winter you had.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of loveliness going on there! :)
ReplyDeletethe colors . . . the shape of the flowers . . . the abundance . . . BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThe more flowers, the merrier, right?! You can never have too many flowers and the ones in your pretty garden are certainly a promise of the bright and beautiful colours that await us this summer!
Hope you had a lovely Victoria Day!
Poppy
Your spring bulbs are gorgeous Karen. I love this time of year in the garden, everything looks so fresh.
ReplyDeleteYou sure have a beautiful garden! I really like the color of the "English Daisies" (as you called them). Not long ago, we all sat around and imagined our gardens full of flowers. And now, we can actually see our gardens in bloom. It's fun to see new flowers bloom every few days.
