We had a couple of those inordinately warm mid-March days earlier this week, and the first spring flowers bloomed at our house. We have no Snowdrops or Crocus or it might have been earlier. It's turning colder again for a week now, so I don't expect any more, but these are a taste of what's to come.
After two days this week that reached 12°C with bright sunny skies, it feels like we're headed back to winter. Snow and freezing temperatures are in the forecast for next week.
It truly is strange. I'd rather have snow cover this month!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a treat, but now I am whiny about colder weather returning.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy those spring flowers while they are in bloom. They might even survive if the weather turns cold again.
ReplyDeleteI love these but sure haven't seen any out down here yet.
ReplyDeleteA colder week coming up but the following week temperatures are predicted to rise again into the low 40F range with a few sunny days thrown in.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful iris. Our hellebore (lenten rose) has green flowers, not white like yours; we've had it for many years, one clump in the shade that's always done well and another that gets more sun and just hangs on not doing well.
ReplyDeleteBeauties, itching to make an appearance.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the colours coming in the spring.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see them, even if they are a little early. Tuesday starts the actual spring season!
ReplyDeleteWinter has been reluctant here too this year. Our snow is almost gone but it will be back for sure! We’ve lost it numerous times already. That iris is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNice having an early glimpse of spring. I'm sure we will get at least one more snowfall this year.
ReplyDeleteThat Iris is such a welcome color in Spring!
ReplyDeletei am not sure these spring blooms could not be more welcome. LOVE the iris, the flower and the color!!
