While I've been regaling you with stories from the ancient past my favourite spring flower has started blooming, the dwarf Iris in a brilliant royal blue colour. It's right by the front door, on the south side of the house where I watch for it every spring.
But then, even worse, they came along and spread more grit! Just what I don't need!
Some distant yellow Crocus, about 20 feet away. Bright sparks of colour in the garden.
Any speck of colour in the garden is delightful at this time of year. Enjoy the Iris flower, it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMore of the look of spring requested here too. Let’s hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteThe snow is melting quickly here, but there are no signs of green just yet.
ReplyDeleteI have to ask, was it that icy that they needed to sand the streets? With just a skiff of snow, I can't imagine it would be needed.
I agree!
DeleteI love the little spring bulbs.
ReplyDeleteI saw a couple of the Iris out last week in the Annex neighbourhood and was amazed to see the. They were in a south facing garden too.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see the iris and crocus ... beautiful colours of Spring.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
The iris is so pretty - such a vibrant color.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun to see this first bursts of color. It's time for the white colour to go and stay gone.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, April's like that -- early flowers, snow and rain, some days bordering on cold and some downright hot.
