More Flowers

The world here is coming alive with colour, and a few green leaves can't be far behind.  It's still the Daffodils that are the highlight for me, but there are a number of other flowers coming into bloom.

Clustered around our Birch tree are a number of Hyacinths, one of the most fragrant plants in the garden.

We have both pink and blue one, and they both, along with a Daffodil or three, ended up in a small bouquet beside my computer the other day.

We have a couple of small patches of Scilla out back.

And one unusual 'species' tulip.

And then there are the plants just emerging - this is one of our big Peonies.

And I think this is our pink Bleeding Heart.

  7. What a beautiful time of year it must be in your garden. The Daffodils, Hyacinths, and Scilla must be filling the air with the most delightful fragrances. I can almost picture that unusual tulip standing out amongst the blooms! The Peony and Bleeding Heart emerging are exciting signs that the garden is in full swing for spring. You have such a wonderful variety of flowers—it's truly a feast for the eyes. I look forward to hearing more about your garden's progress, and you're always welcome to check out my latest post when you have a moment.

  8. Your way is still somewhat more advanced that our way. But then you are slightly farther north and closer to the bigger lakes. After living in Sarnia for many years, I still think of your region as north.

  9. I love all the colour! Our peonies will be a few weeks later than you, but I'm happy to report there is green happening here and a wee flower too.
    Enjoy!

  11. I can never decide which scent I like better....Lilacs or Hyacinths. Both are blooming here now and I have some that have been brought indoors. The scent is almost overpowering.

  14. Gorgeous colour! I've been checking for peony shoots, none yet. Things just went nuts with two warm days and a night, up to 25C yesterday, but this AM it is -3C...I won't clear off my beds until temps. stay 10ish, to protect the overwintering bees and bugs. Saw my first garter snake yesterday...it was gorging on a toad......
