The Promise of Spring

The spring flowers are bursting at the seams here, just tantalizing us with their swelling buds, but not quite blooming.  And it hasn't snowed again in five whole days!  Spring for me is not just the spring flowers blooming, but the anticipation!  And may the snow be finished by now!

Yes I have to record this, but the Daffodils don't seem to mind and recover quickly!

In the back yard, the first of what will be many Primrose is in bloom.

This is the first of the umbrella Primrose, which has somehow found its way through the leaves.

And the Hellebore are starting to look like themselves.

There's one Broad-leaved Grape Hyacinth in bloom.

And the Daffodils are oh so close!

The Forsythia will bloom in a day or two too.

Out front the buds of the Hyacinth are ready to unfold.  I'm almost counting the hours for some of these!

  5. Your spring is ready to burst through. The primrose are beautiful. I could never grow forsythia in this state other than just get green leaves and so few flowers.

  14. I can almost feel the excitement and promise of spring in your words. There’s something so uplifting about witnessing nature’s delicate progress, and you’ve captured that anticipation beautifully. It’s a reminder that even after the coldest of times, growth and renewal are just around the corner.
