We're watching a very early progression of spring flowers coming into bloom. Being largely stuck inside I get great pleasure in watching these small but significant changes that mark the coming of spring. Mind you, I got out for my first ride on Friday, even if it was just up and down our own street.
The Daffodil was first, just a single bloom of many, but they started today.
The blooms on one of the newer Hellebores are flourishing, under the watchful eye of our snowstick.
Our original Hellebore has quite different blooms, with deep purple shading.
The wrinkly green leaves of the Primrose are brightening up in patches in front of my eyes. They'll be in flower shortly.
And this is an unusual one, a single stalk of the Broad-leaved Grape Hyacinth.
Out front the Hyacinth are not yet in bloom, but they're showing lots of colour and will flower shrtly.
And off by a corner of the front porch the single tiny Iris has expanded into a cluster of four or five flowers.
This year Mrs. F.G. tried forcing a few twigs of Forsythia and they look beautiful, adding a flash of yellow to the house.
You must feel so confined, but you see more from your windows that we see on our forays.
ReplyDeleteThat dwarf iris is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got out a'wheelin'!
That was good you got your first ride out on Friday.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all of your photographs and I like the lovely yellow forsythia.
All the best Jan
Oh those Iris have such a pretty color to them.
ReplyDeleteNice you could get out. Today was a bit chilly, and we had snow!
ReplyDeleteHurrah for Spring flowers!!! The Iris is most lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to see those spring blooms, we have rain, in some places severe flooding, we are safe, Wellington has been deluged. Your snowstick has once again braved the winter snow to show his face.
ReplyDeleteNancy, how are you doing down there in the distant south?
DeleteWhat a great idea to bring forsythia cuttings in the house!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a nice ride for you on Friday, getting out there in the fresh Spring air and going somewhere, even if it was just up and and down the street. You folks sure have a lot of nice flowers.
