My favorite time of year is when spring finally arrives. This year it’s a few weeks early. No complaints from me! Yellows, pinks and blues…refreshing after the browns and grays of winter.
Magnolia ‘Jane’
Hyacinth
This small spirea has tiny sweet blossoms on it. I don’t remember the variety.
Daffodils…such happy flowers.
The blossoms of the mini daffodil ‘Minnow’ are about an inch wide.
The Star Magnolia has a wonderful scent.
Sure sign of spring…the Spring Beauties.
The peonies are stretching upward!
The apricot trees are blooming about as early as we’ve ever seen them.
In the woods, the bloodroot is blooming. One of the purest white flowers I know.
Even the veggie garden is getting a good start on spring. The lettuce is up and we’ll soon have spinach and radishes sprouting.
The refreshing beauty of spring always reminds me of God’s generous goodness and provision.

Everything looks wonderful. My Minnow daffodils have great foliage and never a blossom. You think maybe they’re too deep?
Wow Rhonda! Your blooms are amazing! I think we must be a few weeks behind you, seeing your spring bulbs makes me feel giddy all over!
Thanks for sharing your pix.

Nell Jean, here’s a site with a list of reasons that daffodils may not bloom.

I hope that helps. We have three clumps of Minnow daffs and one doesn’t bloom. It is our oldest one and I think it needs to be dug, separated and replanted. We’ll be doing that when the leaves begin to yellow.

love the hyacinths~~~”If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft…and from thy slender store two loaves to thee are left, sell one and with the dole…..buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.” My favorite.
Your yard is always better than a trip to the Bot. gardens!! yipee for spring.~~Laurie
