In a farm/nursery in Maine. I have no idea what these are, but I liked them.

I never noticed before that things bloom in specific colors in my garden at one time. Most of the blues and whites have passed, pinks are going and now I have purple flowers.

A new tulip in my garden this year. I love the intense yellow center.

On this morning’s walk, I was delighted by the masses of flowers in neighborhood gardens. Happy Mother’s Day

Tulips

My neighbor’s tulips remind me of peonies. Spring has been exploding around here and yet, I haven’t been taking many photos. House repairs, work, always energetic dog, gardening, decisions to be made, and my pursuit of trying to learn watercolors have taken over, but trust me, I am enjoying every flower and flowering tree I see.

Spiral and Blue

I didn’t know that forget me not flowers emerge from a spiral. Double good since I love spirals and blue flowers.

Blues and Purple too

That Day of the Year

A few warm days and sunshine and there they were, my first crocuses to bloom. We are going back to cold again tomorrow, but the birds singing and crocuses blooming are happy making. I think I post a photo of the first crocus every year, but why not?

Blooming Escargot

My escargot begonia has sprouted flowers for the first time, while something seems to be nibbling on the leaves.

Croton Macro

My very old croton plant has bloomed for the second time. There’s something sea creature like about these tiny flowers.
