Eliza Waters 
A little beauty to herald in spring …. looking forward to seeing images of your awakening garden.
Thank you, Liz. I’ll do my best to provide them.
So beautiful!! 😍😍
Thank you, Trini!
Very pretty tiny bloom!
Thank you, Sandy. Good things come in small packages. 😉
I totally agree with that.
It’s grey and dull here. This added colour to my day! Gorgeous!
Thank you, glad to know that!
You’re welcome.
Your garden is of course, glowing,
and growing.
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row.”
🙂 So glad to have the growing season stretching out ahead of me!
Such a beautiful photo. I love scilla. They are the sparkliest blue in the garden.
Thank you, Ali!
Lovely plant and photo. It conveys how the plant pushed up through the soil in celebration of spring. Enjoy all the new growth and longer days!
Thank you very much, Carol!
I too am looking forward to your spring garden unfolding – this is a good foretaste of it.
Thank you, Anne. It’s been a slow start, but I expect it’ll take off soon.
color
balanced 🙂
A delight to behold!
Love the color! 🌈
Thank you, Karen!
What a beautiful sign of Spring 🙂
Thank you, Vicki. A happy sign for sure!
So pretty:)
Thank you, Karina!
Nature’s little miracles!
Truly! Thank you for stopping by, Anita/Jaye.
That beauty worked hard to break through the frost, cold soil, leaves, and bring such wonder to the world. My daffodils are probably 1″ tall right now. Slow, slow spring.
A very slow spring, but a lot like the springs of my youth when we had snow in the yard until mid-April and snow in the shady woods on Memorial Day. That hasn’t happened in years!
Oh the COLOR!! This is gorgeous, Eliza! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you very much, Amy! ❤
You are welcome!! 💖
Magical is the world of flowers, especially when they provide beautiful skirts for Fairies 🧚♀️ First Daffodil bloomed, yesterday….and I was so excited to see Pussy Willows just starting to peek out, on a Weeping Pussy Willow, from my son, which came with Pussys & had them the next year & then not for 3 years. Super Phosphate was recommended at the nursery. Our two new Bee hives, who have been here five days, were so happy with the warmer weather.
A Weeping Pussy Willow sounds lovely! I’m envious of your bee hives, are they yours or are they a beekeepers?
My son wanted Bees, last year…he financed & ordered the whole project…I do the flowers & fed both hives, daily, for almost 3 months with the sugar water. A quart a day or more per hive. 113 lbs of sugar! 😮🤭😁. We were so hopeful, but the hives didn’t survive…so sad to see so many dead Bees 😓. He wanted to try, again…so picked up the 2 boxes…each about 10,000 Bees, in Tyngsborough, MA, last Monday. It’s quite an experience…one Honey followed me around for a while, yesterday pm. The Scout!
How sad they didn’t survive. I didn’t realize one has to supplement their feed. Did you see this great TEDtalk by a Mass. bee researcher? https://www.ted.com/talks/noah_wilson_rich_how_you_can_help_save_the_bees_one_hive_at_a_time?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare
Spring is arriving, even with you!
At long last!
Just love that blue! Happy Spring to you!
Thank you very much, Kathy!
So glad spring is coming your way. It is so hard to wait for it, but what sweet pleasures it brings.
Thank you, Cindy. As they say, ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ 🙂
Spring is springing forth! Lovely shade of blue, Eliza!
Thank you, Donna!
Beautiful sight Eliza.
Thank you, Belinda!
Such fabulous plants. Which species of Scilla is it? Thus far, the only species I’ve been able to grow here is Scilla peruviana.
Scilla siberica. With a name like that, I expect it likes it cold. 😉 Yet S. peruviana is a mega-sized version and is so lovely to look upon.
The best blue!!!!
Agreed! 🙂
A welcome sight! Nothing much in bloom in central Maine yet. At least not that I have seen.
Thank you, Laurie. I hope it all the rest melts away for you this week!
Maybe by the end of the week…We shall see what is left for Snow-Gauge Clif to measure.
Perfection!
Thank you, Kim!
That is a pretty picture, I’d want to know what you used to click that pic….. The camera set-up I mean!
