    The Chionodoxa are my favorite. Tim & I call them the little purple stars when they come up every year. 🙂 Your spring garden is lovely!

    Hi Eliza. Signs of spring. I expect you are desperate for them after all that snow. Our bluebells are looking beautiful here at Le Shack but we are leaving them on Monday, heading back to the boat. I miss having no garden, but it will soon be time to plant up a few pots on the boat which is one of my favourite jobs. In the past I have had as many as nineteen but they ruin the paintwork so I shall have to scale back a bit I fear.

    They’re beautiful. Do bees enjoy them? Butterflies? (Do you even have butterflies yet?)

      Thank you, Linda. At this point, I’ve seen few bees, but it might be early yet. We’re in the midst of a bit of summery weather with temps in the 80s. Yesterday, I heard my first bumblebee buzz by and saw a cabbage white, which was definitely a surprise.

    What joyful sights! I especially like the contrast between the lovely flowers and the dried leaves. Spring meets fall.

    That is a nice variety of colors. Will they last in the heat?

      Thank you, the lawn is awash in color! No, sadly, they go fast at these temps. The crocus as keeling over, but the daffs are coming on strong to replace them.

    So nice to finally see some blooms. My crocuses have bloomed as well and a number of other bulbs are sprouting out throughout the garden. If I can keep the squirrels from eating the buds I should have some nice blooms in the coming days & weeks. (Suzanne)

        OH, yes. We are at 7400 ft. elevation here – and close to the CO border at the tail end of the Rockies. Still can freeze, even in June. Having the greenhouse helps. I don’t even try to plant veggies outside. I did get some daffodils, hyacinth, and trees this year. They are still waiting in their pots in the greenhouse. I’ll pop them in in a couple of weeks. Happy solar eclipse today! 💗

    Worth the wait. Winter’s doldrums make spring all that much better. 🙂

    Pretty 💜 I always loved these early bloomers, I had them on our property 30+ years ago, always popping through my leaves, telling me to get busy cleaning up the flower beds! 😉

    These photos are representative of today in Czechia ~ spring has finally arrived 🙂 It is our second day of warm weather and sunshine… and flowers are ready to arrive. Beautiful shots.
