I’m keeping an eye on the daffodils in my yard and they are just about to bloom. For now here is a picture I took in January when I spent a few days in Charleston. The bright cheery window boxes of flowers were perfect and I hope to see more fresh spring flowers very soon!
Happy New Year! There aren’t any outdoor flowers in bloom where I am but here are some pictures from Kew Gardens I took a couple of years ago. It was a sunny day in May and I saw so many beautiful scenes like these.
This was a good choice for lunch.
It was a lovely day for flowers – I hope it isn’t long before spring is back!
Since there won’t be any outdoor flowers until spring I thought I’d share some of my pictures of the Philadelphia Flower Show from a couple of years ago. The year I went there was a snowstorm but since the show was indoors it didn’t matter. It was a wonderful reminder that spring was coming and so were the flowers!
I’d like to go back again soon and see more colorful flowers…
This spring has been a wonderful time for bright, colorful flowers. A few days ago the hydrangeas in my front yard started to bloom. Last year they mostly produced leaves, but now there are flowers like this.
Some are blue and some are almost blue…
It’s been an lovely year for flowers!
This is for the FOTD Challenge.
While I was on a walk I saw these dogwood trees – one blooming in white and the other in pink – under a bright blue sky.
And there are so many more flowers coming soon!
This is for the Flower of the Day challenge.
It’s a lovely day for a walk in Colonial Williamsburg to see flowers, buildings, and shops that are currently open. The tree-lined sidewalks provide enough shade to stay cool.
Flowers are in bloom everywhere!
It’s interesting to look at the shop displays.
This is a charming place to walk any time of the year!
I thought the beginning of May was a perfect time to visit a park that has flowers, benches and even a fountain. Here’s the view from the entrance.
I walked to the fountain first.
If I followed these paths there were benches, fresh greenery and flowers.
Here’s a closeup of some azaleas.
It was a perfect day for a walk and a look at the colorful flowers. Spring has arrived!
This is for Jo’s Monday Walk.
With just the right blend of April showers and and bright sunshine these azaleas are a cheerful sight in my front yard. I hope they last a long time!
This is for the FOTD challenge.
It looks like April is for showers AND flowers. After some rain a few days ago there are new places to see flowers. Here is a forsythia that’s in bloom in my backyard. The yellow flowers seem even brighter compared to the trees that still don’t have any leaves. It’s wonderful to share a picture I’ve just taken!
This is for the FOTD challenge.
After a long winter the first spring flowers are back! This daffodil is from my garden and it was delightful to see its bright cheery color.
These violets were in the yard (but not the garden) so I suppose they should be dug out or mowed. However I think I’ll leave them alone for now – they’re so colorful.
More flowers are getting ready to bloom, and I say the sooner the better!
