Picture This #344 ~ Spring Flowers



Interesting banner photo from Benni, and thanks for hosting Heidi.

It is still a little too early for our spring flowers as we had a slow down with some frost weather over the last week or so, although I now have one daffodil in the garden, 3 anemones which still have buds and some tulips which are still stalks. Of course the snowdrops have been flowering for some time.

Let's start with my lent roses, or whatever they are called. They are the first to flower in my garden already in February and are still flowering now. There is the white variety, of which I have one plant, called the Christmas Rose.

I do have a few crocus that decided to brave the way out of the cold ground.

Here is a daffodil, from last year. This years are still thinking about it.

Primula are the first we see flowering.

I do not know what these wild flowers are, but are one of the first to see flowering along the banks of the local river.

  3. Hi Pat!! Lovely shots for Heidi's Spring theme. Nice flowers in the first shot, not a variety that I'm familiar with. Beautiful little yellow Crocuses, and of course the Daffodil is a Spring favourite for many. I usually see a lot of Primula here around this time, but I've not seen any yet. Don't know what the flowers in the final shot are, but I like them.

  4. Pat, such wonderful flowers. The Lent Roses are so delicate and i love the close up of the daffodil. Sunny little crocus and lemon yellow primula. Here we call them primroses. I think, but am not sure, that your white posies are Bloodroot. Nice picture with the ivy and tree trunk.
