A Welcome Sight


 (Forsythia)

The first flowers of spring.
A welcome sight after our long, snowy winter.

What's blooming in your garden?

    Good Morning Gayle, Hoorah, Spring is here....well at least in your part of the world.
    I love Forsythia and tend to use it for displaying faux Easter Eggs, as normally Easter is when Forsythia flowers in my part of the world.
    I do have some daffodils peeping through the soil....I can't wait for them to flower.
    Have a lovely day.
    Best Wishes
    Dahne

    What beautiful blooms. I've started to see the green of future daffodils coming up. Not much yet. We're all anxious!

    Great pictures! I don't have much blooming yet. Crocuses are about done. A few daffs and some scilla. Pretty though.

    I saw some forsythia blooming in D.C. but not yet in my hometown. I love forsythia and bradford pears. Both are so pretty. I would welcome them both and I hope they get to blooming here soon. :)

    Our Forsythia bushes are
    very pretty right now.
    We put our potatoes in on
    Saturday (late due to the
    weather) More to come later.

    I did another Autism post yesterday
    and tried to answer your question
    from last week.

    Your spring is so much farther along than ours. We are finally going to get warm weather this weekend. So we do have hopes. Loved seeing your blooms in the meantime!

    Well my dear, there is NOTHING blooming in my garden. Still under snow. But I keep my eyes on the pussy willows so I can go cut some as soon as they bud out.

    It is funny to see all my Northern hemisphere blog friends getting excited about Spring when we are saying good riddance to the heat of summer and we are welcoming the cool breezes of Autumn. The temperatures are the same as Spring and many flowers bloom too or still. It is lovely to see the flowers from up there though.

    Pretty flowers and photos. I am thankful our area Magnolia trees have note been effected by the overnight low temps. It is beginning to look more like Spring, just wished the temperature would know that.
