The daffodils against the eastern side of our neighbor's house always come up well ahead of any of our spring flowers. They've been up a while, and finally I noticed tulips coming up in the garden on one side of our driveway. (We refer to it as the Rose of Sharon garden, because of the big Rose of Sharon growing in the middle of it. We also refer to the garden as "The Garden By Ann's Yard" because she is our neighbor and the garden shares ground with both her property and ours.)
Anyway, I took the camera outside a little while ago to take a few pictures of things poking up through the ground. Bill planted a ton of bulbs last fall - tulips and other things - so we're looking forward to finding out what the squirrels left for us.
Here are a few pictures from this afternoon....
These are some of the tulips in the Rose of Sharon garden:
Here's another one:
A hyacinth:
Daffodils in front of the house:
More tulips - these coming up along the front walk:
Happy surprise - a few mini crocuses! (Or mini croci?)
And columbine in front of the house on the other side:
Ooh - and another little crocus peeking out from last fall's debris:
Forsythia buds...
Buds on the spindly maple out front...
Early blossoms on the Andromeda in the back yard:
Buds on the cherry tree:
And on one of the rose bushes:
Oh, why not. One more look at the crocuses.
Spring is on her way.
