Springing

A touch of orange:
The first of the third layer of tulips is opening, and it appears to be orange! I'm surprised how long the flowers are lasting. The first pink ones opened three weeks ago, and they still look pretty good.

More tulips elsewhere in the garden:

You know spring has arrived when you start seeing butterflies, but this one seems to have had quite a rough time:
Its wings are very tattered. But it seemed to be getting a good feed of nectar among the spring stars and the lavender:

And look! I hadn't noticed, but there is more blossom in the orchard.

Cherry blossom:
And a nashi pear:
