Signs of Spring

 A sunny day with a top temperature of 17.6 C. Spring is in the air!

 

This is a Turkestan tulip, Tulipa turkestanica:

We have a pot of these beside the front door. There were no flowers this morning, but a few have popped open this afternoon.


Plum blossom, with a small native bee:

 

Almond blossom:

 

Daffodils are opening up everywhere:

 

Grape hyacinths with a European honey bee:

 

And lastly, my Coral Charm peony is exploding out of the ground:

 

Spring is definitely on the way!

How beautiful! Daffodils always signal spring for me.
It’s still summer here, but I expect we will soon be thinking about autumn.

Beautiful flowers. Harbingers of spring. I love those daffodils! We still have 30 degree temperatures. My garden is wilting.
