The crocuses that I grow in my back yard are just about finished blooming. It’s sad in a way as they are so pretty and being one of the first flowers to bloom in my garden they are one of the sure signs of spring for me each year.
I love how the sunlight lights up the petals of these pretty purple crocuses. You can even see the shadow of other petals if you look closely.
These lovely, colorful, Crocus’ were blooming in my garden on Saturday. That day was absolutely beautiful, it reached 14 Celsius here in Toronto and I was able to get out and not only photograph the flowers that were blooming but do some much needed work in the garden.
Unfortunately the nice weather didn’t last. On Monday we had a snow storm .. well, ok, it’s still snowing! So much for Spring! At least I know the weather will be nice again in a few days and the snow will melt.
It’s looking a lot like Spring around here in Toronto, but I’ll have to wait until June before I see these tiny Heuchera flowers again.
Heuchera plants only seem to bloom once a year- at least the ones I have only bloom once each year, and it’s usually in late Spring or early summer. Oh but when they bloom they become such pretty plants!
Do you grow Heuchera in your garden?
This Hyacinth isn’t blooming in my garden yet- but give it two months or so and I’ll have several of these beauties making my garden look lovely! Oh and the scent! Just looking at this photo brings to mind the heady scent of Hyacinths!
On nice warm spring days I love to open the windows of my house and have the scent of Hyacinth waft in on the breeze. Of course, Hyacinths have quite a strong scent … it can be quite irritating to some people. If you have a potted Hyacinth indoors you might want to keep it in a low traffic area .. don’t worry, you’ll still smell it!
