Here’s a close up of a Danfordia iris. I love these delicate little flowers.
The detail on the underside and deep within the petal is lovely. The vibrant yellow and white pattern in each petal is amazing isn’t it?
Amid the leaves
I love how these pale pink Glories of the snow seem to be peeking out from between the leaves. usually these flowers stand high above the leaves, but I think mine were suffering from a lack of water when I photographed them and they were nestled among the leaves giving them a little more of a wild flower kind of look.
Hyacinth – just beginning to bloom
Ah, the sweet perfume of hyacinth is once more enhancing my backyard. A few of my hyacinth plants started to bloom on Friday and the flowers are just beginning to open.
I love the rich shades of color of these purple hyacinths. They are blue to deep blue in some light and purple at other times. It’s strange, yet beautiful.
Do you enjoy Hyacinths? Do you buy forced plants to have inside in the winter or do you grow them in your garden?
Glories of the Snow
Why these lovely flowers are called “Glories of the Snow” (Chionodoxa) I don’t know. Mine never come up while there’s still snow on the ground. Nope … they tend to come up somewhere between the beginning of April and the end of the April depending how warm a spring we’re having.
This year they came up in early April and due to a mostly dry month I believe they’re already starting to die down a bit. We did have some rain yesterday (wind storm prior to it was like a mini-tornado!) and we’re expecting more today, so maybe the lovely little flowers will last for a while longer.
In this photo I love how the green plant leaves are swirling around the flowers. I took this photo from a different angle than I normally do when I photograph these short stemmed flowers. I also like how the bent over tulip bud adds a punch of color to the background.
