I think these are tulips coming up.The bulbs are coming up. The cyclamens are up, too, and flowering. The primevères (primroses) are also up, but they're not yet flowering. It's a late year for them.
The forsythia are in full bud. It won't be long before we have bright yellow flowers.It's nice to be enjoying the benefits of longer days, especially when they're sunny ones. That's rare, this time of year, so we enjoy 'em when we get 'em.
Walt, your pictures give me hope that soon here in Aberdeen I'll be seeing the start of bulbs in my back garden. The days are lengthening, but we've been under a blanket of snow that has kept everything on the ground a secret.
ReplyDeleteObviously, this is Aberdeen, Scotland. If it were one of any Aberdeens in the US, it would be followed by the state abbreviation. The only Aberdeen I've been through is Aberdeen, MD.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah baby, it's happening around here too! Truthfully, it's one of my favorite times of the year.

ReplyDeleteis it a Rosé? :-)
Looks pretty. What with the drought and the heatwaves, everything's very brown down here. Which is sad.

April is a yellow month - daffodills, tulips and forsythia. I miss all of them.

ReplyDeletechm, correct!

ur-spo, there must be some springtime equivalent in Phoenix?
I am forcing springtime with cut forsythia. It must be nice to see it happening all over. Still too cold here in DC.
ReplyDeleteGreat news!!! Glad to see that spring is in the air...
ReplyDeleteI am planning to do a "girls trip" to Giverny to see the tulips in bloom (also the whisteria).
