Well things are beginning to look a lot like Spring around here. This is what is happening so far on our back deck.
The young Maple tree is sprouting soft new leaves. It looks so hopeful in the afternoon sun.
All four of my Rosemary plants are in full bloom now.
As well as these Primroses which actually bloomed all winter! Even with all the rains.
The Cobbitty Daisy below, survived the winter and is now in bloom as well.
These are the days we've been waiting for. Warmer, sunnier days. Birds singing, frogs croaking, bees buzzing. Ahhhh the beauty of it all. I couldn't resist buying a couple of new plants to add to the collection.....
this colorful Calla Lily....
a Dutch Iris...
and this sweet, tiny Cyclamen. The world looks a little brighter having these new Spring colors around.
Today my dear friend Silvia, in Spain, sent me these beautiful photos of the first flowers blossoming on her terrace. So beautiful!
Cosmos....and.....
a lovely Tulip. Great photos don't you agree? Thank you Silvia for sending me these.
edited to add: You can check out Silvia's lovely blog here .
What's happening in your gardens today dear readers? Is Spring happening in your part of the world?
Wishing you all a beautiful week.

Those primroses are so dependable! Protected on the porch, mine were in full bloom all winter long as well!

Hi Alicia,
Thanks for stopping by. Yeah...in our coastal climate, primroses bloom pretty much all year long huh? They really are dependable all right.
Do you get frogs at your place? They are in full force here at our place.
Come by again!
